Modifying the Ownership Identity of a .EU Domain Name / Moving a .EU Domain Name to another Customer

The .EU domain name Contact management is quite different from other domain names. There is a restriction on modifying the Registrant Contact details in .EU domain names. Click here to familiarize yourself with the uniqueness of various .EU Contacts >>

There is a fee involved in performing either one of the following actions as it constitutes changing the Ownership Identity of a .EU domain name:

  • modifying the Company Name or Name (in the absence of a Company Name) of the Registrant Contact, or
     
  • moving a .EU domain name to another Customer.
IMPORTANT

If you wish to simply modify the Name of the Registrant Contact (which has a Company Name associated with it) and/or other contact details of the Registrant Contact, then you need to follow another process. Click here to read about this process >>

Follow the below mentioned process to modify the Company Name or Name (in the absence of a Company Name) of the Registrant Contact of a .EU domain name:

  1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the .EU domain name and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>
     
  2. Click on the Modify Company button.
     
  3. At the time of modifying the Company Name or Registrant Name (in the absence of a Company Name) of your .EU domain name, you have two options -
     
    • You may choose a different Registrant Contact from the list of Registrant Contacts or create an altogether new .EU Registrant Contact by clicking on the Add Eu Registrant Contact link and filling in the details in the form presented. After specifying the new Registrant Contact, click on the Modify Company button and then click on Continue.
       
    • You may move/transfer this domain name to another Customer by providing the new Customer ID and Customer Username. After providing these details, click on the Proceed button and then Confirm the New Customer. Then, you will be required to add a EU Contact and proceed further.
     
    IMPORTANT

    The Add Contact form supports accented characters, except for the Phone Number, Fax Number and Email Address fields.

     
  4. There is a fee involved for performing either of the above mentioned two options and you need to pay for the generated Invoice to complete the ownership modification. Click here for more details on the Payment process >>
IMPORTANT

It should be noted that modifying the Registrant Company Name or Registrant Name (in the absence of a Company Name) of a .EU domain name or moving a .EU domain name to another Customer, will Renew the domain name for a year from the date of paying for the associated Invoice.

For example, if a .EU domain name is Expiring on 30 Oct, 2007 and you modify its Company Name or Registrant Name (in the absence of a Company Name) on 31 Aug, 2007, the domain name will be Renewed and the new Expiry date will be 31 Aug, 2008. Of course, there will be charge associated for this Renewal.

Once the process starts, both the Current as well as the New Registrant Contact for the domain name will receive an e-mail from the Registry for the Authorization process, which needs to be approved within 7 days. The Registry provides an additional grace period of 7 days for approval, in case the approvals were not received within the initial 7 day period. The authorization can also be provided through a fax to the Registry, from both the Current as well as the New Registrant Contact. Templates of the confirmation fax are provided below:

Current Registrant confirmation fax >>
New Registrant confirmation fax >>

The request is processed once the Registry receives approval from both the Current and the New Registrant.
