.AU : Validation of Natural Persons
This article contains a detailed procedure about how to perform validation of Natural Persons via AuDA.
With the launch of second-level.AU domains on March 24, 2022, private persons will be able to register whatever domain they choose under the.AU name.
Before submitting an application to the Registry systems, AuDA requires all Registrars to check the details of anybody registering for a.au domain "using Reliable and Independent Electronic Data or genuine identity papers."
This form of validation is already included into the usual registration procedure for Australian firms, utilizing the ABN/ACN numbers supplied in the domain registration.
We will need to validate the applicant's data before submitting their orders to the Registry because 2nd level.au domains are available to Natural Persons as well.
Unlike ABN/ACN numbers lookups, these checks are not free.
Important things to keep in mind
This verification is based on the customer's residential address and a supported form of identification, which will be confirmed against worldwide databases (Equifax) and the Australian government's Document Verification Service.
Resellers must accept the Appendix for the AU Verification service provided in the Openprovider RCP in order to use this service.
Resellers should pay special attention to the fact that each customer's voluntary and informed agreement to verify their personal information must be sought (and appropriately tracked). The consent can be documented on paper or electronically (for example, as a checkbox in the order flow), and verification of this consent must be supplied by the Reseller upon our request.
After submitting the request, resellers should preserve a copy of the Customer's permission for 6 months.
Regardless of whether the verification is successful or not, all verification requests are a charged operation:
Before submitting the information gathered, resellers should double-check them and confirm with the consumer that they are correct.
Each successful verification has a six-month validity period.
During the validity term, a validated contact can be used for an infinite number of registrations, owner changes, and renewals.
The purpose for this restriction is that when a domain is renewed, AuDA requires the Registrar to re-verify the Registrant data; the restriction is in place to prevent the same verification from being used to register and then renew the same domain.
For the same reason, we highly advise Resellers to urge Registrants to register their .au domains for the maximum permissible time to avoid having to repeat the verification process every year when the name is up for renewal.
It is possible to double-check the same information.
Each verification will be handled separately and paid as such.
This is primarily to allow Resellers to re-verify an existing contact and update its "validated till" date before the original date has elapsed.
How to use it
A validated contact is required to process the following types of .AU operations:
Registration
Trade (Owner change)
Renewal
Our system will check the Contact Handle used as Registrant and confirm its verification status. If the Handle is not validated, or the verification has expired, the order will fail.
Please note that only the Registrant handle needs to be validated.
Resellers can verify existing Contact Handles or create a new one as part of the verification process. This operation can be performed through the API or using the Openprovider RCP.
Supported document types
Australian Citizenship
Australian Citizenship by Descent
Australian Driver's License
Expired license cannot be verified.
WA extraordinary license cannot be verified.
Apostrophes can be used but inverted commas will result in verifications failing.
Middle name, if supplied, is not sent for verification.
Card Number, if supplied, is sent for verification.
Australian Passport
The following types of Australian travel documents can be verified;
Passport (including Ordinary, Frequent traveler, Diplomatic, Official and Emergency).
Provisional travel documents cannot be verified.
Australian Visa
Australian Birth Certificate
The following birth certificates can be verified;
ACT where the certificate was issued after 01/01/1930 or those where data has been electronically captured
NSW where the birth occurred after 01/01/1914 or those that have otherwise been electronically captured
NT birth certificates, including Aboriginal Population Record certificates, where the certificate was issued after
01/01/1870 or those that have otherwise been electronically captured
QLD where the birth was registered after 01/01/1941
SA where the certificate was issued after 01/01/1944 or those that have otherwise been electronically captured
TAS where the certificate was issued after 01/01/1970
VIC birth certificates issued after 01/01/1929 or those that have otherwise been electronically captured
WA where the certificate was issued on or after 01/01/1841.
The following birth certificates cannot be verified;
NSW birth records occurring prior to 1952 that contain a district number only
WA birth certificates issued in the Cocos Islands prior to 1955
WA birth certificates issued by/in Christmas Island prior to 1 July 1993.
Ensuring a successful address validation
To avoid failed validation requests, Resellers should check that the address supplied is the Registrant's current Residential address (e.g., the one that shows on utility bills) and that all names and addresses are spelt correctly.
The following sources are used to populate the database. As long as the address provided matches the one listed in one of these services, the check should pass without problems:
Electoral Roll (Historical)
Credit Bureau Commercial
Credit Bureau Public Record
National Tenancy Database
Equifax Phone Directory
Phone Directory
Please keep in mind that the address check is not a credit check. To match the Name & Address against the file, just the Credit Header is verified.
In the event that automatic address validation fails, Resellers can contact support and show verification that the address indicated in the validation request is a 1:1 match to the Customer's residential address. A copy of a utility bill or other document validating the address must be submitted, and the address mentioned on it must match the address provided in the Validation request exactly.
.CN Domains : New Verification Procedure
This article covers the detailed process of the new verification procedure introduced by the Registry of .CN Domains (China Internet Network Information Center) or CNNIC.
What is this ?
The .CN Registry announced that starting from August 1st 2022, CNNIC will perform random audits for the Real-Name Verification (RNV) for all registered domains. Non-passing domain names will be set to ‘serverHold’ status until they pass the verification.
Kindly note the unpassed RNV domains will not be renewed and will eventually be deleted once the renewal grace period ends, hence we urge our resellers to inform the registrants about this.
As the verification process takes time, we ask you to submit the required documents ASAP
How can I perform the verification of my domain ?
Please find and review the instructions for accepted document formats in the Registration Section Knowledge Base for .cn (https://openprovider.help/books/domains/page/cn).
TIP: We suggest resellers to share this information with domain owners. They themselves can validate their domains and upload the necessary documents.
STEPS TO PERFORM RNV:
1. Go to https://verification.centralnicgroup.com, select the property "CN - Proof of Identification Upload Form"
2. Fill all the details correctly in all the respective fields, please also fill the domain names correctly.
TIP about the email address: the process is normally expected by the owner but it depends completely on the speed of the process of the validation. If the registry asks for more information to the owner, he may be slow to communicate it to the reseller. But if the email is of the reseller, he can directly ask the owner for more clarification.
3. Please select the correct type of ID Proof you wish to upload.
Upload the ID Proof and click "Submit"
New registrations will continue to proceed as before, requiring the owner's contact handle to be pre-verified in this way described.
What should I do if my domain is put on "serverHold" by the registry ?
You can contact our Support Team (support@openprovider.com) with the documentation and please mention the domain name clearly so if would be efficient for us to communicate the same with our partner.
Kindly note the unpassed RNV domains will not be renewed and will eventually be deleted once the renewal grace period ends, please fix the registrant ID before then.

.at
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .at domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
the domain's contact handles
- Contact full name is mandatory (only 1 letter as firstname will not be accepted)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Important Note:
The registry can start a registrant verification. If the registry has reasons to believe the details are not valid, they will contact the registrant, with further instructions. (This is not communicated to the registrar/reseller). If the registrant fails to verify his details or does not respond, the registry will revoke the domain. In those cases, a domain can not be restored, reactivated and can not be refunded.
New NIS2 and compliance changes for .AT
We would like to inform you about upcoming changes introduced by nic.at in relation to the EU NIS2 requirements for .AT domains. These changes are effective October 1, 2026.
Phone Number: A valid phone number will be mandatory for all new .AT registrant handles. Please ensure that a valid phone number is provided when creating or updating .AT registrant contacts.
Fax Number: Fax numbers will no longer be supported for .AT.
Registry-Initiated Holder Verification: nic.at will use a risk-based approach to identify potentially inaccurate or incomplete holder data. This does not mean that every .AT contact will need to be verified. When nic.at selects a domain or handle for verification, Openprovider will notify you with the relevant details and the verification deadline. What you, as the reseller, need to do:
Contact your customer and verify that the holder information is accurate and complete. For individuals, this may include verifying an ID/passport and proof of address. For organizations, this may include verifying a company register extract or equivalent official documentation. Provide the required verification result and supporting documentation to Openprovider. The verification must be completed within 21 days of the Registry's verification request.
Important: Consequences of Failed or Missing Verification:
If the verification is not completed within the required timeframe, nic.at may place the affected domain on serverHold, which will deactivate its DNS.
If the issue remains unresolved, the domain may subsequently be cancelled by the Registry.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorisation code
the domain's contact handles
- Registrant's full name is mandatory (only 1 letter as firstname will not be accepted)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
email sent by the .at Registry to the owner has to be confirmed in order to finish the transfer.
Additional notes on a .at transfer
The authorisation code is valid for 21 days.
Email confirmation is not required for transfers done using a valid authcode.
Using an invalid authorisation code will present the error:
"No open confirmation-process of the domain [domainname.at] to the registrar [648] found."
Please reset the code at your current provider.
In case the current provider cannot or does not provide the authorization code, please contact us. We might be able to request the code through the registry directly. A fee of € 25,- will be charged. Please check the e-mail address of the domain holder in the whois is correct before contacting us, as the registry will send the code to that address.

Deletion / Restore
Delete
There are two ways of removing a .at domain from Openprovider:
Explicitly delete
It requires written confirmation from the domain owner. The deletion form can easily be created at the registry's website and is for your own administration only.
A delete should be done at most 24 days before the domain's renewal date.
"Withdrawing"
Gives the domain back to the registry. The contractual relationship is now between registry (NIC AT) and domain owner. NIC AT will send a renewal invoice to the domain owner. If the end user wants to delete the domain, he should send a signed form to NIC AT.
Once the domain has been given back to the Registry, Openprovider no longer manages the domain and can not assist in deleting the domain after this point. This must be done by the registrant via the form, sent directly to the registry.
Restore / reactivate
restore / reactivation supported via RCP or API only in case of explicit delete.

.au (Second Level Domain)
This article explains the process of registering a SLD .au domain.
*In this article : AuDA refers to the registry of the Australian domains.
Requirements:
Registration of domains directly under .au will be available to any business or individual that fulfills the Australian Presence requirements (see https://www.auda.org.au/policy/au-domain-administration-rules-licensing and https://www.auda.org.au/policy/au-domain-administration-rules-au-namespace-implementation for details).
There are no restrictions or conditions on the string that can be applied for registration under.au (i.e., unlike com.au, there is no necessity for the string to match a corporate name or a trademark*).
* PLEASE NOTE:
The domain applied for must match the Trademark only if the applicant is not situated in Australia and uses an Australian Trademark to establish their Australian Presence.
Availability checks for second level .AU domains:
Unfortunately, the.AU Registry Operator only plans to conduct availability checks on 2nd level.AU domains that are accessible on the launch date (March 24, 2022 at 2am UTC). This means that we won't be able to provide reliable results for.AU availability checks until then.
General Availability applications
From March 24th, 2022, any string that is not already registered under one of the existing .au 3rd level extensions or is otherwise reserved by the Registry will be accessible for registration on a first-come, first-served basis.
Any applicant who meets the Australian presence criterion can place a preorder for any .au string that is available. Following that, these orders will be submitted to the Registry in the order in which they were received on Launch Day.
Validation of Natural Persons applying to register a .AU domain name
Before submitting an application to the Registry, we are obligated to check the details of anyone applying for a .au domain.
This form of validation is already included into the usual registration procedure for 3rd level extensions like com.au that are restricted to Australian businesses, utilizing the ABN/ACN numbers supplied in the domain registration command.
We will need to validate the applicant's data before submitting their orders to the Registry because 2nd level.au domains are available to Natural Persons as well.
More details on this validation service is available here : .AU : Validation of Natural Persons
Please keep in mind that Resellers can place pre-orders on behalf of Natural Persons and then complete the Contact Handle validation once the new validation service is ready (but no later than Mar 23, 2022, to allow enough time for us to prepare the submission of the registration order).

If you resell .bank domains to your customers, two-factor authentication is required.
Domain fees for requests that could not be validated will be refunded only partially.

.be
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .be domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant data needs to be real and valid. Fake data may lead to suspension by the registry.
DNS Belgium Registry will use the following regular expressions to validate the registrant's postal code and phone number before registration.
Postal code must have the correct syntax for the countrycode of the registrant. For a country without postal codes, you are allowed to use ‘0000’ or ‘00000’. For instance, Kosovo(XK) postal codes will be standardized to five digits (as per the update from registry). Until then, '0000' can be used instead.
The length of the phone number must be correct for the phone prefix.
The regular expression for the validation can be found here.
Contact verification
From 1st March 2022, DNSbelgium has implemented a new contact verification process, please find more information about it in this article : New DNSbelgium Registrant Verification Process
The status "Not verified" means that the domain name is not selected for verification and it has no impact on the domain name. In other words, the domain name will be active directly.
The status "Pending" means the domain is selected for verification and you will receive an email from the registry.
In case the verification fails due to an incorrect name, create a new handle with the correct details and start a TRADE to update the domain. Adjusting the name in the handle itself or attaching a different handle during the validation proces is not supported.
In case the registrant is unable to locate the email from the BE registry or deleted it by accident, the registrant can contact the registry directly via verification@dnsbelgium.be
In some special cases, the registry will automatically start a contact verification process. This happens for registration requests that might be suspicious (based on multiple parameters). The domain name will not resolved while a verification process is active. The domain registrant and reseller are informed as well about this process. As soon as the registrant proves his or her identity to DNS Belgium, the domain will be unsuspended.
If the data is not updated within 14 days, the domain will get deleted, transferred to the .BE Registry itself and can not be updated or restored via the control panel anymore.
A restore from quarantaine is possible, but comes with extra costs.
INFO: The Belgian registry (BE) has introduced a new feature on their website that allows domain owners to request a new verification email.
Users can update the contact handle in RCP and then use this link from the registry to start a new validation email.
Whois information
Starting from June, 2023 the .be registry will no longer display a phone number with the WHOIS details, even if the domain name holder is an organization or a company. This is to comply with GDPR regulations.
A search in the public WHOIS (via web, command line or RDAP) shows the following data:
- Nothing if it is a private person - organization field is not filled in
- The address if it is a legal entity (organization, company) - organization field is filled in
Notes:
Starting from January 15, 2024 all .BE domain names will have 1 day renewal offset. This won't be applied to existing domains that expire before March 15th, 2024.
During registration process, .be will send a verification email to the domain owner. This email can be resend only once, if the owner fails to complete verification.
Registrar or Domain name holder can request the email verification again from: https://www.dnsbelgium.be/en/registrant-verification.
Revoke Procedure (NIS2 Compliance):
In line with the NIS2 legislation, specifically Article 94, paragraph 2, DNS Belgium has implemented important changes to how domain names in the revoke procedure are managed.
Key Restriction: Transfers Prohibited
As of now, domain names selected for the revoke procedure cannot be transferred:
External transfers (to another registrar) – not allowed
Internal transfers (within your own registrar system) – not allowed
This restriction is mandatory and applies to ensure compliance with the NIS2 regulation.
What is Still Possible?
Updating contact details: Updates (such as postal address or e-mail address) can still be made via a standard contact update.
Name or Organization Changes: Previously, changes to the name or organization of a domain holder during the revoke procedure required manual intervention from DNS Belgium. However, they can now be carried out via a standard update.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
an authorization code provided by:
in case of external transfer - the .be registry > www.dnsbelgium.be
in case of internal transfer* - the current Openprovider reseller (Internal transfers can be done using the external transfer code as well).
The authorization code provided by the registry is valid for 7 days.
A valid EXTERNAL authorization code has 5 blocks of 3 characters, for example 123-345-678-901-234
Internal Transfer
*Notification is shown in RCP when internal transfer applies.
Follow these internal transfer steps. An internal code can only be generated by the reseller who manages the domain. This can not be generated in an openprovider account where the domain is not managed. Internal transfers can be done using the external transfer code as well.
The registrant can NOT be changed during an internal transfer (unlike an external transfer, where this is supported)
This can only be done once the internal transfer is finished, via the "Trade" option which you can find in your control panel here: https://cp.openprovider.eu/domain/trade1.php
A Trade requires a valid transfercode from the BE registry.
Please see section Update for more information about trades.
Note: If you get the error message "An unknown error has occurred!" when trying to perform an internal transfer, please check and make sure that the domain has nameservers/NS groups assigned to it before the transfer.
Additional notes on a .be transfer
Transfer from quarantine is possible from RCP, additional costs apply.
In the rare case that a .be registrar stops its business, its domains will be transferred to a special registrar account of DNS Belgium. Transfers from this account will not restart their registration period; instead, the expiration date will remain unchanged.
A bulk transfer is possible, more information can be found here.

.co.za
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .co.za domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Registration of a .co.za is realtime. If the nameservers are not configured correctly for the domain, the domain will be registered without nameservers. You can re-assign the nameservers to the domain by sending a domain update.
Note: The expiration date in whois may not match with the renewal date in Openprovider. Domain is renewed per year at the registry. This means that if a domain is renewed for multiple years, the whoIs might not reflect this. Keep in mind that the domain will expire the date we show.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
At initiation of the transfer, the registry sends an e-mail to the registrant and to the current registrar of the domain. Action is required:
If the registrant approves the transfer, the transfer finishes immediately.
If the current registrar approves the transfer, the transfer will finish after 5 days (even if the registrant rejects the transfer).
If none of the parties approves the transfer, the transfer will fail after 5 days.
The registration period after a successful transfer will remain unchanged.
Additional notes on a .co.za transfer
After the transfer finishes, Openprovider sends new domain data to the registry. The update of the registrant may take 5 days; the registrant will receive an e-mail with an update notification.
Authorization code required

Update
Owner change (trade)
An owner change is done via a normal domain update. Rather than a normal update, the registry starts a 5-days "pending period" after the owner change has been requested. At the start of this period, the current holder receives a notification e-mail. At the end of the period, the new holder receives a notification e-mail. During those five days, no other update can be done to the domain name. It is not required to respond to the e-mails of the registry: the change will automatically be applied.
Other update
An update is performed realtime, unless the registrant changes as well.
If you want to combine a nameserver update with an owner change, first change the nameservers (realtime) and in a second update change the domain owner (which starts a 5-days pending update period). The domain owner receives a notification e-mail.
Nameserver update: Nameservers must be configured and return an authoritative answer (resolving) before you update the domain towards the new nameservers. If the zone is not found on the new nameserver or not resolving, the registry will reject the update.

Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:

registrant e-mail address verification applies
Tip: Did you know that registry Verisign also offers the following internationalized variants of .com?
.コム (Japanese)
.קוֹם (Hebrew)
.닷컴 (Korean)
Important: As a rule, Verisign’s registries reject the commingling of code points from different Unicode scripts. That is, if an IDN contains code points from two or more Unicode scripts, then that IDN registration is rejected. For example, a character from the Latin script cannot be used in the same IDN label with any Cyrillic character. All code points within an IDN label must come from the same Unicode script. This is done to prevent confusable code points of different scripts from appearing in the same IDN. Please refer to the Verisign IDN policy (3. Restrictions on Commingling of Scripts) for more information.

Refer to the link for more information about ABN and ACN.
Transfer

To remain eligible for a domain name the registrant should change the basis on which it meets the Australian presence requirement.
Companies can now apply for and hold .au domain name licences on behalf of another company in their corporate group (a ‘related body corporate’), as long as that related company meets the Australian presence requirement.

This article describes the procedures and requirements of .com.br domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
The Billing-Contact as well as the Owner-Contact need a local presence in Brazil. Therefore you can use our trustee service or provide us with your Brazilian register number (for the owner contact) and a Brazilian contact handle (for the billing contact).
Trustee service applied automatically, if domain owner contact isn't located in Brazil.
The registrant must be over 18 years old.
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
If domain is being registered without trustee service:
Valid CPF number (Social security number) for private owner contact (CPF must be given in the following format: NNN.NNN.NNN-NN)
Valid CNPJ number (VAT number) for company owner contact (CNPJ must be given in the following format: NN.NNN.NNN/NNNN-NN)
Preconfigured DNS zone with at least 1 valid A-record. Zone can be verified via registry's DNS checker
NB: for registered domain names, their variations with additional ASCII characters are not possible. i.e. if domainname.com.br is registered, domain-name.com.br can't be registered. Such variations can be registered by the original domain owner only.
NOTE: A CPF/CNPJ can only be bound to one service provider (vendor) at Registro.br at a time. If it's already used to register .br domains via another provider/registrar, then registration through Openprovider fails. This is a rule from the registry, Registro.br.
In case of a Brazilian contact the two letter state value is mandatory:
Acre - AC
Alagoas - AL
Amapá - AP
Amazonas - AM
Bahia - BA
Ceará - CE

Registration agreement
The registry requires that a registration agreement is in place between the provider and the domain holder. The text of this registration agreement and any required supplements is the following:
General registration agreement
Due to the regular changes in registry rules and configuration or missing information from registry side, and despite our effort to keep our knowledge base up-to-date, information in the knowledge base may be outdated or incorrect. If you encounter some issue, please report it through the "HotJar" feedback collector on the bottom right, or (if it is blocked by your browser) by clicking the "Submit a request" link below. No rights can be derived from the information in this knowledge base. If there is discrepancy between the knowledge base and the process in Openprovider, the process in Openprovider is leading.
.com.cn
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .com.cn domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
All used handles must have the following details filled in:
For private individual
Passport number
The name of the individual must be entered in full and not initials.
Eg. "Charles Smith", the registry will not accept "C. Smith" or "Charles S."
The whole name must be clearly visible.
For companies
Company registration number
A scan or photocopy of their business license / business certificate or an excerpt from the commercial register.
The Contact ID (Handle) needs to provide a contact name for the responsible person in the company/organization.
A copy of passport or ID is required.
CNNIC is accepting passports or personal ID cards and must be provided in JPEG format (Driver’s licence is NOT acceptable).
The Chinese Registry CNNIC has been enforcing the Real-Name Verification (RNV) regulation for .CN and .中国 (.xn--fiqs8s) domains since 2022. More information about how can you perform this RNV is documented at https://support.openprovider.eu/hc/en-us/articles/6817552932498
The RNV process requires a real name of an individual person to be provided in the Owner Contact. In addition, a proof of identification (e.g. passport, ID card) is needed to register / transfer / trade a .CN or .中国 domain.
The following problem occurs: If the registrant is foreign (so not Chinese) and the name contains special non-English characters, CNNIC cannot process auditing the passport and registration / transfer / trade cannot be completed.
The solution is to provide a registrant name without special characters. If the registrant is a company, the domain may be registered to another person of the company who does not have special characters in the name and is willing to submit a verification document to CNNIC.
Please note: We refer here to the full name as it appears on the verification document such as the passport.
Examples for special characters that lead to problems:
German umlauts such as ä, ü, ö;
Spanish / French letters with accents such as é and other characters not found in the English language.
Additional Info:
For Chinese Registrants, if the domains are using websites, an ICP licence is required. - For ICP issues, we should contact responsible dept. of MIIT. (Website: http://www.miitbeian.gov.cn Tel:86-10-66411166)
For registrants from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, the acceptable document/certificate include: Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents , Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents , Residence Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents , Residence Permit for Taiwan Residents , Permanent Residence Identity Card for Foreigners.
Transfer

.cz
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .cz domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Note: Registry could initiate a contact verification for some registrants.
Verification Process Overview
The process begins when CZ.NIC's internal checks or an external stimulus raise doubts about the data accuracy. Common reasons for a check include providing false or misleading details, such as:
- Using only a pseudonym, initials, or a clearly non-existent name (e.g., "Superhero," "Dr. House")
- Listing an address that is non-existent or conflicts with public records
The Procedure and Timeline
Request to verify details sent: The Contact receives the request to verify contact details via the registered email. The administrative contact is also notified.
Verification Action: The Contact must log into the Verification Portal and choose a method to verify their details.
Deadline and Communication: The verification process typically takes up to 45 days, though CZ.NIC can extend the deadline. Status updates are sent throughout the process.
Consequences of Failure: If verification fails, the domain's Delegation is cancelled (removed from the zone). This state lasts for approximately one month, after which the registration is permanently cancelled. When the contact fails to verify, it is automatically set to the state "serverLinkProhibited - Contact linking forbidden" so the contact cannot be linked to any object (domains, nameservers etc..). If domains are transferred to another contact during the verification process, a new verification is initiated on the new contact.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
A transfer is realtime. The registration period after a successful transfer will not change.
Additional notes on a .cz transfer
If the current registrar cannot or does not want to provide you with the authorization code of the domain name, you can also request this directly via the .CZ Registry website: https://www.nic.cz/whois/send-password/ .

External authorization code delivery - sent by the .cz registry to the registrant, and if sending to a different email address is requested, the authorization of the person confirming the request is verified (via registry).
External authorization code reset - via RCP (Reseller Control Panel), or XML API or REST API
Authorization code validity - The validity of the transfer password (AuthInfo) is limited in time as per the registry.
Update
Owner change (trade)
Trade - via RCP or API, by updating the owner handle. Process is real-time
Other update
Domain updates - via RCP or API. Processed real-time
Due to automatic cleanup processes of the Czech registry, sometimes a domain contact received an e-mail with subject "Oznámení o zrušení sady nameserverů ... / Notification of NS set ... deletion" or about the "Cancellation of the contact" which is not in use.
Such e-mail does not impact domain availability and can be ignored.

.de
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .de domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
the domain's contact handles (owner *1, administrative, etc.)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
the zone needs to be already configured before you register the domain *2
*1- While at the moment of registration the holder is not required to be domiciled in Germany, the domain holder must name a person in Germany as responsible for receiving the service of official or court documents in case a legal case is issued to DENIC about a domain with a holder who is not domiciled in Germany. If you do not have a German address, you may use our trustee service. The trustee service can be selected during the ordering process by checking the box for using our local address.
NOTE: Go through this article to read about .de domain risk assessment and identity verification process.
*2 - Nameservers must be configured according to registry requirements and return an authoritative answer before the domain is requested in order to get the domain resolving. If the zone was not correctly created before the registration, make sure the zone is correct, wait 15 minutes and sync the domain via your control panel. Nameserver IPs should be unique. No two nameservers can have the same IP address (one nameserver differs completely from another by using different IPv4 and IPv6 addresses).
When a domain is registered or transferred the registry checks if the nameservers that you want to use for the domain are already configured. If they are not well configured the registry will not allow you to use of them for this domain.
** IMPORTANT : This means that the zone for the domain must be configured before you register or transfer the domain. Make sure that the zone contains at least 1 A-record and that you use 2 nameservers or more, this is a requirement of the registry.
If you notice after the registration that the domain does not resolve, you can preform a DNS-check here: https://www.denic.de/en/service/tools/nast/
If this DNS check gives a red message, please check the configurations of your zone and try it again. (Error descriptions can be found here)
If this DNS check gives a green message, your zone is now correctly configured and you can manually update the domain again.
How to update your domain? This is described here.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
This transfer is real time and requires the following information:
an authorisation code that you need to request at your current provider. The code is valid for a period of 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the current registrar's settings.
the domain's contact handles
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
the zone needs to be already configured and resolving before you transfer the domain. Nameserver IPs should be unique. No two nameservers can have the same IP address (one nameserver differs completely from another by using different IPv4 and IPv6 addresses).
In case the nameserver is not updated after the transfer, the .de registry did not accept the new zone (yet). For explanation how to solve this, see section "Registration" above.
Several reasons why a zone is not accepted: Nameserver update failure descriptions
NOTE: Go through this article to read about .de domain risk assessment and identity verification process.
Additional notes on a .de transfer
If current registrar refuses to supply authcode - request assistance from Openprovider support. Authcode is sent by the registry via postal mail. Additional costs apply
Domain owner is not notified of successful domain transfer
Domains currently in hard quarantine can be transferred - authInfo2 required
- From the 25th of May, 2018, a local presence is no longer required for .de domains. In case the current registrar refuses to provide the authorization code because the domain is using their local presence, ask them to update the domain information and remove their local presence.
- Error: "AuthInfo does not match" - This is shown in case transfercode is not correct. A new code should resolve the problem.
- NB: error message after successful transfer indicates that nameservers are not updated. Nameserver update failure descriptions

In case the domicile (local presence) is not disabled, the control panel will provide you with an internal transfer code, which can not be used for external transfers.
The domicile (local presence) can be deactivated on the detail page of the domain name. Click "edit" on the details page to view the setting and have the option to deactivate.
Update
Owner change (trade)
Trade - via RCP or XML API or REST API, by updating the owner handle
Confirmation - via email to losing and gaining domain owners
Other update
Domain updates - via RCP or XML API or REST API. Nameserver update takes up to 2 hours
NB: if errors encountered during update, refer to the article
NOTE: Go through this article to read about .de domain risk assessment and identity verification process.
Deletion / Restore
Delete
Delete - via RCP or XML API or REST API.
Options:
Delete immediately - puts domain hard quarantine for 28 days. If not restored within this period, domain is deleted
Give the domain back to the registry - domain is deleted in Openprovider, but stays active in the registry. DENIC becomes domain owner's supplier, sends login details to DENIC's TRANSIT system to owner via postal mail. From this point on, domain deletion possible only by written request of domain owner
Restore / reactivate
Restore - via RCP or XML API or REST API within 29 days after delete
If domain is in TRANSIT - restore possible by requesting a transfer. Authcode must be requested by domain owner from registry directly via TRANSIT
NB: if domain owner lost login details to TRANSIT, password reset can be requested via application form

.de - extended information
Preparing for transfer - Trustee required to receive auth-code
Since the 25th of May 2018, .de has no local presence requirement anymore. However, there may still be registrars that have it enabled, and for that reason refuse to provide an authcode. The customer can tell those registrars to remove the local presence service from the domain - that should be possible without additional costs.
German address for legal purposes
If the domain holder is not domiciled in Germany and a legal case is issued to DENIC about this domain, the domain holder must name a person in Germany as responsible for receiving the service of official or court documents.
If a customer asks for it, first ensure that the local presence service is turned on for this domain. (This is the reason that we still offer trustee services!). If so, provide the following address:

If the Domain Holder is not domiciled in Germany, the administrative contact is the person authorized to accept service for the purposes of § 184 of the German Code of Civil Procedure (Zivilprozessordnung), § 132 of the German Code of Criminal Procedure (Strafprozessordnung), § 56 (3) of the Rules of the Administrative Courts (Verwaltungsgerichtsordnung) and § 15 of the Administrative Procedures Act (Verwaltungsverfahrensgesetz) and the corresponding provisions of the Administrative Procedures Acts of the respective states of the Federal Republic of Germany; in that case, the administrative contact must be domiciled in Germany and their full postal address must be supplied.
Denic Guidelines
Preparing for transfer - No authcode present
If the current registrar is unable or unwilling to provide the authorization code of a domain, Openprovider can ask registry DENIC to send a special authorization code (called AuthInfo2) to the domain holder.
Please provide our Support department with all details of the domain(s) and we will initiate this for you. The price per AuthInfo2 code is €25,00 excluding VAT. Note that an AuthInfo2 code is valid for only 30 days.
Finishing transfer - Contacts/Nameservers not updated
After transferring a .de name, the details you entered will be applied to the .de domain name.
DENIC (.de) does a nameserver check before changes are applied. If the nameservers do not get through the check, there will be no changes to the domain name. The transfer is successful, but whois is not updated.
How to fix this
Check your nameservers on: https://cp.openprovider.eu/dns/check.php
There should be no fatal errors. If there are: fix those and try again
When there are no fatal errors (anymore) save the domain name data again on the domain name details page. This way an update of information is forced to the .de-registry
Domain cancelled - Invoice received by registrant
When you cancel a .de domain name at Openprovider, the domain name holder might receive an invoice from DENIC directly.
Officially the domain name holder needs to cancel the domain name by writing to DENIC, otherwise DENIC takes over the domain name after a cancellation-request from Openprovider. You can see this status as quarantine.
The domain name holder has the possibility to transfer the domain name from DENIC to a registrar of choice:
https://direct.secure.denic.de/en/direct-forms/
There is no payment obligation to DENIC in this status if the customer does not want the domain name anymore. After a while the domain name will be canceled.
More info on this status can be found on:
https://www.denic.de/en/faqs/faqs-about-transit/

.dk
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .dk domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP, XML API, or REST API requires:
Valid tax number (for individuals) and VAT number (for companies) in the domain owner/ registrant and admin contact handles
Domain nameservers must be registered with the DK registry before use
Domain activation within 4 days of successful registration (see Activation below)
Successful ID validation by the registry
Registration period
From 1 July 2026, .dk domains can only be registered for 1 year at a time. Multi-year registrations are no longer available.
Activation
After registration, the DK registry emails the domain owner/ registrant a user ID and password with instructions to complete a data control, and in some cases an ID control, via the Punktum DK self-service portal. If the domain owner/ registrant has previously completed a successful ID and data check, the domain activates immediately.
This applies to both registrar-managed and registrant-managed domains. Openprovider cannot assist with activation except in one case: for foreign companies or individuals required to submit ID documentation, Openprovider can submit this on their behalf.
Important:
The domain owner/ registrant has 30 days to complete the ID and data control. Failure results in a 30-day suspension, followed by deletion on day 31.
For rejected documentation: domain is suspended on the day of rejection with 30 days to resubmit.
If an invalid email is supplied in the domain owner/ registrant handle, activation is not possible until the activation period expires.
Deleted domains can be re-registered by anyone. Openprovider does not refund registration fees for deleted domains.
Contact handles
From 1 July 2026, new .dk domains are registered under the registrar model only. The registry only accepts the domain owner/ registrant contact handle for registrar-managed domains. If additional handles (admin, tech, billing) are submitted in the registration request, Openprovider will pass only the domain owner/ registrant handle to the registry. No changes to your registration workflow are required.
Nameservers
Openprovider nameservers (ns1.openprovider.nl, ns2.openprovider.be, ns3.openprovider.eu) are already registered with Punktum DK and can be used without any additional steps.
If you wish to use custom nameservers, these must be registered with the DK registry before use.
Under the registrar model, the technical handle nameserver manager appointment is no longer required.
ID validation
Documents must be submitted in English or Danish. Documents in other languages must be accompanied by a certified translation.
For companies, the document must include the company name and address.
If ID validation fails, the domain will be deactivated and deleted after 1 month. The registry does not issue refunds in this case.
dk_acceptance parameter (required from January 2025)
All .dk registrations must include domain owner/ registrant acceptance of terms:
REST API: include dk_acceptance: 1 in the additional_data object of the createDomain request
XML API: include dkAcceptance: 1 in the same object
Your frontend must display a mandatory checkbox for the domain owner/ registrant to accept Terms and Conditions before submitting
Registrations without these parameters will fail.
Important: The Registry has provided specific guidelines and an ideal implementation model for your reference:
[Requirements, refer to Method 1 (Flow 1) and How to - Method 1]
[Ideal Implementation Model]
NIS2 identity verification (effective July 2025)
Verification is required at registration only — not ongoing
Either email address or phone number must be validated — one is sufficient
One-time verification applies if the domain/ owner registrant holds multiple domains
72-hour exception: domains may be activated before verification for up to 72 hours, after which they must be verified or will be suspended
WHOIS visibility for companies (effective July 2025)
The following fields are publicly visible in WHOIS for company registrants:
Company name and address
Phone number (unless marked private)
Email address (must not contain personal data)
Transfer
Registrant-managed domains
Transfers can be initiated via RCP, XML API, or REST API. No auth-code is required. By submitting the transfer request, Openprovider is automatically assigned as the payer (billing contact handle) for the domain. The transfer completes in real time.
Important: Selecting Openprovider as payer (billing contact handle) manually in the Punktum DK self-service portal does not trigger a transfer. It must be initiated from the Openprovider RCP or API.
After transfer, domain owner/ registrant and other contact details will not be updated automatically. Nameservers will not be updated. Any updates to domain details must be initiated via the Punktum DK self-service portal. See the Update section for details.
You can check the current status of a domain or its nameservers here: punktum.dk/en/search-dk-domain
Registrar-managed domains
Transfer IN for domains currently under registrar management at another registrar is not yet supported. Auth-code transfer support is in development and expected by end of November 2026. We will update this section when available.
If you attempt to transfer such a domain, you will receive the following error:
"Specifying contacts for registrar managed domains is not allowed"
This means the domain is currently registrar-managed elsewhere. You may wait for auth-code transfer support to be available.
Error handling
Error code 399 — "No privilege"
This typically indicates the domain is registrant-managed and has outstanding unpaid invoice(s) at the registry. The domain owner/ registrant must log in to the Punktum DK self-service portal, pay the invoice, and then the transfer can be initiated. If the issue persists after payment, please contact our support team
Additional notes on a .dk transfer
Registrant removes Openprovider as payer (registrant-managed domains only)
Domain owners/ Registrants have the option to remove Openprovider as payer (billing contact handle) via the Punktum DK self-service portal. As Openprovider does not receive real-time notifications from the registry, the domain may continue to show as active in your control panel after this change.
To resolve: remove the domain from your control panel and initiate a new transfer. Openprovider will automatically be reassigned as payer (billing contact handle).
Transfer after expiry
If a transfer is completed after the domain has expired at the previous registrar, auto-renewal will be enabled automatically for the domain regardless of your account settings. You can change this from the domain detail page.

