If this wasn't the case then, it is now.

Go Daddy will SELL this feature to you for 7USD/year. Dreamhost does it for free. If you ask them for it, they will probably change that information to make your address public.

There are almost three months since I tried for the first time to transfer the domain names. For some domains still I’m trying, but no answer from DH.

So, it’s not so easy with Dreamhost.

You do. The reason the records looks like you depict above is to save you from having your name displayed in the WHOIS info. If you had checked with DH I'm sure they would acknowledge that. Also, as a customer there you can transfer your domains at any time from DH to some other domain registrar. Dreamhost actually doesn’t own your domains. You do.

Anyway, even if the payment is made later, when the registrar receive the payment it is forced to change the registrant for that domain name with the real registrant.
