About Domain registration

[Kalifoncl]

Hi, i just wanted to know if it's posible to register a domain anonymously, i would give my real name in registration, but in the whois search my name wouldn't show, is this posible?

[wm2k1]

no
it is by law at all domain name information must show up on the whois server

.tk does not have a whois... Also I believe that .bz does not either.

[wm2k1]

what i mentioned above applied to gtld

It's possible for some TLDs for instance Kyrgyzstan (.ORG/NET/COM.KG are free). But for what?
If you get into trouble, you'll lose your domain without any mean to reclaim it.

duh...he don't want people know his personal information such as home address and telephone numbers

...but it would be impossible to claim that the domain name is his if those information isn't kept in a record somewhere

In the name of transparency, I guess its really important to ensure that your details are there should any dispute arise. The registrars need to ensure that they are well protected and are able to take the necessary steps should any legal issues ( copyright etc. ) come into play.