Outgoing transfer
Registrant-managed domains
Openprovider cannot provide auth-codes for outgoing transfers of registrant-managed .dk domains. The gaining registrar can initiate the transfer without an auth-code and will automatically be assigned the payer role (billing contact handle) for the domain.
As Openprovider will not receive real-time notifications from the DK registry, a transferred-out domain may continue to appear as active in your control panel temporarily. No action is required — the system will update when the registry processes the change.
Registrar-managed domains
Auth-code generation for outgoing transfers of registrar-managed .dk domains is expected by the end of November 2026. Once live, resellers will be able to generate an auth-code directly from the domain detail page and provide it to the gaining registrar to initiate the transfer.
Update
Owner change (trade)
Domain owner/ Registrant change (TRADE)
For registrant-managed domains, TRADE must be requested through the Punktum DK self-service portal. Detailed instructions can be found here.
For registrar-managed domains, TRADE support is currently under review. We will update this section when available.
Note: Domain owner/ registrant name, company name, and VAT number updates are considered a TRADE operation.
Other update
Registrar-managed domains
Nameserver updates can be initiated directly through Openprovider via RCP or API. No action at the registry portal is required.
Note: Custom nameservers must be registered with the DK registry before use. Openprovider nameservers (ns1.openprovider.nl, ns2.openprovider.be, ns3.openprovider.eu) are already registered and can be used without any additional steps.
Registrant-managed domains
Openprovider cannot update nameservers for registrant-managed domains. Updates must be initiated directly by the domain owner/ registrant or nameserver administrator:
Via the domain owner/ registrant: Log in to the Punktum DK self-service portal and navigate to https://self-service.punktum.dk/domain/DOMAIN.DK/change_name_server — replace DOMAIN.DK with the relevant domain name. Note that a new DNS zone must be configured on the new nameserver before making this change.
Via the nameserver administrator: Contact your nameserver administrator to initiate a pull request for the nameserver update.
Contact updates
Registrar-managed domains
Email address, phone number, and postal address can be updated through Openprovider via RCP or API.
Registrant-managed domains
Contact handle updates must be made by the domain owner/ registrant directly via the Punktum DK self-service portal. Domain owners/ Registrants can log in using MitID, user ID, or email.
Deletion / Restore
Delete
Registrant-managed domains
Deletion must be requested by the domain owner/ registrant or admin contact directly via the Punktum DK self-service portal.
Openprovider cannot delete registrant-managed .dk domains.
Important: Removing a domain from your Openprovider control panel or letting it expire does not delete it at the registry. The domain owner/ registrant will continue receiving renewal invoices directly from registry until the domain is explicitly deleted via the Punktum DK self-service portal.. Openprovider cannot intervene in this process. For billing queries, the domain/ owner registrant should contact the registry directly at punktum.dk/en/contact-customer-service.
Registrar-managed domains
Deletion support for registrar-managed domains is being finalised. We will update this section when available.
Restore / reactivate
Registrant-managed domains
If a domain has expired due to a missed payment and has not been explicitly deleted, it can be restored via the Punktum DK self-service portal. If a domain has been explicitly deleted, restoration is not possible.
Registrar-managed domains
Restore support for registrar-managed domains is being finalised. We will update this section when available

.es
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .es domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
All (!) used handles must have the following details filled in:
The state / province in the address details must be filled in. For entities based in Spain, please check the correct naming in our knowledge base article.
For private individual (company field is NOT filled in)
Passport number or individual ID
For companies (company field is filled in)
Company registration number
.es ANNEX III registrant Acceptance
This acceptance will be mandatory from the 1st of September, 2022. You can read more details here
Registration of .es domains is realtime, except for .edu.es and .gob.es registrations. Those extensions are restricted and will be manually validated by the registry.
Here you can see the regulation of .es, where you can find the list of reserved domains.
IMPORTANT
The .es registry performs a monthly validation of domain holder data. This information must be real and verifiable. When the registry detects data that appears to be incorrect or suspicious, it initiates a procedure to correct it. The registry sends an email to the registrar, with the domain holder in copy. The subject of this email is: "Initiation of special cancellation procedure to verify compliance with domain name assignment requirements."
This email explains that the domain holder has a period of THIRTY CALENDAR DAYS to provide supporting documentation or request a change of ownership. Additionally, after the first TEN CALENDAR DAYS from the date the email is sent, the domain name will cease to be visible on the Internet due to the deactivation of its DNS settings.
As the registrar, we consider that the domain holder has received this notification and will contact their service provider directly if they have any questions. If you are one of our clients and need assistance, please contact our support team at support@openprovider.com.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
Authorization code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
All used handles must have the following details filled in:
The state / province in the address details must be filled in. For entities based in Spain, please check the correct naming in our knowledge base article.
For private individual (company field is NOT filled in)
Passport number or individual ID
For companies (company field is filled in)
Company registration number
Note:- Authorization code will be valid for 10 days.
Additional notes on a .es transfer
Confirmation email sent by the .ES registry to the administrative contact must be confirmed within 10 days, otherwise the request will time-out.
This email can not be re-sent, so we advise to check if the mailbox is still in use and accessible, before you request the transfer. Only option to resend the email is to cancel the transfer and start it again. Transfer can be cancelled from the control panel, from the Transfer Queue. Once cancelled, please delete the domain from the same page.
The owner will not change during the transfer. In case you want to change the owner after the transfer, please follow these instructions.
If a transfer is completed after the domain expired at the previous registrar, we will enable auto-renewal for this domain so that it does not expire. This does not depend on your account settings for auto-renewal. You can change this from the domain details.

.es (artículo en español)
Antes de nada, aquí tienes un artículo con preguntas frecuentes del .es. Léetelo, puede ayudarte!
Registro
El registro de un .es es instantáneo y se puede hacer desde el panel de control.
Por favor, ten en cuenta estos dos requisitos para todos los contactos usados:
Si la casilla "Empresa" está rellenada, la casilla "Número de registro de empresa / CIF" es obligatoria.
Si el titular es una persona física (es decir, si la casilla "Empresa" NO está rellenada), la casilla "Número de Identificación - DNI" es obligatoria.
La provincia es obligatoria y debe añadirse en el formato que encontrarás en este artículo. Asegúrate que la provincia está escrita exactamente igual que en el artículo.
La falta de cualquiera de los dos datos, provocará ERROR al registrar o hará que los nameservers no se actualicen en el caso de una transferencia.
Transferencia
Puedes solicitar una transferencia para un .es de esta forma:
Solicita la transferencia desde el panel de control. Deberás añadir el authcode.
El contacto administrativo recibirá un email que debe confirmar en un máximo de 10 días. La transferencia se hará efectiva en el momento en que se confirme el email.
Ten en cuenta que la transferencia de un .es es gratis ya que la fecha de expiración queda intacta, es decir, el dominio no se renovará.
Recuerda que los contactos deben seguir estos requisitos:
Si la casilla "Empresa" está rellenada, la casilla "Número de registro de empresa / CIF" es obligatoria.
Si el titular es una persona física (es decir, si la casilla "Empresa" NO está rellenada), la casilla "Número de Identificación - DNI" es obligatoria.
La provincia es obligatoria y debe añadirse en el formato que encontrarás en este artículo.
Si no es así, la transferencia se llevará a cabo pero las DNS no se actualizarán.
IMPORTANTE: Si el contacto administrativo no ha recibido el email de confirmación: por favor cancela la transferencia desde el panel de control "Lista de transferencias". Una vez cancelada la transferencia, borra el dominio para poder volverla a solicitar y que el email se envíe de nuevo.
Si tras iniciar una nueva transferencia, el cliente insiste en que no ha recibido el mail, pese a haber revisado carpetas de spam etc, or favor, considera actualizar el email de contacto administrativo.
IMPORTANTE (también): Si se completa una transferencia después de que el dominio haya expirado en el registrador anterior o cuando queden pocos días para la fecha de expiración, habilitaremos la renovación automática para este dominio para que no expire. Esto no depende de la configuración de su cuenta para la renovación automática.

Actualizar contactos
Puedes cambiar el contacto administrativo y técnico sustituyendo el contacto actual por el nuevo desde el panel de control. Después de guardar los cambios, el cambio se realizará en tiempo real. Lo mismo sucederá con las DNS.
IMPORTANTE: Si quieres cambiar el email de un contacto, deberás crear un contacto nuevo (puedes clonar el antiguo) con el mail correcto y substituir el contacto viejo por el nuevo. Si simplemente cambias el email del contacto actual, el cambio no se actualizará en el registro.
Cambio de titular
Un cambio de titular de un .es se debe hacer directamente desde el panel de Esnic, el registro de los .es. No es posible hacerlo desde el panel de Openprovider. Aquí tienes un artículo más detallado sobre el cambio de titular.
Eliminar dominio
Puedes eliminar un .es desde el panel de control. Una vez lo hagas, el administrativo recibirá un email que deberá confirmar. Si no se confirma el dominio no se eliminará.
Reactivación
Puedes reactivar un .es desde la "lista de reactivaciones" de tu panel de control. Tienes 10 días desde que se expira (16 desde la fecha de renovación de Openprovider) y la reactivación es gratuita.

Registration agreement
The registry requires that a registration agreement is in place between the provider and the domain holder. The text of this registration agreement and any required supplements is the following:
General registration agreement
.es ANNEX III registrant Acceptance
Dominios .ES (.es registry) requires us to ask for the registrant's approval for Openprovider to be the registrar for their domains.
In the terms and conditions of the registry, it states that registrants must accept “ANNEX III” stating that the domain will be managed by Hosting Concepts BV (the Registrar).
Continuing with our commitment to be as transparent as possible and to be white-label, we have created a new flag in the API to require the acceptance that you need to integrate it as a reseller if you register domains with us using our API.
FAQ's
I’m using the API, how it work?
When registering .es domains using Openprovider’s API, you have to provide the new flag “esAnnexAcceptance” specifying with “1” if the registrant accepted the registry’s terms and conditions or “0” if not.
Of course, to have your domain registered, we will have to receive the flag as “1”.
How do I ask for the registrant's acceptance?
We recommend putting a checkbox in your registration flow with sample text like:
“I agree with the registry rules and accept the terms and conditions”.
In this text, it is mandatory to put a link to this document.
I’m using WHMCS, how it works?
In the “additionalfields.php” (/PATH_TO_WHMCS/modules/registrars/openprovider/configuration/additionalfields.php) file of Openprovider’s plugin, add the following lines:
$additionaldomainfields[".es"][] = array(
"Name" => "I agree with red.es rules and accept the terms and conditions",
"LangVar" => "esRegistrantAnnex3Acceptance",
"Type" => "tickbox",
"Required" => true,
"op_location" => "domainAdditionalData",
"op_name" => "esRegistrantAnnex3Acceptance"
);
Note that you can customize the text shown to your customers by editing the “Name” value.
I’m using the Reseller Control Panel, how it work?
For every new domain registration, you will have to mark the checkbox “I have the consent from the registrant to register this domain on his behalf and complying with red.es rules. ANNEX 3 Policy”. That’s all!
Is it mandatory?
From September 18, 2024 , this will be mandatory and all .es and corresponding 3rd Level new domain registrations without this flag will not be registered.
What happens to my current domains registered?
No action is required for your current registered .es domains, as this change is only affecting new .es domains registered.
.esq
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .esq domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
.esq started its General Availability on May 10th, 2023.
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant e-mail address verification applies
SSL certificate required
Note that the registry has put the extension on the HSTS preload list. As a result, web browsers will not show the website unless it is secured with an SSL certificate. Check the Openprovider control panel for more information on how to order an SSL certificate. You can still register a domain without installing SSL certificate. The domain will be yours, but the domain will not load in the browser. Other applications will work as normal (e.g. e-mail).
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant e-mail address verification applies
During the transfer period which can take 6 days, the current provider or the owner can reject to the transfer.
The registration period after a successful transfer will extend with 1 year, unless the transfer is ordered within the domain's auto-renew grace period at the previous registrar.

Registration agreement
The registry requires that a registration agreement is in place between the provider and the domain holder. The text of this registration agreement and any required supplements is the following:
General registration agreement
Due to the regular changes in registry rules and configuration or missing information from registry side, and despite our effort to keep our knowledge base up-to-date, information in the knowledge base may be outdated or incorrect. If you encounter some issue, please report it through the "HotJar" feedback collector on the bottom right, or (if it is blocked by your browser) by clicking the "Submit a request" link below. No rights can be derived from the information in this knowledge base. If there is discrepancy between the knowledge base and the process in Openprovider, the process in Openprovider is leading.
.eu
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .eu domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
You can register an .eu domain via RCP (Reseller Control Panel) or XML API or REST API. This registration is real time and requires the following information:
the domain's contact handles (registrant, admin, etc.)
registrant should be located in a EU or EEA country or be a citizen of one of the EU member states.
if a private individual registrant does not reside in a EU or EEA country but is a citizen of such country, enter the "country of citizenship" in the customer details in RCP. This only applies for private individuals, and not companies. If the registrant is a company/organization with a non-EU country handle, entering citizenship details will not satisfy the .eu eligibility requirement. In that case, the registrant must create a separate private individual handle with the correct EU citizenship specified, and use that handle for the .eu domain registration or transfer.
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
If error "The contact type registrant must meet the general eligibility criteria" is shown, the registrant does not meet the requirements. (see above).
It is not required to submit a VAT number in the handles, but when the VAT number is added, the EU registry will check if it is valid. Non valid VAT numbers will give an error.
A VAT number must begin with two uppercase letters followed by up to 18 digits. For example, NL12345678 - where NL is the country code for the Netherlands.
Note that it is not allowed to mix alphabets: the domain name must be in the same alphabet (script) as the extension. That means that
for .eu domains, the domain name itself must be in Latin characters;
for .ею domains, the domain name itself must be in Cyrillic characters; and
for .ευ domains, the domain name itself must be in Greek characters.
NOTES :
Domain Verification Process by EURid
The registrant will receive an email directly from no-reply@eurid.eu, indicating that EURid has initiated the verification of their domain. The registry will send multiple reminders to the registrant to complete the verification process. If the verification is not completed within the specified deadline, the domain name will be suspended. In case of failed/incomplete domain verification, the registry reserves the right to SUSPEND or DELETE the domain without refunds.
How can the registrant verify their details?
The registrant needs to log in to their panel at https://my.eurid.eu and follow the instructions provided by EURid to complete the verification.
If your customer encounters any difficulties during the verification process, please feel free to contact EURid Support directly at info@eurid.eu or +32 (0) 2 401 27 50
Domain names with status "withdrawn" are no longer registered and are currently unavailable for registration pending the outcome of legal activity. For further information please contact legal@eurid.eu.
Brexit changes
On the 1st of February 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union. This will cause registrants from the United Kingdom to be no longer eligible for .eu, .ею and .ευ domain names after the transition period. The transition period is scheduled to end on the 31st of December 2020.
The registry has informed all UK and GI registrants by e-mail on the 1st of October and the 21st of December 2020, urging them to update their registration data to an address in the European Union, if possible. Any non-compliant domain name has been suspended on the 1st of January 2021. Until the 30th of June 2021, changes can still be made through the control panel or API, but please always inform us on support@openprovider.com about such changes, as we need to request them manually at the .eu registry as well.
On the 1st of July 2021, the domains will be withdrawn and cannot be updated anymore.
UPDATE 2021-06-30: contrary to the registry's original plans, they made it possible to recover a withdrawn domain name (even after the 1st of July) by the last holder in exceptional cases, provided that last holder can present registration data that meet the .eu eligibility criteria.
If the last holder wishes to recover a domain name, they must contact EURid directly and follow the recovery procedure: the domain holder submits a formal request, which includes an eligible address and EURid will evaluate. If granted, EURid will activate the domain name with the provided registration data by moving them to a dedicated EURid Brexit holding account. The status of the domain name will be updated to ‘registered’, and a one-year term will be added to the registration.
The domain name holder will be then invited to log in to their My.eu account (using the e-mail address provided in the request) and obtain a transfer authorisation code that can be provided to Openprovider for a regular transfer.
An activated Brexit domain name that has not been transferred to an accredited registrar by 31 December 2021 will be revoked together with the other Brexit withdrawn domain names, and subsequently made available for general registration starting from 1 January 2022.
The registry regularly updates the Brexit-related information on their website.
Transfer
You can start an .eu domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API. Transfers are processed real time and require the following information:
an authorisation code that you need to request at your current provider
a valid authorisation code has 4 blocks of 4 characters, for example REGE-1HAZ-W3XP-3EA1
the domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
registrant should be located in a EU or EEA country or be a citizen of one of the EU member states.
owner contact/handle of a reserved domain that was registered through a special application process can not be changed during transfer.
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
The transfer code is valid for 40 days after creation. The registration period after a successful transfer extends with 1 year.
It is not required to submit a VAT number in the handles, but when the VAT number is added, the EU registry will check if it is valid. Non valid VAT numbers will give an error.
Additional notes on a .eu transfer
A transfer code for a .eu domain is valid for the period of 40 days.
If the domain holder changes during the authorisation code validity period of 40 days, the code will be reset. A new cost must be retrieved if you still want to transfer the domain out.
If the current registrar is not able to or does not cooperate in providing the authorization code, the registrant can request the authorization code via My .EU.
If My .EU is no option, the registry offers an escalation path through the registry. This should be used as a last resort only.
Transfer from quarantine is possible, but we still need the authorization code. Be aware that additional costs are involved. Please contact the support department and send the domain name, handles and nameservers along with the authorization code.
A bulk transfer is possible: Openprovider can transfer a complete or partial portfolio with as much as signing a form.

