for details) your domain name is ready to use.However, due to the nature of the DNS system it can take up to 36 hours for all the DNS servers across the Internet to "learn" and be able to "see" your
domain.
Although it can take up to 36 hours it is typically much less than this (usually around 12-24 hours).
Occasionally domains may not get included in the main WHOIS or DNS database update for that day
(depends what time of day the domain was registered relative to the database update). This can additionally delay the time it takes the domain to be fully "visible" for up to 24 hours but this is usually very rare!
