At the moment, DNSSEC is not automatic: right now it needs to be specifically enabled by network operators at their recursive resolvers and also by domain name owners at their zone's authoritative servers.
Just as you can make other changes to a zone, such as the list of the zone's authoritative name servers, you can also update the zone's public key material to complete the implementation of DNSSEC for your zone.
On this page, we have listed some of the commonest domain registrars that some of our customers often have to deal with.
If yours is not listed, please contact your domain registrar support team for help.
WARNING
Once you enable DNSSEC for your domain, do not change your name servers while DNSSEC is enabled.
If you do, your domain may not resolve.
Before changing name-servers, disable DNSSEC and wait for at least 72 hours before making such changes.
If you change a web host (or need to transfer a domain) and need to move the account/domain to a new server, remove the Domain Server (DS) records from the registrar before you transfer the domain.
Once you have done that, wait for the changes to propagate before initializing the transfer.
If you do not remove the old DS records from the registrar, the domains may produce DNS resolution issues due to invalid DNSSEC responses.

Google Domains |
If you’re using Google Domains name servers, you can turn on DNSSEC with one click. Follow these instructions:
When you turn on DNSSEC, it takes roughly 2 hours for DNSSEC to activate completely. When you turn it off, there’s a delay of up to 2 days before deactivation. If you have custom name servers, you may need a third-party DNS provider to configure DNSSEC for your domain. Additionally, you must activate DNSSEC on Google Domains. Follow the instructions below:
Google Cloud DNS & DNSSECIf DNSSEC was enabled during the DNS zone creation, select the DNSSEC to On and click save. Google Cloud DNS will create DNSSEC records for public keys (DNSKEY), signatures (RRSIG), and non-existence (NSEC, or NSEC3 and NSEC3PARAM) to authenticate your zone’s contents and manage them automatically. Once this action has been performed, it is time to deal with the Registrar part. Click on the Zone name, then Registrar Setup at the top right to view the DNSSEC resource records to update in your domain. You will get these values which you will need to secure the domain name at your registrar to.