Notes:

Other update
requested via RCP or XML API or REST API

Note: The .eu registry doesn't treat nameservers as objects that can be modified, instead, they are considered attributes of the domain itself.
Because of this, updating nameserver IPs through Nameserver Management alone is not sufficient. For the IP changes to be reflected at the registry level, you must update the domain that uses those nameservers with the new IPs, either via RCP or the API.
If you are using REST API, please ensure that the
force_registry_update parameter is set to
true in the UpdateDomain request.
Domain updates may fail if the registrant is not located in the EU and a local presence was previously used.
Important: Domain updates cannot be processed until the registrant is located in the EU.

Finnish private individuals:
social security number
passport/ID number
state/province
Finnish companies

Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
*authcode (valid for external transfers - coming from the FI registry, not from a registrar)
Internal transfers need explicit confirmation in the Control Panel
Transfers are processed in realtime
Notes:
Ownership change does not happen with a transfer. To change the owner, a trade needs to be done explicitly.
The registry will not send an email to domain contacts after the transfer finishes.
Make sure to select Company type in Customers overview > Customer > Additional data > .fi
*Only the FI Registry (Traficom) can provide the external transfercode. The registrar can request this via the registry control panel. Please note that a code for trade and for transfer can be generated from there.
The code for trades can NOT be used for transfers! (common cause why transfers fail with the error "invalid code" because the wrong code has been requested.)

Check the Openprovider control panel for more information on how to order an SSL certificate. You can still register a domain without installing SSL certificate. The domain will be yours, but the domain will not load in the browser. Other applications will work as normal (e.g. e-mail).
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant e-mail address verification applies
During the transfer period which can take 6 days, the current provider or the owner can reject to the transfer.
The registration period after a successful transfer will extend with 1 year, unless the transfer is ordered within the domain's auto-renew grace period at the previous registrar.

.fr
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .fr domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
Registrant contact require:
Valid full first-name. Abbreviations like "A." are not allowed.
Located within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
Two or more nameservers or a nameserver group.
Technical Contact can be a COMPANY or an INDIVIDUAL Person. If the technical contact is an individual person, his/her information will be published on the whois.
The french registry (Afnic) will perform checks on the requirements above and contact the registrant directly in case the requirements are not met to ask for proof of identification data. (For example, the registrant seems to have an address outside the EU).
Proof of identification data contains:
Company
- business registration certificate
- the ID of the legal representative of the company
Private individual
- copy of the holder's national identity card or passport
- proof of residence of less than three months (telephone or electricity bill, tax notice, etc.
- holder's email address and telephone number
In case the registry does not receive any documents in time, they will block the domain untill the documents are received. To unblock, the registrant has to reply to the email of the registry with the required documents.
The Registry maintains a list of domain names to the "reserved" status (towns, community names).
If registration fails with a "2304, Object status prohibits operation" error (example: Object status prohibits operation: city name (AFNIC authinfo mandatory)),the domain can not be registered directly. Only in case the registrant has a legitimate interest (represents city council of that city or region for example) a request can be submitted to the registry to manually asses the request in order to register the domain.
If the registrant believes he has a legitimate interest / claim, please sent us an email and include the handle of the registrant + his connection to the city / region + purpose of the website and we can submit the request.
Domain names under the extensions .com.fr, .asso.fr and .tm.fr are discontinued since 2013. No new domain names can be registered under those extensions. Existing domains under those extensions can be managed like any other domain and can be transferred into Openprovider.
Registrants from the United Kingdom that registered their domain before the 1st of January 2021 are eligible to keep their domain name; they can update, transfer and renew their domain name as any other registrant. However, as the Brexit transition period ended, new registrations for registrants from the United Kingdom are not allowed anymore.
Important: As provided for in the Naming Charter since 1 January 2023, Afnic will implement on September 26, 2023 a mechanism that will identify, as soon as a domain name is created and before it is published in the DNS, data of domain name holders that do not meet eligibility criteria of the .fr Naming Charter.
Initially, we will focus on the main criteria of holder eligibility, which is the principal criteria for .fr accessibility, and specifically, the creation of a .fr domain name by a holder who does not reside in the European Union. The mechanism in place checks all .fr domain name creations and in the initial phase of deployment, automatically identifies those for which holders have entered a "country code" corresponding to a country outside the territories of the EU and EFTA member countries.
As soon as we detect a domain name whose registrant data corresponds to this category, it is registered but not published in the DNS for a maximum of 7 calendar days. A SERVER_HOLD status is applied.
This means that the domain name is indeed registered but its publication in the DNS is suspended.
During this non-publication phase, which lasts 7 days, several actions are possible:
- update the holder's details so that they meet the criteria set out in article 5.1 of the Naming Charter;
- change the holder;
- delete the domain name.
IMPORTANT:
Domain Registration Restrictions: Online Gambling and Pharmacy-Related Terms:
In accordance with French law, it is strictly prohibited to offer online casino games or online sports betting on French territory without proper authorization. Additionally, to prevent fraudulent or non-compliant domain registrations, we have enforced a keyword-based restriction within our system across all AFNIC TLDs. This change aims to ensure compliance with French regulations and to protect users from illegal or misleading online activities.

Important Update:
ANINF, the National Agency for Digital Infrastructure and Frequencies of the Gabonese Republic, took over the administration of the national ccTLD .GA at the beginning of June and terminated the contract with the company Freenom, which had previously managed .GA. The reason given by ANINF was dissatisfaction with Freenom's services. Now Afnic, the French Network Information Centre, provides the registry backend for .GA.
This migration results in some technical updates as well as price adjustments. What has changed for .GA domains?
•New Domain Auth Codes have been issued.
•New handles have been assigned to the domains while the details remain identical.
•The expiration dates have been set by Afnic by default to: 2024-06-05, 00:00. However, we have adjusted the expiration year in case domains have already been renewed with Freenom for multiple years. These expiration dates are set accordingly to: YYYY-06-05.
•The Deletion/Renewal Timeframe has changed from 6 days prior to Expiration Date to 1 day prior to the Paid Until Date.
At the same time, ANINF has announced changes in the pricing structure. The price change is effective immediately. You will see the price change automatically reflected in your Openprovider Account.

.hu
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .hu domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
the domain's contact handles
Private individual:
- Registrant's full name is mandatory (no abbreviations)
- Local presence within the EU is required (trustee service available)
- Passport or identification number (in handle).
Company:
- Registrant's full name is mandatory, including the legal form ("B.V. / GmbH etc") (no abbreviations)
- Local presence within the EU is required (trustee service available)
- Registrant handle must have passport or identification number, even when the registrant is a company. (in handle).
- A trademark document or a business certificate where it is visible / mentioned that the registrant company has the right to register the domain name must be provided.
- Registrant handle must contain VAT number which 100% matches the EU database.
Two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
- the zone needs to be already correctly configured before you register the domain
- postmaster@[domain].hu needs to be active on the mail server
Applications with abbreviated names (such as M. Maxwell) and WHOIS privacy protection, among other things, will be rejected by the registry.
¡NEW and IMPORTANT! - Email Confirmation Process
When a registration request is submitted, the domain owner should receive a confirmation email from the registry.
The email is sent directly by the registry, from the address:
confirmation@domain.hu.
To complete the registration, the domain owner must click the link in the email and approve the request.
If the confirmation email is not received or not approved, the registration will remain pending. The confirmation link is valid for 30 days.
There is no way to re-send the confirmation email or check its delivery status.
The owner should check their spam/junk folder carefully.
Alternatively, they can complete (and send it to support@openprovider.com) the registration by filling out this form: https://domainreg.hu/doc/1f.zip
This form must be signed using EIDAS digital signature or printed, signed, scanned, and include a specimen signature.
We (the registrar/reseller) do not have visibility into whether the confirmation email was sent.
Other Important Additional notes
All .HU domain name registrations, including failed ones, will be fully billed.
To avoid the disadvantages of this policy, our provider has developed a new feature:
- In case of incorrect or incomplete data, proxy data will be used to ensure successful completion of all .HU registrations. This means that registration requests can’t fail or expire going forward and are always processed successfully. Refunds are no longer available.
- Once a .HU registration request is submitted and processed with the proxy data, it is easy to replace them with the correct registrant data by sending appropriate proof documents to the Support Team.
- The data correction is free of charge and should be done within a maximum of 3 months after the registration.
There is an 8+2 day waiting period for the registry registration process. During this time, the domain has the status "PROCESSING."
The new domain is available for 14 days at https://www.domain.hu/domain-announcement/
Technical check for .hu domains is a bit more strict1 than other TLDs. Check the tool supplied by the registry.
Registration cancellations by applicants are not supported at any stage of the process and are non-refundable.
1 The main difference to other DNS checks is that the registry requires a postmaster@domain.hu to be active on the mailserver that you inserted in the DNS zone. Make sure that the mailserver is already accepting mail for the postmaster mailbox in the domain you are requesting.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer requires:

.in
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .in domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Important:
This TLD has strict contact verification requirements. You MUST provide verifiable contact information, or your domain may be suspended or deleted by the registry without warning or refund.
Adjusting contact details later will be a complex process due to slow/lack of responses from registry side.
Foreign / non-resident registrants are required to declare their connection or purpose related to India. Registrants will be prompted to select their connection to India during registration. This applies only to foreign / non-resident registrants. API documentation has also been updated for users integrating via REST API (in_nexus_connection_to_india / in_nexus_declaration_attestation) or XML API (inNexusConnectionToIndia / inNexusDeclarationAttestation).
NOTE:
To ensure registrant authenticity and communication reliability, the .IN registry now prohibits the use of disposable, temporary, or encrypted email services. This includes, but is not limited to:
Guerrilla Mail – guerrillamail.com
10 Minute Mail – 10minutemail.com
Temp Mail – temp-mail.org
Mailinator – mailinator.com
EmailOnDeck – emailondeck.com
ProtonMail – proton.me
Tutanota – tutanota.com
Mailfence – mailfence.com
Hushmail – hushmail.com
StartMail – startmail.com
Hence effective Jan 14, 2026, we are introducing stricter validations to block the creation or update of contact handles using any of the above or similar email services.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group

registrant e-mail address verification applies
SSL certificate required
Note that the registry has put the extension on the HSTS preload list. As a result, web browsers will not show the website unless it is secured with an SSL certificate. Check the Openprovider control panel for more information on how to order an SSL certificate. You can still register a domain without installing SSL certificate. The domain will be yours, but the domain will not load in the browser. Other applications will work as normal (e.g. e-mail).
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorization code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant e-mail address verification applies
During the transfer period which can take 6 days, the current provider or the owner can reject to the transfer.
The registration period after a successful transfer will extend with 1 year, unless the transfer is ordered within the domain's auto-renew grace period at the previous registrar.

.it
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .it domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group (correctly configured*)
.it domain names can be registered by anyone who is an adult and has citizenship, residence or commercial headquarters in the countries of the European Economic Area (EEA), in the State of the Vatican, in the Republic of San Marino, in Swiss Confederation and in the United Kingdom.
All (!) used handles (also admin / tech) must have the following details filled in:
For companies
VAT number
For private individual
Passport or ID number, AND Social Security Number (fiscal code): Example: ABCDEF12G34H567I without spaces
Registrant and admin contact must be the same
The first name, last name and tax code indicated in the registration request must exactly match the information on the registrant's tax code card.
State / province: For entities based in Italy, the registry will strictly check the 2-letter province code included in the handle. See for the correct naming our separate knowledge base article.
Email sent to the registrant has to be confirmed within 14 days, otherwise the request will fail. This email can not be re-sent.
In order to trigger a new email, the current registration request must be deleted (via domain detail page or via the queue for "Recent Registrations") and a new request must be submitted, which will trigger a new confirmation email
Eligible resellers can bypass the standard REQ declaration workflow for .IT and second-level .IT domain registration, transfer, and Change of Registrant request via API.
To use this feature, both of the following API parameters must be set to YES:
Parameter Values
it_nexus_declaration YES / NO
it_reseller_declaration YES / NO
By setting it_reseller_declaration=YES, you confirm that you have:
- presented the applicable Registro .IT Registration Form to the Registrant as part of your own process;
- obtained the Registrant's explicit acceptance before submitting the API request; and
- retained evidence of the Registrant's acceptance and will provide such evidence to Openprovider upon request.
If either parameter is omitted or set to NO, the standard REQ workflow will apply.
Please find the articles below
Registration Form – Natural Persons, Sole Proprietorships and Self-employed Persons
Registration Form – Legal Entities
Additional notes
*Nameservers must be properly configured. Check this on the registry's website.
"Social security number" field has to be filled in with the Fiscal code (contains of 16 alphanumeric-value without spaces) and must pass validation through Italian fiscale control. Example: ABCDEF12G34H567I
Please ensure to enter full first name and last name as per Codice fiscale data. Registry will verify name provided against Codice fiscale data and a mismatch will result in failure of domain registration or transfer with error "Registrant: invalid reg code". Data can be verified at: Verifica e corrispondenza tra il codice fiscale e i dati anagrafici di una persona fisica
AutoRenew period: 15 days time period immediately following expiry of the domain name.
MX record must be present and using two or more DNS with the same IP is not allowed.
Common errors
"The domain registration/transfer/trade failed. Reason: Incorrect contact's details: XY123456-ZZ, 2004, Parameter value range error; Registrant: invalid reg code"
Reason: "Social security number" is wrong or field is empty.
"2005, Parameter value syntax error; Voice syntax error"
Reason: phone number is wrong. Check area code and numbers format used.
AB12345-IT, 2004, Parameter value range error; Postal information: invalid sp value Issue: The state is not filled in or the state does not contain the right letters (when IT address, must only be 2 letters)
"Domain creation failed: 2308, Data management policy violation; Domain cannot be associated with a registrant with entity type != 1 and entity type != 3, and consentForPublishing set to false" - This could happen if the state field is incorrect, or in caps or missing. Try creating a new handle with correct state information and try the registration again with the new handle.
Registrant data accuracy verification
The .IT registry regularly checks registrant data with automated tools. If it finds that a registrant's details may be incorrect or incomplete, it opens a verification procedure for that registrant.
What happens when a procedure starts
All .it domains linked to that registrant are locked: they cannot be updated, transferred or deleted. The domains keep working for now.
You receive a notification that the procedure has started ("Lock by accuracy procedure is started"). The registry also emails the registrant directly.
Ask the registrant for the documents below and send them to our Support team. We will correct the data with the registry for you.
Documents required
Individual resident in Italy: national identity card
Individual outside Italy: passport
Organisation: certificate of incorporation
If a VAT number is listed: proof of VAT registration
Deadlines
Days 0–30: the domain stays active but locked.
Days 31–75: the domain is deactivated and stops resolving.
After day 75: the registry places the domain in serverHold. The domain cannot be reactivated, and the registry deletes it on its expiration date. Neither Openprovider nor the registry can reverse this.
Important: act on these notifications right away and make sure the registrant's details exactly match their official documents. Once the data is approved by the registry, the domains are released.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group.
Nameservers must be properly configured. Check this on the registry's website.
Eligible resellers can bypass the standard REQ declaration workflow for .IT and second-level .IT domain registration, transfer, and Change of Registrant request via API.
To use this feature, both of the following API parameters must be set to YES:
Parameter Values

This change is processed realtime. The whois will take 6 to 12 hours to update.
My domain has a status "pendingUpdate" even if I changed the DNS Records, what does that mean ?
When a domain name is in pendingUpdate, it remains in this status for maximum of 5 days.
If the new DNS Configuration is not positively validated by the Registry within this term, it is abandoned and the domain returns to the previous status.
When the domain name is in pendingUpdate status, the DNS configuration checks are automatically activated in the following way:
immediately after every updateDomainRequest to change the DNS configuration;
every 30 minutes until the expiration of the period of pendingUpdate (5 days).
I have renewed the domain but in whois the expiration date has not been updated. Why?
The autoRenewPeriod identifies the period of 15 days immediately after the expiry of the domain name. This means that expiration date will change in whois after 15 days from the renewal date in Openprovider.
Deletion / Restore
Delete

.lt
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .lt domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
the domain's contact handles including:
For private person
Name of the registrant must be correct, abbreviations are not allowed.
For companies
Correct and valid company registration number required
two or more pre-configured nameservers or a nameserver group
The registry regularly checks on correctness of registration data!
Correct and valid company registration number is required, the number can be verified via this database.
Name of the registrant must be written fully and correct, abbreviations (John D.) are not allowed.
Please note that:
Incomplete information (e.g. a typing error in the name) can only be corrected by doing a trade
Fake data in the handles can lead to deletion of the domain name by the Registry.
REGISTRATION OF A RESERVED .lt DOMAIN NAME
Currently, it is not possible to directly register a reserved .lt domain via RCP.
If you want to do so, send an email to support@openprovider.com with all the details of the domain name (Contact Handles, Nameserver Records)
Correct and valid company registration number is required, the number can be verified via this database as the registry will check for the sanity of the data.
If the domain is to be registered in the name of an individual, Passport Number must be specified in the Owner Contact Handle.
Openprovider will check with the registry, if it meets all the requirements and will revert you back.
Upon the reseller's confirmation, we will register the domain name and add it to your portfolio.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer requires:
the domain's contact handles including:
For companies
Company registration number required
two or more pre-configured nameservers or a nameserver group
The domain holder may not change during the transfer request. Please review the whois and your handle before initiating the transfer.
Procedure
Request for a transfer auth code at current registrar.
The transfer authorization code is valid for 7 calendar days from its creation.
Submit a transfer request at Openprovider via API or RCP using the auth code.
During the transfer procedure with a transfer authorization code, the verification of the registrant's name remains (i.e., ensuring that the natural person's name or legal entity's name matches the existing one).
During the validity period of the generated transfer authorization code, it is only possible to generate a new transfer authorization code (replace it) for the same domain by revoking the current transfer authorization code.
The domain transfer procedure can be initiated by the registrar, registrant, or .lt administrator.
Three domain transfer authorization codes are possible, respectively generated by the registrar, the registrant (registrant.domreg.lt), and the .lt administrator.
Accordingly, the registrar and the registrant can only revoke their own generated transfer authorization codes.
Transfer authorization code format: AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA
A - randomly generated number or uppercase letter.
Additional notes on a .lt transfer
Details about selecting a registrar are listed on the registry's website.
In case your current provider is not aware about the .LT transfer process and is not familiar with the transfer auth code which you need, please refer them to this information page from the .LT Registry:

Advanced and simple transfers available
Contact our Sales department to check if easy transfer of 100 or more .lt domains is available.
Outgoing transfer
You may request transfer auth code via RCP (Reseller Control Panel) or API.
PLEASE NOTE, that if the domain transfer procedure was not completed within 7 calendar days since code was generated, the transfer authorization code for domain should be generated anew.
Update
Owner change (trade)
Trade requests are initiated at the registry's website domreg.lt
(NOTE: a transfer and trade at the same time are not supported! First transfer the domain with keeping the same registrant, once the transfer is finished, you can submit a trade)
Procedure
Make a trade agreement with the gaining registrant.
The current registrant logs in to http://www.domreg.lt/registrant, and starts a trade request.
Indicate the domain gaining registrant’s data in the opened window:
Select whether gaining registrant type is a natural person or legal entity in the drop box;
Enter gaining registrant full name, surname or legal entity’s name (when completing the trade procedure, these data have to coincide with the data provided by the gaining registrant’s servicing registrar);
Enter gaining registrant’s full email address;
Once the registrant has initiated this trade, the reseller orders the trade in Openprovider within 7 days, ensuring that the name and e-mail address match the provided data. When procedure is completed, a new domain holder (registrant) is displayed in WHOIS database.
If trade procedure is not completed within the specified period, you can initiate it again, as previously specified.
It is now possible to request registrant ID, i.e. RN[number] via Openprovider API, please use 'auth_code_type' 'rncode' for REST API requests and 'authCodeType' 'rncode' for XML API requests.
Notes: Trade is not allowed within the period of 30 calendar days from the domain’s creation, or from the last trade, or from the domain’s creating during “quarantine”. In such case, you have to wait until the end of the specified period or apply to .lt registry with a request to quicken the procedure’s admissibility due to essential reasons, and state these reasons. In case a domain name is on the list of the reserved labels, the acquirer has to submit a permission to use the reserved label to .lt registry before the trade procedure.

