Without more detail, yes, however ...

Your registrar is smoking crack. There is no such requirement (nor could
there be). I am quite sure about this, I used to work at ICANN. I would
suggest that you run, do not walk, to transfer your domains to another
registrar. Then, I'd send ICANN a complaint about the registrar you are
using currently. karen.lentz@icann.org is your best bet, assuming things
haven't changed too much since I left.
hope this helps,
Doug