Restore / reactivate
A restore can be done via the restore queue in the control panel or by API.

Registration is realtime, but resolving dns may take 30 minutes.
If the DNS zone is not configured correctly, the domain will be registered without nameservers.
After the DNS zone configuration issue is solved, please update the domain manually.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
email sent by the .lu Registry to the admin contact has to be confirmed within 14 days.
After this is confirmed, the transfer will complete instantly.
Please note that failed transfers are billed by the registry. We will charge you the same amount, €3,75 per domain. To avoid this, we advise to confirm the transfer with the administrative contact before initiating it.

Other update
requested via RCP or API

NOTE: DNSLU checks the new nameservers live when you submit an NS update. It queries each one for the domain's SOA and NS records while the update is pending. If even one nameserver doesn't respond authoritatively, the whole update fails silently - without an error, but the domain quietly reverts to its old nameservers. So before submitting the update, make sure the zone is fully set up (correct SOA and NS records) on every new nameserver first.

Note :
Following are the two scenarios where the registrant will receive an invoice directly from the registry to be paid for their .lv domain(s)
Direct Registration via NIC.LV
If you register a .LV domain directly on the NIC.LV website using their registration form and the registration is confirmed, the registry will invoice you directly.
Domain Removed from Registrar Management
If we, as your registrar, remove the .LV domain from our management (for example, due to non-renewal or account changes), and the renewal date is approaching, the registry will take over management of the domain. In this case, NIC.LV will send the renewal invoice directly to you.
Transfer

authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
NOTE:
- From 1 November 2026, a domain name may be transferred to the management of another registrar at any time, except in the following cases:
The newly registered domain name has not yet been paid for;
The domain name is subject to a restriction imposed by a competent authority or procedure (for example, the State Revenue Service, court or due to initiated ADR).
Additional notes on a .lv transfer
A domain name may not be transferred in the same month as its registration or the month afterwards. A domain name may not be transferred within the first month after its renewal.
The transfer code is valid for 7 days only.

Delete
Explicit delete
Requested via RCP or XML API or REST API
After sending a delete request, the registry will send to the domain owner an e-mail, asking him if he wants to take over the management of the domain. If he does not do that within 3 working days, the registry will remove the domain from the zone file.
After 30 more days, the domain becomes available again.
If a recently registered domain name is deleted before it has been billed to the registrar (normally within the first 60 days), the registry will not delete the domain immediately but mark it 'auto-expire' after the first year of registration.
In order to delete the domain name, the registry has to receive a written (signed) request from the holder of the domain name.
Application forms website : www.nic.lv/en/application-forms
If the registry did not receive the payment for the right to use the domain, the domain name will be deleted in accordance with the policy for acquisition of the right to use the domain names under the TLD .lv.
Restore / reactivate
If the registrant has chosen to take over the management of the domain name, he can choose to transfer the domain to Openprovider again.
If the domain was not taken over and is still in its 30 days "locked" period, please contact us and include the domain name and approval on the €25 reactivation fee in your request. Restoring a .LV domain is a manual process and can take a day before it is processed at the registry.

Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
Two or more nameservers or a nameserver group.
For Second Level Domains (.com.mk|.net.mk|.org.mk |.edu.mk|.мкд), signing of a Power of Attorney by the registrant is required prior to completing the registration, where the registrant's contact details will be visible in Whois directly at the registration.
Notes:
Registration is a manual process and takes up to 14 days.
The Registrant handle must include a valid Company VAT ID, or an Individual ID Number for private persons; requests without one of these identifiers will be rejected by the registry.
All new .mk registrations will use default Whois Trustee.
If you need to make registrant contact details visible in Whois for .mk domains, it is now possible by making a trade request.
If the reseller data needs to be visible in WHOIS, then you have to provide a POA (Power Of Attorney) prior or after the registration. If it is after the registration, it will be considered as trade.
All local and international individuals and legal entities have the right to register .mk and.мкд domains.

This article describes the procedures and requirements of .music domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:

After a .MUSIC domain name is registered at a Registrar, registrants must complete an identity verification through the Registry Operator’s Identity Verification Solution Provider (IVSP) at the URL - https://id.music. Registrants have upto 1 year to do this. Upon registration success, .MUSIC domains are immediately active for use.
At the point of registration, registrants will simply confirm their Music Nexus by clicking an attestation checkbox to qualify.
To ensure the protection of the .MUSIC namespace, completion of the former “hard” Nexus will be required through the registry’s Music Nexus AI Audit Program.
Registered users should expect a Nexus audit email sometime during their first year of registration. After following the audit email instructions, failure to successfully complete the Nexus audit may result in the suspension of their domain name until the Nexus verification can be established.
List of "Reserved" and "Premium" .music domains is available here.
Please note that "Reserved" domain names cannot be registered.

The domain will be yours, but the domain will not load in the browser. Other applications will work as normal (e.g. e-mail).
Registration policy actively enforced
Note that the registry will actively enforce the registration policy. Any non-compliant registrations (including domains not live within 100 days, landing pages, work in progress pages, and non-action generation or online creation flows) will be flagged. Registrants will be notified and failure to remediate will lead to the domain being locked and then deleted.

.nl
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .nl domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP (Reseller Control Panel) or XML API or REST API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
postal box (postbus) is not allowed in the registrant handle
valid phone number is required in all handles
(Optional) Reseller in whois option*
FAX number is not required, but in case it is entered in the handle, it must be valid.
* - When submitting a handle in the field "Reseller handle" this information will be visible in the whois. If you do not want details displayed, leave the field empty.
- When a "Trading Name" is entered in the handle, this name will be displayed in the whois instead of the company name of the handle.
- Starting October 1st 2023, you will no longer be able to purchase Whois Privacy Protection for new .nl domain names due to new SIDN policy. Furthermore, it will not be possible to renew your existing Whois Privacy Protection services for .nl domains. Your active Whois Privacy Protection services for .nl domains will remain active until their expiration date.
When domains are renewed, the WPP will be deactivated automatically. This will trigger an email from SIDN about a change of ownership to the registrant. We can not prevent this email unfortunately.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
an authorisation code that you need to request at your current provider.
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
postal box (postbus) is not allowed in the registrant handle
valid phone number is required in all handles
If FAX number is entered (not required?), it must be valid
If you notice that the nameservers or the contacts are not correctly updated after a transfer, the update was not accepted by SIDN due to one of the missing requirements above.
Make sure to correct the data in the used handles, before processing a domain sync or update.
Additional notes on a .nl transfer
Remaining registration period at the registry will be unchanged. This period might be different then your previous hosting provider communicated in case they renew .nl domains per month or quarter with SIDN instead of per year. In addition, SIDN does not support multiyear renewals. In case your current provider has renewed the domain for more than 1 year, they will not have renewed / paid for this period at SIDN (yet). Only the remaining registration period of SIDN will be unchanged at the moment of transfer.
An authorization code is not required if the current registrar is bankrupt, contact support for more information.
Escalation procedure is possible if the current registrar does not provide the authorization code.
Bulk transfers are possible (more info)
Transfer from quarantine is possible; additional costs apply. More info here.
In exceptional cases, SIDN can request us to send the authorization code directly to the domain holder.
Openprovider does not (yet) support .nl Control. If you want to transfer a domain that runs under .nl Control, please deactivate this at the current registrar before ordering the transfer in Openprovider.
If registry expiration date is close or expired (<= 1 day), you will have 1 day after activation and Openprovider will enable auto-renew (and notify about that).
Proof of ownership
In some cases, for example when requesting us to escalate a transfer or to transfer a domain from quarantine, we are obliged to check the ownership of the domain name. The domain holder can request those data from registry SIDN, or you can do so for the domain holder:
Visit SIDN's website in English or Dutch
Fill in the domain name, the domain holder's e-mail address and zip code
SIDN will now send two links to the domain holder and administrative contact:
one link for the domain holder himself
and one link that can be shared with others
Do not open the second link (as it can be opened only once!), but send it to Openprovider
Openprovider is now able to validate the owner details

Pledged domains (Domeinen met pandrecht)
In case you receive the error "This transaction is incompatible with the domain name's current status" it can indicate that the domain is Pledged (pandrecht). This is a service between SIDN and the registrant directly.
When requesting an update for a pledge domain, the registry will not directly process them realtime, but they will be handled manually. This can take 1 till 3 days.
The error "This transaction is incompatible with the domain name's current status" is shown because we do not get a direct response from the registry back that the update is successful or not. The request is actually pending at the registry.
Owner update: SIDN need approval of the pledgee within 3 days.
Nameserver change: SIDN will process this within 1 workday.
Deletion / Restore
Delete
requested via RCP or XML API or REST API
processed realtime
will result in a quarantine period
In case error is shown "Cannot delete domain on registry side" the domain is limited (Pledged / pandrecht). Please contact the registrant and / or SIDN to resolve this.
In case the registry does not allow a domain deletion, we can request a special cancellation procedure with the registry. The fee for this procedure is €25,00 per domain name. Contact our support department for more information and to start the procedure.
Note:
After domain cancellations, former registrants/domain owners may receive an e-mail from SIDN regarding mail traffic to cancelled domain names. You can find more information about this at: Mail traffic to cancelled domain names

.no
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .no domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration viaRCPorXML API or REST API requires:
the domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.). Please note the first name and last name can't be a single letter. Please ensure to add full names as per identity documents.
The applicant must be over age 18, registered in the Norwegian National Population Register with a Norwegian national identity number and have a Norwegian postal address. Openprovider does not offer a local presence service for Norway
Private individuals need a N.PRI.XXXXXXXX number( this number needs to be requested at at the registry https://pid.norid.no/personid/personid) in the Passport/ID number field
and a Social security number
Companies need a Norwergian company number and a VAT number present in the handle.
Valid phone number is required in all handles
Company's data has to be current and (stay) up-to-date. The registry will check this randomly during the lifecycle of the domain and suspend non-eligable domains.
Two or more nameservers and a zone which is correctly configured.
Up to 2 days of processing time
Company number can be checked here: BRREG
In case your registration is rejected, please confirm that the owner has an address in Norway in the handle, the registration number is valid and that the zone of the domain is already correctly resolving. A dns check can be done via the website of the registry: https://dnscheck.norid.no/
Common Issues:
Issue: Registration fails with the error: 541 Invalid attribute value) [NO- is not the proper zip code for City (example: Jorpeland).
Cause: This error occurs when the city name in the contact handle uses anglicized characters instead of the official Norwegian characters (e.g., using "Jorpeland" instead of "Jørpeland").
Solution: You must create a new contact handle with the corrected information and resubmit the registration.
Correct the Spelling: Ensure the city name uses the proper Norwegian characters (e.g., Jørpeland).
Do Not Modify the Old Handle: The registry does not allow updates to handles that contain the same information as the previous one, so modifying the incorrect handle will not work.
Create a New Handle: Create a completely new contact handle with the correctly spelled city name and other required details.
Resubmit Registration: Use the new, corrected handle to resubmit the domain registration.
Note:
In case a .no verification (random check) fails - Openprovider isn't informed by the provider. So the domain will be directly suspended without a warning.
The domain name holder:
may register up to 100 domain names if you are a business enterprise or other organization
may register up to 5 domain names if you are a private individual
Transfer

Company registration number (registrants from other countries)
Note :- The Swedish company registration number must be provided in hyphenated format (e.g. 123456-7890); submitting it without a hyphen will be rejected by the .NU registry.
Registry error message: “Organization registration number is incorrect”
Important: Starting from September 16, 2025, registrants must confirm acceptance of .se/.nu registry policies:
REST API - iisse_acceptance in additional_data (should be set to 1 to confirm acceptance)
XML API - iisseAcceptance in additionalData (should be set to 1 to confirm acceptance)
RCP: Checkbox for will be available during registration to confirm that you read and agree to the registry policies.
NOTE :
The 'Contact Verification Email' will be sent by Openprovider to the domain holder. It's the same email you are already familiar with, presently sent for gTLD domains under ICANN policy. To find the email template, click here. Domain owners will receive a second reminder on the 7th day after registration, transfer, or update. They will have 14 days to verify their email by clicking a link. If they do not verify their email, the domain will be suspended.
registrations will be automatically rejected with error 125: "Invalid Social Security Number (SSN) or Personal Identification Number!" if they are linked to domain handles with:
- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that contain special characters (!?$%*+=).
- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that do not conform to the expected format of the selected country.
If the registrant lists a Swedish address, but wishes to use an ID number issued by a different county, then the ID number must include the two-letter country code of the issuing country in square brackets.
For example, a passport from the Netherlands with number 12345678 would be written as [NL]12345678.
For Swedish residents, do not include any country code; the valid format is 123456-7890 (6 digits, dash, 4 digits).

An additional verification check may be triggered for new domain registrations if any of the data is found to be inaccurate or unclear. In such cases, the Registry will place the domains on Serverhold and you will receive instructions via email for identity verification.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant e-mail address verification applies (from April 10, 2024)
The domain owner contact must have the following data included:
Private individual
Swedish personal number (registrants from Sweden). Swedish personal number can be in the formats YYMMDD-BBBC, YYMMDD+BBBC or YYYYMMDDBBBC.
Social security number (registrants from other countries)
You can refer to free tools online for a general check of a Swedish SSN or an SSN/PIN in different countries.
Legal entity
Swedish organizational number (registrants from Sweden)
Company registration number (registrants from other countries)
The transfer will be completed in realtime. Domain contacts are not notified about the transfer. The registration period after a successful transfer will remain unchanged.
Error: Transfer request failed : Authorization Error, the password did not match
Cause : The Auth Code is incorrect, please ask the registrar to refresh the Auth Code and enter it again.
NOTE :
The 'Contact Verification Email' will be sent by Openprovider to the domain holder. It's the same email you are already familiar with, presently sent for gTLD domains under ICANN policy. To find the email template, click here. Domain owners will receive a second reminder on the 7th day after registration, transfer, or update. They will have 14 days to verify their email by clicking a link. If they do not verify their email, the domain will be suspended.
Transfers will be automatically rejected with error 125: "Invalid Social Security Number (SSN) or Personal Identification Number!" if they are linked to domain handles with:
- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that contain special characters (!?$%*+=).
- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that do not conform to the expected format of the selected country.
Additional notes on a .nu transfer
If a transfer is completed after the domain expired at the previous registrar, we will enable auto-renewal for this domain so that it does not expire. This does not depend on your account settings for auto-renewal. You can change this from the domain details.

In such cases, the registry will place the domains on hold, and you will receive instructions via email for identity verification.
Other update

Notes:
The company registration number CAN NOT be changed via an update in the contact.
The only way to update the company registration number for a .nu domain is via creating a clone, adding a new handle and connecting domains to the new handle.
Do not forget to sync the domains with the registry!
Updates will be automatically rejected with error 125: "Invalid Social Security Number (SSN) or Personal Identification Number!" if they are linked to domain handles with:
- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that contain special characters (!?$%*+=).
- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that do not conform to the expected format of the selected country.
Deletion / Restore
Delete
After expiration or deletion of a domain name, it will enter into a 60-day "Deactivation period". During this period, the domain name does not resolve anymore but can still be reactivated.
After this 60-day period, the domain enters a 7-day "Quarantine period" during which the domain can not be reactivated anymore. After those 7 days, the domain is released again by the registry and is available for new registration.
The "renewal date offset" for .nu domains is -9 days. That means that auto-renewal or auto-expiration is processed 9 days after the registry's expiration date. A domain registered on the 1st of January, will be removed from the zone only on the 10th of January. You have until 9 days after the registry's expiration date to renew the domain in Openprovider.
• Registry services are possible up until the day before deletion.
• Expired domains can still be renewed and transferred to another registrar as long as they do not have:
- renewProhibited
- transferProhibited
This means:Auth codes may still be obtainable.
Transfers can still proceed before final delete.
Important: Once the domain reaches the actual delete day, no actions are possible.
Restore / reactivate

.nz
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .nz domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
If you are registering a .nz (top level) domain and the same domain name already exists in one of the second level domains (like .co.nz), it is mandatory to use theauthcode of that domain to register the .NZ domain name.
Important!
The DNC (Domain Name Commission, the regulator for .NZ) may apply a Compliance Lock when a .nz domain is under investigation for compliance with the .nz Rules , most often during the Data Validation process.
Typical reasons:
The registrant (Domain Name Holder) could not be contacted.
Registration details are incorrect, misleading, or incomplete.
The registrant failed to provide identity verification when requested.
The registrant does not meet the eligibility requirements under the .nz Rules.
While a Compliance Lock is in place, the domain can not be updated, transfered or deleted.
The lock can only be lifted once the registrant resolves the underlying compliance issue directly with DNC:
The registrant contacts DNC via info@dnc.org.nz directly and verifies their registration / identity details.
Once DNC is satisfied, DNC removes the lock (and lifts the suspension if one was applied).
Openprovider can not remove the lock, update the domain nor act for the registrant or reseller. Only the registrant himself can request DNC to verify their data and remove the lock.

If you receive "Name held in the dropzone" notification while trying to register a domain that means that by now registration is not possible.
Drop Zone - the area in which domain names fall after deletion.
After deletion, an .ORG domains are not immediately available for open registration, but for some time they are in the domain for remote domains to which only for a few of accredited .ORG registrars have access. The need to introduce an optimized registration mechanism in the Drop Zone is caused by a large number of domain name registrations for secondary use by our customers. Popular domains most often include domains with SEO indicators (PR, TIC), which can bring tangible advertising revenue to owners from the first day of registration. Drop Zone is available for the largest Registrars only at certain times of the day and is limited in time. When the opportunity became available, all the largest Registrars who know how to operate with this area try to submit the planned client domains for registration.
Check WHOIS for more information.

Registration
The Billing-Contact as well as the Owner-Contact need a local presence in Brazil. Therefore you can use our trustee service or provide us with your Brazilian register number (for the owner contact) and a Brazilian contact handle (for the billing contact).
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
Valid CPF number (Social security number) for private owner contact (CPF must be given in the following format: NNN.NNN.NNN-NN)
Valid CNPJ number (VAT number) for company owner contact (CNPJ must be given in the following format: NN.NNN.NNN/NNNN-NN)
Preconfigured DNS zone with at least 1 valid A-record. Zone can be verified via registry's DNS checker
In case of a Brazilian contact the two letter state value is mandatory:

Alagoas - AL
Amapá - AP
Amazonas - AM
Bahia - BA

NB: for registered domain names, their variations with additional ASCII characters are not possible. i.e. if domainname.org.br is registered, domain-name.org.br can't be registered. Such variations can be registered by the original domain owner only.
Important:
In order for an organization to be eligible for ORG.BR name registrations, it must prove it is a non-governmental and a not-for-profit organization. Therefore our trustee service can NOT be used. After registration of a .org.br domain it is reserved for two weeks while the registry waits for the documents proving non-profit status.
Registrations are not real-time and can take up to 14 days.
Transfer
Since the trustee service is NOT available for ORG.BR domain names, the transfer is done by the domain owner himself on registry website. The customer needs to login and select "Toweb Brazil" as the new registrar. Additionally, you should request a transfer in our system, so we know to which account we have to assign the domain as soon as it was transferred by the domain holder.

.org.uk
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .org.uk domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful real-time domain registration via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant data needs to be real and valid. Fake / non verified* data may lead to suspension by the registry.
"Reseller in whois" optional. Make sure the fields "Company URL" and "Tradingname" are present in the selected handle. (How to add these details)
*After registration, registry Nominet will validate the owner's details against online resources.
If the data could not be validated, Openprovider may ask you for additional proof.
If this proof cannot be delivered within 30 days, the domain may be rendered unresolvable until the data can be validated.
You can check this in the whois, if the status is "suspended" you need to provide the information requested above.
Transfer
Do you want to see an example video of a .uk / co.uk transfer? Go to this separate article on .uk transfers
Successful domain transfer viaRCPorAPIrequires:
the domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
NO authorisation code!
"Reseller in whois" optional. Make sure the fields "Company URL" and "Tradingname" are present in the selected handle. (How to add these details)
Follow the steps below:
Request the transfer. This must always be the first step, as without an active incoming transfer request in your control panel, our system will not accept the incoming transfer!
Once the request is done, contact your current provider and request to change the so-called IPS tag from the domain to REGISTRAR-EU.
Once the current provider has changed the IPS tag of the domain the transfer will be completed within a few hours.
Additional notes on a .org.uk transfer
IPS tag: the current provider should change the so-called IPS-tag into REGISTRAR-EU. This has to be done within 45 days, otherwise the transfer will time out and automatically fail.
Once the IPS-tag has been changed the transfer will finalize momentarily.
If no registrar is shown in the whois, the domain is detagged. In that case the owner can change the IPS tag himself. More information can be found on Nominet's website.
If the domain name has a transfer lock applied (clientTransferProhibited), the current registrar cannot change the IPS tag. However, the domain holder can do so himself through the Online Services panel of Nominet.
After the transfer has been completed, Nominet will send an e-mail confirmation to the domain holder.
After a transfer, the expiration date remains unchanged. The transfer will be free of charge, but take care of a possible quick renewal.
If a transfer is completed after the domain expired at the previous registrar, we will enable auto-renewal for this domain so that it does not expire. This does not depend on your account settings for auto-renewal. You can change this from the domain details.
We've explained this procedure a bit further in a separate article on .uk transfers, because it is quite different from other TLDs.

Outgoing transfer
Successful domain transfer out viaRCPorAPIrequires:
To transfer a domain to another registrar, you first need to get that new registrar's so-called IPS tag. Once you have received this information
Navigate to the domain's details page and enter the IPS tag under the section
Change registrar tag. Be sure to copy/paste the full tag and leave upper- and lowercase unchanged. Clicking Submit tag change will send the tag change request to the registry.
Note that the new registrar still needs to accept the incoming domain. If an outgoing transfer does not succeed after submitting the new IPS tag, please contact the new registrar for more information.
Did you receive the error : "Transfer release failed: The tag 'XXXX' is unrecognized" In that case, the TAG is not correct. Be sure to copy/paste the full tag and leave upper- and lowercase unchanged. You can find an overview of all correct tags of all registrars here: https://registrars.nominet.uk/uk-namespace/registrar-agreement/list-of-registrars/
Note: When a domain is suspended by Nominet or locked (transfer lock enabled), IPS Tag change is not allowed, the following error may pop-up.
Error :
Object Status prohibits operation; V195 The following domain names may not be released due to a Nominet Process.
Update
Owner change (trade)
requested as a normal domain update via RCP or API
A trade of a .uk domain is done by updating the domain's owner contact.
Nominet will send an e-mail to the current and new domain holder to inform them about the trade. Note that a new validation process may start, if Nominet was not able to verify the address automatically.
Other update
A change of contact details can be done by updating the associated handles in the control panel. After saving the changes the domain name will be updated real-time.
If the e-mail address changes, Nominet may send a registration notice to the new domain holder, stating the domain names registered and their registration dates.
Deletion / Restore
Delete
If a domain name expires, it will be unavailable for a period of 90 days:
the first 30 days a general notice will be shown, after 30 days the domain name will be suspended and 60 days later the domain name becomes available for registration again.
The registrant will receive an e-mail from Nominet.
An explicit delete of a domain name will cause it to become detagged. This means that the contractual relationship will change towards the registry directly.
The domain will remain functional up to its original expiration date, after which it will expire.
After Quarantine, the domain will stay in a 5 day pendingDelete Period where the domain will br frozen by the registry before being purged from the registry database and becomes available for re-registration.
Restore / reactivate
If your .co.uk domain name expired on it's own you can restore it via the request queue restores in our control panel.
If it was deleted manually, it will be detagged and reactivating it will need to be done by the registrant via the website of Nominet.

.org.za
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .org.za domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group.
full legal names of Registrant and Administrative, Technical and Billing contacts should be provided.
All domain names between 1 (one) and 3 (three) letters are considered Premium Domain Names in the Org.Za namespace.
When registering a new domain name, the administrator will check that the listed nameservers are properly configured for the domain name. Should the listed nameservers fail the administrator’s checks the domain name application will be processed, but the domain name will not be published in the Org.Za zone file. This means that it will not be reachable on the internet. The "administrator" means the Org.za domain name administrator, namely ZA Central Registry NPC.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group.
full legal names of Registrant and Administrative, Technical and Billing contacts should be provided.
At initiation of the transfer, the registry sends an e-mail to the registrant and to the current registrar of the domain. Action is required:
If the registrant approves the transfer, the transfer finishes immediately.
If the current registrar approves the transfer, the transfer will finish after 5 days (even if the registrant rejects the transfer).
If none of the parties approves the transfer, the transfer will fail after 5 days.
The renewal period is automatically set to a default of 1 (one) year upon successful domain transfer between registrars, or is renewed during the Closed Redemption phase.
* “Closed Redemption Phase” means a period of 20 (twenty) consecutive days commencing on the expiry of the pending deletion period (5 consecutive days), only if a domain is expired;
Additional notes on a .org.za transfer
After the transfer finishes, Openprovider sends new domain data to the registry. The update of the registrant may take 5 days; the registrant will receive an e-mail with an update notification.

Update
Owner change (trade)
An owner change is done via a normal domain update. Rather than a normal update, the registry starts a 5-days "pending period" after the owner change has been requested. At the start of this period, the current holder receives a notification e-mail. At the end of the period, the new holder receives a notification e-mail. During those five days, no other update can be done to the domain name. It is not required to respond to the e-mails of the registry: the change will automatically be applied.
Other update
An update is performed realtime, unless the registrant changes as well.
If you want to combine a nameserver update with an owner change, first change the nameservers (realtime) and in a second update change the domain owner (which starts a 5-days pending update period). The domain owner receives a notification e-mail.
Nameserver update: Nameservers must be configured and return an authoritative answer (resolving) before you update the domain towards the new nameservers. If the zone is not found on the new nameserver or not resolving, the registry will reject the update.

SSL certificate required
Note that the registry has put the extension on the HSTS preload list. As a result, web browsers will not show the website unless it is secured with an SSL certificate. Check the Openprovider control panel for more information on how to order an SSL certificate. You can still register a domain without installing SSL certificate. The domain will be yours, but the domain will not load in the browser. Other applications will work as normal (e.g. e-mail).
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group

Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration requires:
Registrant contact require:
Located within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
For private individual
the date, place and country of birth (hidden in whois)
Technical contact must be a company
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
The french registry (Afnic) will perform checks on the requirements above and contact the registrant directly in case the requirements are not met, to ask for proof of identification data. (For example, the registrant seems to have an address outside the EU).
Proof of identification data contains:
Company
- business registration certificate
- the ID of the legal representative of the company
Private individual
- copy of the holder's national identity card or passport
- proof of residence of less than three months (telephone or electricity bill, tax notice, etc.
- holder's email address and telephone number
In case the registry does not receive any documents in time, they will block the domain untill the documents are received. To unblock, the registrant has to reply to the email of the registry with the required documents.
The details of an individual registrant will be hidden in the whois automatically.
Registry AFNIC maintains a list of domain names to the "reserved" status, for example town and community names. Unfortunately we cannot see this status until the registration request, that will fail with a "2304, Object status prohibits operation" error.
Reserved domain names can be registered if the registrant has a legitimate interest, for example if the name is his company name. Please contact us in such case. The list is available at AFNIC's website.
IMPORTANT:
Domain Registration Restrictions: Online Gambling and Pharmacy-Related Terms:
In accordance with French law, it is strictly prohibited to offer online casino games or online sports betting on French territory without proper authorization. Additionally, to prevent fraudulent or non-compliant domain registrations, we have enforced a keyword-based restriction within our system across all AFNIC TLDs. This change aims to ensure compliance with French regulations and to protect users from illegal or misleading online activities.
Legal Background
Gambling and Betting Prohibitions
Under Articles L320-1 and L324-1 of the French Internal Security Code and Article 56 of Law No. 2010-476 of May 12, 2010, the following applies:
- Offering online casino games on French territory is strictly prohibited.
- Offering online sports betting without an appropriate license is also strictly prohibited.
The official list of approved and licensed operators can be consulted on Legifrance.
This restriction will apply to all TLDs (.fr, .re, .pm, .tf, .wf, .yt) under the AFNIC Registry.
Restricted Keywords - If a domain name includes any of the following terms, the registration will be automatically blocked:
Gambling / Betting Keywords

Implementation Details
- The restriction is enforced at the time of domain registration.
- Domains containing any restricted keyword will be rejected automatically.
- Registrants wishing to use a blocked term for legitimate reasons must contact support for manual review and provide appropriate company documentation and license proof.
Transfer
You can start a .pm domain transfer through our API or control panel. This transfer requires the following information:
an authorisation code that you need to request at your current provider.
a registrant that resides in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
an admin contact handle
a tech contact handle - this can not be a person, but needs to be a company handle
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Once the transfer is started, it will be finished in maximum 22 days:
if the current registrar approves the transfer, the transfer will complete immediately;
if the current registrar does not approve nor reject the transfer, the transfer will complete after 8 days;
if the current registrar rejects the transfer within the first 8 days, the transfer will still complete automatically after 22 days.
If the domain holder wants to cancel an initiated transfer, only the gaining registrar (Openprovider, through you as a reseller) can do so; you can cancel the transfer from the transfer queue in your control panel. The registration period after a successful transfer restarts. The registry will not send an e-mail to the domain contacts after the transfer finishes.

.pt
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .pt domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
Please note the first name and last name can't be a single letter. Please ensure to add full names as per identity documents. Eg. for "John Doe", the registry will not accept "J. Doe" or "John D." The full name must be entered.
owner handle requires additional data
individuals - Tax number
company - VAT number
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group (nameservers should be preconfigured)
Get acquainted with the name policy (Article 10) while registering name (non-compliant domains are deleted with no refunds).
Compliance of a domain name / proof request
1. After registration of a domain name, within 10 days and following a sampling process, the .PT may take the steps it deems applicable to verify a domain name's compliance with the provisions of article 6, as well as to assess the accuracy of the identification data of those responsible for it.
2. The .PT may request the registrant and the managing body/registrar (Openprovider - if the domain was registered through us) to provide, within 2 days, proof of compliance with the provisions of these Rules. The request from registry will be forwarded to the reseller and the reseller or registrant should provide proof of compliance within 2 days, directly to the PT registry (emailaddress and instructions will be communicated in the email from the registry.)
3. If, following verification pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the .PT concludes that a domain name is in breach of these Rules, it shall immediately remove it and shall notify the corresponding registrant and managing body/registrar, with a complete statement of the grounds for its removal decision.
For more details, please refer to: .PT registration rules (Article 8)
IMPORTANT NOTE :
Due special requirements with .pt registry, we must set ourselves (Openprovider) as Admin / Tech Contact in order to provide proactive support.
The Registry does not accept the creation of a new contact handle with a pre-existing VAT number, as it is a unique identifier.
Do not clone handles with a existing VAT number while registering .pt domains as registry does not allow to create individual handles for such scenario
After registration, the owner and technical contact will receive 2 emails:
Information about the domain status
Information about the assignment of the contacts to the domain name.
The second contains all registration data. If the holder isn't assigned to another domain, then "NicHandle" from the document is required for future owner changes.
Note on identification data
If the ID is in use with an existing contact, the registry will use existing contact rather than any new contact that you are creating.
If a company is trading under different names, but with the same identification number as a result, the contacts always collide and the name cannot easily be registered on the right data. Contact support@openprovider.com in such cases.
ID/VAT must always correspond to the country where the company/person is registered ("X" country VAT cannot be associated with a contact with a "Y" country address, country and VAT must belong to the same country).
Invalidated holder gets email with the subject "Rectification of domain owner contact".
If the documentation for owner update is not resent within 48 hours, the registry deletes the domain.
Note : PT validation and verification new changes has been applied.
Registration Flow (New Contact)
Once a domain registration is submitted, the domain enters REQ status. This triggers an Identity Verification (IV) request, and an email is sent to the reseller.
At the same time, the registrant receives an email verification request.
Both the document submission and the email verification must be completed within 14 days.
Once the required documents are received and the email verification is completed, the IV request is approved by an Openprovider agent.
This sends a validation claim to the Registry. After the validation is successfully processed, the domain status changes from REQ to ACT.
2. New Contacts – Validation and Verification
Before a new contact can be used for a domain registration, it must be validated. Validation confirms that the contact details are correct and consistent, such as name, address, and tax ID. Verification confirms that the email and phone number are operational.
A contact is considered validated only after both validation and verification are complete.
Note: Phone verification is currently marked as verified by default, so only email verification is required for now.
3. Existing Contacts – Verification Status
If an existing contact is already verified, the registration proceeds normally. If the contact is not verified, it is flagged for verification, and an Identity Verification (IV) request along with an email verification is triggered.
4. Contact Modifications
Existing .PT contacts cannot be modified. Any attempt to modify an existing handle will result in an error. A backup solution for this is work in progress.
5. Proactive Verification
The Registry may proactively request verification for an existing contact. In such cases, we receive an EPP poll message, which triggers an IV request. The registrant then has 10 days to complete email verification.
If verification is completed, we notify the Registry to mark the contact as verified. If verification is not completed within the given timeframe, the associated domain(s) may be removed by the Registry.
Note: In some exception cases where the poll message does not trigger an IV request, an email will be sent to support with the subject line "Proof Request." In such cases, that email must be forwarded to the reseller in order to obtain the required documentation.
6. Proof of Validation
.PT does not require supporting documents to be submitted upfront. However, the Registry may request proof of validation at any time. If such a request is made, there is an 8-day deadline to provide the required documentation.
Registrants are advised to carefully read all emails received from the Registry and to promptly provide any requested documents. Failure to do so may result in verification failures or potential removal of the associated domain(s)
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires the following information:
authorization code (validity: 8-30 days)
domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
If the current registrar can not provide an auth code, request it from the registry.

The registrant of a .radio domain name must be an individual or a legal entity with a nexus to the .radio community.

.re
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .re domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
Registrant contact require:
Valid full first-name. Abbreviations like "A." are not allowed.
Located within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
Two or more nameservers or a nameserver group.
Technical Contact can be a COMPANY or an INDIVIDUAL Person. If the technical contact is an individual person, his/her information will be published on the whois.
Registry maintains a list of domain names to the "reserved" status (towns, community names).
If registration fails with a "2304, Object status prohibits operation" error (example: Object status prohibits operation: city name (AFNIC authinfo mandatory)),the domain can not be registered directly. Only in case the registrant has a legitimate interest (represents city council of that city or region for example) a request can be submitted to the registry to manually asses the request in order to register the domain.
If the registrant believes he has a legitimate interest / claim, please sent us an email and include the handle of the registrant + his connection to the city / region + purpose of the website and we can submit the request.
Domain names under the extensions .com.re and .asso.re are discontinued since 2013. No new domain names can be registered under those extensions. Existing domains under those extensions can be managed like any other domain and can be transferred into Openprovider.
IMPORTANT:
Domain Registration Restrictions: Online Gambling and Pharmacy-Related Terms:
In accordance with French law, it is strictly prohibited to offer online casino games or online sports betting on French territory without proper authorization. Additionally, to prevent fraudulent or non-compliant domain registrations, we have enforced a keyword-based restriction within our system across all AFNIC TLDs. This change aims to ensure compliance with French regulations and to protect users from illegal or misleading online activities.
Legal Background
Gambling and Betting Prohibitions
Under Articles L320-1 and L324-1 of the French Internal Security Code and Article 56 of Law No. 2010-476 of May 12, 2010, the following applies:
- Offering online casino games on French territory is strictly prohibited.
- Offering online sports betting without an appropriate license is also strictly prohibited.
The official list of approved and licensed operators can be consulted on Legifrance.
This restriction will apply to all TLDs (.fr, .re, .pm, .tf, .wf, .yt) under the AFNIC Registry.
Restricted Keywords - If a domain name includes any of the following terms, the registration will be automatically blocked:
Gambling / Betting Keywords
casino, gambling, betting, wager, gamesofchance, gamble, punt, stakes, onlinecasino, virtualcasino, casinowebsite, casinoplatform, livecasino, blackjack, poker, roulette, baccarat, craps, keno, slot, slots, videopoker, lottery, lotto, sweepstake, scratchcard, jackpot, raffle, sportsbook, bet365, parimutuel, bettingodds, livebetting, footballbet, casinobonus, welcomebonus, freespins, nodeposit, 100free, winbig, jeuxdargent, jeuxdecasino, parisportif, cotes, tirage, gagnerdelargent, bonuscasino, machinesasous, blackjackenligne, roulettenligne, pokeraargent, bet, bets, betonline, livebet, livebetting, footballbet, sportsbet, sportsbetting, bettingodds, bet365, bettips, bestbet, freebet, matchbet, placedbet, placingbet, parlay, stake, stakes, wager, wagers, wagering, odds, bookmaker, bookie, sportsbook, spreadbet, handicapbet, matchodds, betnow, winbet

In France, the medicine distribution chain is secure and under pharmaceutical supervision. Only an individual who holds a State Doctor of Pharmacy degree is authorized to open or acquire a pharmacy and to sell medicines, whether through a physical pharmacy or online.

registrant e-mail address verification applies
A new registration is validated by the registry before it is activated. This validation process can take up to a few working days. As there are content requirements to the domain name (see 'Restrictions' in the detailed TLD information section below), the registry may re-validate the website now and then. If the registry finds that the domain is not meeting all requirements, they will contact the domain holder to cure the issues. Uncured issues may lead to suspended a suspension of the domain name. The domain can be unsuspended after the registrant solved the issue and responded to the registry.
Restricted and reserved domains
The Rio city government has composed a "reserved list". Domains on this list appear as unavailable in Openprovider, with reason "Policy restriction". Contact us if you want to register such a domain name. Generic terms will most likely be rejected, but requests for non-generic terms will be investigated by the city government. Please send us the following information if you want us to apply for a reserved domain name:
Domain name
Taxpayer ID of the prospective registrant
Name / Legal name of the prospective registrant
Physical address in Rio and a utility bill containing that address
Other similar domain names already owned by that registrant
Purpose of using that specific domain
There are no additional fees involved, though be prepared for a very slow process.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant e-mail address verification applies
During the transfer period which can take 6 days, the current provider or the owner can reject to the transfer.
The registration period after a successful transfer will extend with 1 year, unless the transfer is ordered within the domain's auto-renew grace period at the previous registrar.

Openprovider is not a reseller from RU Center but is directly accredited at the Russian Registry. Therefore internal transfer codes from RU Center can not be used for transfers.
Please request your transfercode for external transfers ("to other registrar") at RU center:

Important when requesting the code:
Set "Receipt of transfer codes" to email, otherwise you might have to pick up the transfercodes at the RU-Center office in Moscow.

.se
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .se domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant e-mail address verification applies (from April 10, 2024)
The domain's Owner contact handle must have the following data included:
Private individual
Swedish personal number (registrants from Sweden. Swedish personal number can be in the formats YYMMDD-BBBC, YYMMDD+BBBC or YYYYMMDDBBBC.
Social security number (registrants from other countries)
You can refer to free tools online for a general check of a Swedish SSN or an SSN/PIN in different countries.
Please note; if this number is too long, it will be necessary to remove the first two digits.
Legal entity
Swedish organizational number (registrants from Sweden)
Company registration number (registrants from other countries)
Note :- The Swedish company registration number must be provided in hyphenated format (e.g. 123456-7890); submitting it without a hyphen will be rejected by the .SE registry.
Registry error message: “Organization registration number is incorrect”
Important: Starting from September 16, 2025, registrants must confirm acceptance of .se/.nu registry policies:
REST API - iisse_acceptance in additional_data (should be set to 1 to confirm acceptance)
XML API - iisseAcceptancein additionalData (should be set to 1 to confirm acceptance)
RCP: Checkbox for will be available during registration to confirm that you read and agree to the registry policies.
NOTE :
The 'Contact Verification Email' will be sent by Openprovider to the domain holder. It's the same email you are already familiar with, presently sent for gTLD domains under ICANN policy. To find the email template, click here. Domain owners will receive a second reminder on the 7th day after registration, transfer, or update. They will have 14 days to verify their email by clicking a link. If they do not verify their email, the domain will be suspended.
The registrant of the domain name may get an email directly from the .SE Registry (The Swedish Internet Foundation) asking to re-check and validate the registrant data if the same is invalid. As a part of .se registration process to maintain data sanity, the registry compares the registered information with submitted documents and does not perform changes themselves. The registrant is responsible for following up to this email directly with the Registry and this is NOT DONE via Registrar / Reseller. Please note that if the registrant did not reply to this email within 14 days, the registry reserves the right to SUSPEND / DELETE the domain.
Domain names with Number combinations in the format xxxxxx-xxxx and xxxxxxxx-xxxx that comprise, or may comprise, a personal identity number cannot be registered.
If the registrant lists a Swedish address, but wishes to use an ID number issued by a different country, then the ID number must include the two-letter country code of the issuing county. For example, a passport from the Netherlands with number 12345678 would be written as NL12345678. For Swedish residents, do not include any country code; the valid format is 123456-7890 (6 digits, dash, 4 digits). Please note to verify the company registration number on this website.
registrations will be automatically rejected with error 125: "Invalid Social Security Number (SSN) or Personal Identification Number!" if they are linked to domain handles with:
- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that contain special characters (!?$%*+=).
- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that do not conform to the expected format of the selected country.
NB: due to specifics of the integration with the registry, Swedish personal number has to be put in the social security number field of the domain owner handle
Important!
Domain on status "ServerHold"?
The registry has intensified its data accuracy efforts as part of the NIS2 directive. An additional verification check may be triggered for new domain registrations if any of the data is found to be inaccurate or unclear. In such cases, the Registry will place the domains on Serverhold and you will receive instructions via email for identity verification.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
authorization code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant e-mail address verification applies (from April 10, 2024)
The domain owner contact must have the following data included:
Private individual
Swedish personal number (registrants from Sweden). Swedish personal number can be in the formats YYMMDD-BBBC, YYMMDD+BBBC or YYYYMMDDBBBC.
Social security number (registrants from other countries)
You can refer to free tools online for a general check of a Swedish SSN or an SSN/PIN in different countries.

They will have 14 days to verify their email by clicking a link. If they do not verify their email, the domain will be suspended.
Notes on authcode :
The new authorisation code format is :
---
TLD = SE
Expiration date is the last valid day (in YYMMDD format). Authcode is valid for 14 days.
Registrar is the first six letters of the registrar's name
Unique token is a random string.
For example, the auth code SE-240902-HOSTIN-7777aa7a-a77a-77a7-ac5a-777a1cee6a77 follows this structure.
Additional notes on a .se transfer
If a transfer is completed after the domain expired at the previous registrar, we will enable auto-renewal for this domain so that it does not expire. This does not depend on your account settings for auto-renewal. You can change this from the domain details.

If the Nameservers are not being updated, please make sure that the contact handles are correct, check the "registration" tab and also do not forget to fill in the "STATE" field which is strictly monitored by the registry.
The company registration number CAN NOT be changed via an update in the contact.
The only way to update the company registration number for a .se domain is via creating a clone, adding a new handle and connecting domains to the new handle.
Do not forget to sync the domains with the registry!
Deletion / Restore
Delete
Delete - via RCP or XML API or REST API.
After expiration or deletion of a domain name, it will enter into a 60-day "Deactivation period". During this period, the domain name does not resolve anymore but can still be reactivated.
After this 60-day period, the domain enters a 7-day "Quarantine period" during which the domain can not be reactivated anymore. After those 7 days, the domain is released again by the registry and is available for new registration.
The "renewal date offset" for .se domains is -9 days. That means that auto-renewal or auto-expiration is processed 9 days after the registry's expiration date. A domain registered on the 1st of January, will be removed from the zone only on the 10th of January. You have until 9 days after the registry's expiration date to renew the domain in Openprovider.
• Registry services are possible up until the day before deletion (even if domain is in PendingDelete status).
• Expired domains can still be renewed and transferred to another registrar as long as they do not have:
- renewProhibited
- transferProhibited
This means:Auth codes may still be obtainable
Transfers can still proceed before final delete
Important: Once the domain reaches the actual delete day, no actions are possible.

Transfer
The current registrar has to request this change at the registry asking the registry to move the domain into the account registry-liaison@openprovider.nl.
Please inform Openprovider support team as soon as the domains are moved; we will then add them to your account.
Additional notes on a .sr transfer
If the current registrar cannot, or does not want to, cooperate, please send us a letter on the registrant's letterhead, in which the registrant confirms that he wants to transfer his domain to the registry-liaison@openprovider.nl customer of the registry.
The registry will check this with the current registrar first, and then proceed with the transfer.

.tf
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .tf domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration requires:
Registrant contact require:
Located within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
For private individual
the date, place and country of birth (hidden in whois)
Technical contact must be a company
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
If you use are French resident, please besides the date of birth and birth country, complete handle with
birth city
birth postal code
The registry will preform checks on the requirements above and contact the registrant in case the requirements are not met to ask for proof of identification data. (For example, the registrant seems to have an address outside the EU).
Proof of identification data contains:
- Business registration certificate
- The ID of the legal representative of the company
Registry AFNIC maintains a list of domain names to the "reserved" status, for example town and community names. Unfortunately we cannot see this status until the registration request, that will fail with a "2304, Object status prohibits operation" error.
Reserved domain names can be registered if the registrant has a legitimate interest, for example if the name is his company name. Please contact us in such case. The list is available at AFNIC's website.
IMPORTANT:
Domain Registration Restrictions: Online Gambling and Pharmacy-Related Terms:
In accordance with French law, it is strictly prohibited to offer online casino games or online sports betting on French territory without proper authorization. Additionally, to prevent fraudulent or non-compliant domain registrations, we have enforced a keyword-based restriction within our system across all AFNIC TLDs. This change aims to ensure compliance with French regulations and to protect users from illegal or misleading online activities.
Legal Background
Gambling and Betting Prohibitions
Under Articles L320-1 and L324-1 of the French Internal Security Code and Article 56 of Law No. 2010-476 of May 12, 2010, the following applies:
- Offering online casino games on French territory is strictly prohibited.
- Offering online sports betting without an appropriate license is also strictly prohibited.
The official list of approved and licensed operators can be consulted on Legifrance.
This restriction will apply to all TLDs (.fr, .re, .pm, .tf, .wf, .yt) under the AFNIC Registry.
Restricted Keywords - If a domain name includes any of the following terms, the registration will be automatically blocked:
Gambling / Betting Keywords

https://www.ordre.pharmacien.fr/je-suis/patient-grand-public/rechercher-un-site-de-vente-en-ligne-autorise-a-vendre-des-medicaments
Implementation Details
- The restriction is enforced at the time of domain registration.
- Domains containing any restricted keyword will be rejected automatically.
- Registrants wishing to use a blocked term for legitimate reasons must contact support for manual review and provide appropriate company documentation and license proof.
Transfer
You can start a .tf domain transfer through our API or control panel. This transfer requires the following information:
an authorisation code that you need to request at your current provider.
a registrant that resides in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
an admin contact handle
a tech contact handle - this can not be a person, but needs to be a company handle
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Once the transfer is started, it will be finished in maximum 22 days:
if the current registrar approves the transfer, the transfer will complete immediately;
if the current registrar does not approve nor reject the transfer, the transfer will complete after 8 days;
if the current registrar rejects the transfer within the first 8 days, the transfer will still complete automatically after 22 days.
If the domain holder wants to cancel an initiated transfer, only the gaining registrar (Openprovider, through you as a reseller) can do so; you can cancel the transfer from the transfer queue in your control panel. The registration period after a successful transfer restarts. The registry will not send an e-mail to the domain contacts after the transfer finishes.

.tk
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .tk domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Important:
Starting with 2024-05-05, management of .TK domains will no longer be available. This deadline is outside our control, the communication with the Registry has been completely down for some time. You can still attempt to transfer domains, but at the moment no requests are processed succesfully at the Registry. Unless anything changes, communication with the registry will be completely over after that date.
You can register a .tk domain through our API or control panel. This registration is real time and requires the following information:
the domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Please note premium domains (short, memorable and general names) are more expensive to register and renew. This is technical specification for this zone: to check premium price we will need to push creation request first. Openprovider anyway will return regular price but later customer will be notified about exact requested domain price. Once informed, customer will have a choice to confirm or decline registration.
Transfer
Important:
Starting with 2024-05-05, management of .TK domains will no longer be available. This deadline is outside our control, the communication with the Registry has been completely down for some time.

Unless anything changes, communication with the registry will be completely over after that date.
A transfer has to be requested with an authcode. It takes up to 5 days before it is successfully transfered. During this period the current registrar can object against the transfer.
Additional notes on a .tk transfer
Error during transfer: 545: Entity reference not found [Object does not exist] The .TK registry runs 3 different System which are not compatible to another. We are only connected to the EPP service of freenom, if the domain is managed in one of the two other systems we can't manage the domain name. This is indicated with the entity reference not found as the domain does not exist on the EPP system.

.uk
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .uk domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
registrant data needs to be real and valid. Fake / non verified* data may lead to suspension by the registry.
"Reseller in whois" optional. Make sure the fields "Company URL" and "Tradingname" are present in the selected handle. (How to add these details)
*After registration, registry Nominet will validate the owner's details against online resources.
If the data could not be validated, Openprovider may ask you for additional proof.
If this proof cannot be delivered within 30 days, the domain may be rendered unresolvable until the data can be validated.
You can check this in the whois, if the status is "suspended" you need to provide the information requested above.
Additional Information for second level domains :
Domains that end with a .ltd.uk have different rules of registrations placed on them. Registrant must be incorporated companies (not partnerships of any type or unincorporated companies) listed on the index of company and corporate names ('the Names Register') maintained under section 714 of the Companies Act 1985 (or later equivalents); and must be entitled to use 'Limited', 'cyfyngedig', 'ltd.' or 'cyf'. in their corporate name. Legal form/type of the registrant should be selected for the domain owner matching company registration (i.e. 'LTD' for UK Limited Company). Otherwise, domain registrations will fail with error '2306, Parameter value policy error; V081 Registrant type must be LTD for .ltd.uk domain name'.
Further information can be found in Nominet's Rules of Registration (Section 11).
So in case, the company name should be "Company LTD" corresponding to the domain company.ltd.uk or "Companies LTD" corresponding to the domain companies.ltd.uk.
Note: You can just have one contact (owner/registrant) held against a .uk domain registration. The admin, billing and tech contacts are only for a registrar account not required for an individual domain registration at the registry.
Transfer
Do you want to see an example video of a .uk / co.uk transfer? Go to this separate article on .uk transfers
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
the domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
NO authorisation code!
"Reseller in whois" optional. Make sure the fields "Company URL" and "Tradingname" are present in the selected handle. (How to add these details)
Follow the steps below:
Request the transfer. This must always be the first step, as without an active incoming transfer request in your control panel, our system will not accept the incoming transfer!
Once the request is done, contact your current provider and request to change the so-called IPS tag from the domain to REGISTRAR-EU.
Once the current provider has changed the IPS tag of the domain the transfer will be completed within a few hours.
Additional notes on a .uk transfer
IPS tag: the current provider should change the so-called IPS-tag into REGISTRAR-EU. This has to be done within 45 days, otherwise the transfer will time out and automatically fail.
Once the IPS-tag has been changed the transfer will finalize momentarily.
If no registrar is shown in the whois, the domain is detagged. In that case the owner can change the IPS tag himself. More information can be found on Nominet's website.
If the domain name has a transfer lock applied (clientTransferProhibited), the current registrar cannot change the IPS tag. However, the domain holder can do so himself through the Online Services panel of Nominet.
After the transfer has been completed, Nominet will send an e-mail confirmation to the domain holder.
After a transfer, the expiration date remains unchanged. The transfer will be free of charge, but take care of a possible quick renewal.
If a transfer is completed after the domain expired at the previous registrar, we will enable auto-renewal for this domain so that it does not expire. This does not depend on your account settings for auto-renewal. You can change this from the domain details.
We've explained this procedure a bit further in a separate article on .uk transfers, because it is quite different from other TLDs.
Authorization code required
no
Method of confirmation
registrarpush
Registration period after transfer
unchanged
Average transfer time
Up to 45 days
Advanced and simple transfers available
Contact our Sales department to check if easy transfer of 100 or more .uk domains is available.
Outgoing transfer
To transfer a domain to another registrar, you first need to get that new registrar's so-called IPS tag. Once you have received this information
Navigate to the domain's details page and enter the IPS tag under the section
Change registrar tag. Be sure to copy/paste the full tag and leave upper- and lowercase unchanged. Clicking Submit tag change will send the tag change request to the registry.
Note that the new registrar still needs to accept the incoming domain. If an outgoing transfer does not succeed after submitting the new IPS tag, please contact the new registrar for more information.
Please note that once a TAG is submitted, it can not be undone. If you enter the wrong TAG you need to wait 5 days untill the current requetst times our or contact the Registrar to reject the current Tag change request.
Did you receive the error : "Transfer release failed: The tag 'XXXX' is unrecognized" In that case, the TAG is not correct. Be sure to copy/paste the full tag and leave upper- and lowercase unchanged. You can find an overview of all correct tags of all registrars here: https://registrars.nominet.uk/uk-namespace/registrar-agreement/list-of-registrars/
Note: When a domain is suspended by Nominet or locked (transfer lock enabled), IPS Tag change is not allowed, the following error may pop-up.
Error :
Object Status prohibits operation; V195 The following domain names may not be released due to a Nominet Process.
Update
Owner change (trade)
requested as a normal domain update via RCP or XML API or REST API
A trade of a .uk domain is done by updating the domain's owner contact.
Owner change is not allowed for .ltd.uk domains.
Nominet will send an e-mail to the current and new domain holder to inform them about the trade. Note that a new validation process may start, if Nominet was not able to verify the address automatically.
Other update
requested via RCP or XML API or REST API
A change of contact details can be done by updating the associated handles in the control panel. After saving the changes the domain name will be updated realtime.
If the e-mail address changes, Nominet may send a registration notice to the new domain holder, stating the domain names registered and their registration dates.
Deletion / Restore
Delete
If a domain name expires, it will be unavailable for a period of 90 days:
the first 30 days a general notice will be shown, after 30 days the domain name will be suspended and 60 days later the domain name becomes available for registration again.
The registrant will receive an e-mail from Nominet.
An explicit delete of a domainname will cause it to become detagged. This means that the contractual relationship will change towards the registry directly.
The domain will remain functional up to its original expiration date, after which it will expire.
After Quarantine, the domain will stay in a 5 day pendingDelete Period where the domain will br frozen by the registry before being purged from the registry database and becomes available for re-registration.
Restore / reactivate
If your .co.uk domain name expired on it's own you can restore it via RCP or XML API or REST API
If it was deleted manually, it will be detagged and reactivating it will need to be done by the registrant via the website of Nominet.

Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Important: As of June 18, 2026, .vn domain registrations and inbound transfers are temporarily not available via Openprovider. This is due to our registry provider discontinuing the sale of .vn domains. We are investigating whether this will be reinstated in the future and will update this article accordingly.
Successful domain registration viaRCP or XML API or REST API requires:
A .vn can be requested through the control panel.
Please note that if no Vietnamese address is used, proof of business relationship with Vietnam has to be send to support to complete the registration.
If the registrant is an individual, birth date of the registrant is required. In case of organizations, birth date of legal representative is needed.
ID / passport number of the domain holder for natural persons or VAT number for companies is required.
Transfer
Transfers are currently not possible through our control panel. Please contact support as we need to initiate a transfer manually. The following information is required:
Domain name
Owner, admin and tech handle
Nameservers
Authorisation code
Please note that a domain can only be transferred, if it has an expiry date more then 31 days in the future.
Important: Details in the transfer request must match the current domain details at the registry, as updates (nameserver changes) are not possible directly with a transfer. Also, please be aware that the change of name servers is NOT free of charge.
Authorization code required

.wf
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .wf domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
A domain name registration is realtime. It is required that the office/residence of the registrant is within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.. If you are registering the domain name with an individual as the owner you will need to supply the date, place and country of birth. The details of an individual registrant will be hidden in the whois automatically. The tech handle can not be a person, but needs to be a company handle. Registry AFNIC maintains a list of domain names to the "reserved" status, for example town and community names. Unfortunately we cannot see this status until the registration request, that will fail with a "2304, Object status prohibits operation" error.
Reserved domain names can be registered if the registrant has a legitimate interest, for example if the name is his company name. Please contact us in such case. The list is available at AFNIC's website.
IMPORTANT:
Domain Registration Restrictions: Online Gambling and Pharmacy-Related Terms:
In accordance with French law, it is strictly prohibited to offer online casino games or online sports betting on French territory without proper authorization. Additionally, to prevent fraudulent or non-compliant domain registrations, we have enforced a keyword-based restriction within our system across all AFNIC TLDs. This change aims to ensure compliance with French regulations and to protect users from illegal or misleading online activities.
Legal Background
Gambling and Betting Prohibitions
Under Articles L320-1 and L324-1 of the French Internal Security Code and Article 56 of Law No. 2010-476 of May 12, 2010, the following applies:
- Offering online casino games on French territory is strictly prohibited.
- Offering online sports betting without an appropriate license is also strictly prohibited.
The official list of approved and licensed operators can be consulted on Legifrance.
This restriction will apply to all TLDs (.fr, .re, .pm, .tf, .wf, .yt) under the AFNIC Registry.
Restricted Keywords - If a domain name includes any of the following terms, the registration will be automatically blocked:
Gambling / Betting Keywords

Implementation Details
- The restriction is enforced at the time of domain registration.
- Domains containing any restricted keyword will be rejected automatically.
- Registrants wishing to use a blocked term for legitimate reasons must contact support for manual review and provide appropriate company documentation and license proof.
Transfer
You can start a .wf domain transfer through our API or control panel. This transfer requires the following information:
an authorisation code that you need to request at your current provider.
a registrant contact handle with an address within EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
an admin contact handle
a tech contact handle - this can not be a person, but needs to be a company handle
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Once the transfer is started, it will be finished in maximum 22 days:
if the current registrar approves the transfer, the transfer will complete immediately;
if the current registrar does not approve nor reject the transfer, the transfer will complete after 8 days;
if the current registrar rejects the transfer within the first 8 days, the transfer will still complete automatically after 22 days.
If the domain holder wants to cancel an initiated transfer, only the gaining registrar (Openprovider, through you as a reseller) can do so; you can cancel the transfer from the transfer queue in your control panel. The registration period after a successful transfer restarts. The registry will not send an e-mail to the domain contacts after the transfer finishes.

.yt
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .yt domain names.
Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.
Registration
Successful domain registration requires:
Registrant contact require:
Located within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
For private individual
the date, place and country of birth (hidden in whois)
Technical contact must be a company
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
The registry will preform checks on the requirements above and contact the registrant in case the requirements are not met to ask for proof of identification data. (For example, the registrant seems to have an address outside the EU).
Proof of identification data contains:
- Business registration certificate
- The ID of the legal representative of the company
Registry AFNIC maintains a list of domain names to the "reserved" status, for example town and community names. Unfortunately we cannot see this status until the registration request, that will fail with a "2304, Object status prohibits operation" error.
Reserved domain names can be registered if the registrant has a legitimate interest, for example if the name is his company name. Please contact us in such case. The list is available at AFNIC's website.
IMPORTANT:
Domain Registration Restrictions: Online Gambling and Pharmacy-Related Terms:
In accordance with French law, it is strictly prohibited to offer online casino games or online sports betting on French territory without proper authorization. Additionally, to prevent fraudulent or non-compliant domain registrations, we have enforced a keyword-based restriction within our system across all AFNIC TLDs. This change aims to ensure compliance with French regulations and to protect users from illegal or misleading online activities.
Legal Background
Gambling and Betting Prohibitions
Under Articles L320-1 and L324-1 of the French Internal Security Code and Article 56 of Law No. 2010-476 of May 12, 2010, the following applies:
- Offering online casino games on French territory is strictly prohibited.
- Offering online sports betting without an appropriate license is also strictly prohibited.
The official list of approved and licensed operators can be consulted on Legifrance.
This restriction will apply to all TLDs (.fr, .re, .pm, .tf, .wf, .yt) under the AFNIC Registry.
Restricted Keywords - If a domain name includes any of the following terms, the registration will be automatically blocked:
Gambling / Betting Keywords
casino, gambling, betting, wager, gamesofchance, gamble, punt, stakes, onlinecasino, virtualcasino, casinowebsite, casinoplatform, livecasino, blackjack, poker, roulette, baccarat, craps, keno, slot, slots, videopoker, lottery, lotto, sweepstake, scratchcard, jackpot, raffle, sportsbook, bet365, parimutuel, bettingodds, livebetting, footballbet, casinobonus, welcomebonus, freespins, nodeposit, 100free, winbig, jeuxdargent, jeuxdecasino, parisportif, cotes, tirage, gagnerdelargent, bonuscasino, machinesasous, blackjackenligne, roulettenligne, pokeraargent, bet, bets, betonline, livebet, livebetting, footballbet, sportsbet, sportsbetting, bettingodds, bet365, bettips, bestbet, freebet, matchbet, placedbet, placingbet, parlay, stake, stakes, wager, wagers, wagering, odds, bookmaker, bookie, sportsbook, spreadbet, handicapbet, matchodds, betnow, winbet

In France, the medicine distribution chain is secure and under pharmaceutical supervision. Only an individual who holds a State Doctor of Pharmacy degree is authorized to open or acquire a pharmacy and to sell medicines, whether through a physical pharmacy or online.

https://www.ordre.pharmacien.fr/je-suis/patient-grand-public/rechercher-un-site-de-vente-en-ligne-autorise-a-vendre-des-medicaments
Implementation Details
- The restriction is enforced at the time of domain registration.
- Domains containing any restricted keyword will be rejected automatically.
- Registrants wishing to use a blocked term for legitimate reasons must contact support for manual review and provide appropriate company documentation and license proof.
Transfer
You can start a .yt domain transfer through our API or control panel. This transfer requires the following information:
an authorisation code that you need to request at your current provider.
a registrant that resides in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or any of the French overseas territories.
an admin contact handle
a tech contact handle - this can not be a person, but needs to be a company handle
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Once the transfer is started, it will be finished in maximum 22 days:
if the current registrar approves the transfer, the transfer will complete immediately;
if the current registrar does not approve nor reject the transfer, the transfer will complete after 8 days;
if the current registrar rejects the transfer within the first 8 days, the transfer will still complete automatically after 22 days.
If the domain holder wants to cancel an initiated transfer, only the gaining registrar (Openprovider, through you as a reseller) can do so; you can cancel the transfer from the transfer queue in your control panel. The registration period after a successful transfer restarts. The registry will not send an e-mail to the domain contacts after the transfer finishes.

Information about .CA domains reported as "Abusive"
The process that a.CA Registrant can follow to provide evidence if they have received a notification from the registry regarding abuse on their domain is outlined in the following article.
CIRA, the registry of .CA domains, actively monitors abuse on registered and active .CA domains.
When a domain is identified as phishing or used for malicious purposes, CIRA sends an email directly to the registrant of the domain name, notifying them about this.
The email body is somewhat like:
Please read the following carefully – your .CA domain name(s) could be suspended.
The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) has received complaints of malicious activity associated with a domain(s).
We have initiated an audit process to verify the information pertaining to the following:
Domain Name(s)*:
XXXXXXXX.CA
Registrant Name:
XXXXX XXXXX
Please note there may be more than one domain name associated with this registrant.
How can the domain registrant validate his/her data directly at the registry?
The registrant can provide information via a secure web form.
Documentation that 100% matches the domain data provided at the time of registration.
Documentation that demonstrates that the registrant meets CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements for Registrants Policy, with the category as selected at the time of registration.
What is considered acceptable documentation?
CIRA provides a list of acceptable documents that you can provide to validate frequently used Canadian presence categories.
The documentation provided to CIRA will be used solely for the purpose of this audit. Once the validation process is finalized, CIRA will destroy the submitted documentation. Personal information such as birth dates or passport numbers may be redacted when providing your documentation.
Transferring domains to another Registrant
Please note that during the process of verifying this information, all .CA domain name(s) associated with the registrant contact ID will be restricted.
The registrant will not be able to transfer or make any updates to the contact information until this process has been successfully completed.
What happens if documentation is not received?
If the requested documentation is not received prior to the deadline mentioned in the email, your .CA domain name registration(s) will be suspended.
This means that any email addresses or websites associated with the domain name(s) will no longer function. The domain name(s) will remain suspended for a period of 30 days, after which CIRA may delete your .CA domain name registration(s).

Registro
Un registro de un .com es a tiempo real y no requiere de datos especiales fuera de los contactos del titular, administrativo y técnico.
Ten en cuenta que, en cuanto a los requisitos de verificación de contacto de ICANN, estamos obligados a enviar un correo electrónico al propietario del dominio si su dirección de correo electrónico no se ha verificado anteriormente. Si no se responde a este correo electrónico, se puede suspender cualquier dominio gTLD con la misma dirección de correo electrónico en el contacto del propietario.
Transferencia
Aquí puedes ver el proceso para transferir un dominio .com:
Asegúrate de que el dominio no está bloqueado en el actual proveedor. El dominio solo puede ser transferido si el estado es "activo" y "ok".
Solicita la transferencia con el código de autorización del dominio.
Un email será enviado al propietario del dominio y al administrativo. Uno de los dos contactos deberá confirmar el mail para permitir la transferencia del dominio. Si el email no es confirmado durante los siguientes 14 días, la transferencia fallará.
Desde el momento en que el mail para la transferencia se ha confirmado, el actual proveedor tiene 5 días para permitir la transferencia. Si quieres acelerar el proceso contacta con el actual proveedor.
Si el actual proveedor no confirma la transferencia, el dominio se transferirá automáticamente en el sexto día después de confirmarse el email.

Importante de saber
- La fecha de expiración del dominio se extiende con una transferencia. No pierdes ningún día, el dominio será renovado por un año desde el momento en que se transfiera.
- Después de una transferencia o un nuevo registro, el dominio es bloqueado por el registro durante 60 días.
- Desde nuestro panel puedes cancelar o volver a solicitar una transferencia. Puedes hacerlo desde aquí.
- Mediante nuestro panel de control puedes comprobar el actual estado de la transferencia. Si vas aquí y clicas en el dominio, esto es lo que verás:
-
En la captura anterior también puedes ver que el mail para la transferencia (FOA) puede ser reenviado desde el panel.
Cambio de titular y otras actualizaciones
El cambio de propietario se hará sustituyendo el contacto propietario actual por el nuevo desde el panel de control. Después de guardar los cambios, el cambio se realizará en tiempo real. De la misma manera se cambiará el contacto administrativo y el técnico.
Eliminar dominio
Una eliminación es a tiempo real. Después de una eliminación, el dominio estará en estado de cuarentena durante 30 días. Durante este período, el dominio puede ser reactivado. Durante los siguientes 5 días después de los 30 días, el dominio estará en estado PendingDelete y al pasar estos 5 días, éste se eliminará.
Reactivación
Un .com puede ser reactivado sin costes extras durante los primeros 30 días. Después de esos 30 días se seguirá pudiendo reactivar pero esta gestión tendrá un coste. Después de 60 días de cuarentena el dominio ya no podrá reactivarse.

🇪🇸 .de - información adicional
Preparación de la transferencia: Se requiere el trustee para recibir el código de autorización
Si deseas hacer una transferencia .de desde un registrador que usa un servicio de trustee / domicilio local, puede pedirte la dirección local que vas a usar para el dominio como requisito para darte el código de autorización. Esto es necesario ya que el contacto administrativo debe contener una dirección alemana.
Esta es la información de la dirección que tiene que ser colocada (asegúrese de permitir el uso de nuestro servicio de trustee cuando inicie la transferencia, de lo contrario recibirá errores):
Domain Administrator
Registrar.eu
Flughafenallee 26
28199
Bremen
DE
no-mail@registrar.eu
+31.104482299
Preparación de la transferencia: No tengo el código de autorización
Si el registrador actual no puede o no quiere proporcionar el código de autorización de un dominio, Openprovider puede pedir al registro DENIC que envíe un código de autorización especial (llamado AuthInfo2) al titular del dominio (si es una dirección alemana) o al contacto administrativo (si el titular no tiene dirección alemana).
Proporcione a nuestro departamento de soporte todos los detalles del dominio (s) y nosotros lo iniciaremos para usted. El precio por código AuthInfo2 es de € 25,00 sin IVA. Tenga en cuenta que un código AuthInfo2 es válido por sólo 30 días.
Finalizando la transferencia: Los contactos o DNS no han sido actualizados
Después de transferir un dominio .de, los detalles introducidos se aplicarán al nombre de dominio .de.
DENIC (.de) hace una comprobación de DNS antes de que se apliquen los cambios. Si los servidores de nombres no pasan por el check, no habrá cambios en el dominio. La transferencia será exitosa, pero el whois no se actualizará.
¿Cómo arreglar esto?
Compruebe sus servidores de nombres en: https://rcp.openprovider.eu/dns/check.php
No debe haber errores fatales. Si los hay arréglalos y vuelve a probarlo.
Cuando no haya errores fatales vuelve a la página del dominio y actualízalo. De esta manera se enviará la información de nuevo al registro del .de.
Cancelación de dominio
Cuando se cancela un dominio .de en Openprovider, el titular del nombre de dominio puede recibir una factura de DENIC directamente.
Oficialmente, el titular del nombre de dominio debe cancelar el nombre de dominio escribiendo a DENIC, de lo contrario DENIC asume el nombre de dominio después de una solicitud de cancelación de Openprovider. Puede ver este estado como cuarentena.
El titular del nombre de dominio tiene la posibilidad de transferir el nombre de dominio de DENIC a un registrador que sea de su elección:
Https://direct.secure.denic.de/en/direct-forms/
No hay obligación de pago a DENIC en este estado si el cliente ya no desea el nombre de dominio. Después de un tiempo el nombre de dominio será cancelado.
