.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.
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 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.

.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.

Ensure the ‘Legal Type’ field in Additional Data is set correctly—otherwise, you may encounter errors like “Required parameter missing.”
It may take up to five minutes for the WHOIS to update.
Note: Nameservers should have unique IP addresses

.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
no
Method of confirmation

Registration period after transfer

Average transfer time

Contact our Sales department to check if easy transfer of 100 or more .co.za domains is available.
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:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
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.

Common Errors:
Error: 'The provided registrantID value for the provided registrantID type is blocked by the registry'. Solution: This can happen if the entity type is company and ABN number is provided. In such case try with ACN number instead of ABN number. A company’s ABN is often the same as the ACN but with 2 extra numbers at the beginning. Refer to the link for more information about ABN and ACN.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
Authorization code
Please note that before initiating the transfer, you must obtain a signed request from the registrant. The Form of Authorization (FOA) must be provided to you, as the reseller, in document format (PDF or DOC) and must include the registrant’s signature.
Once you have received the signed FOA from the registrant, you may submit the transfer request to us by email, attaching the signed document.
Initiate the transfer on time and not just shortly before the domain expires.

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.

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

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.

.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

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:
Registrar.eu
Flughafenallee 26
28199
Bremen
DE
no-mail@registrar.eu
+31.104482299
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.

.dev
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .dev 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
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.

.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 mid-August 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.
Authorization code required
no (registrant managed)/ Yes - coming mid August (registrar-managed)

Contact our Sales department to check if easy transfer of 100 or more .dk domains is available.
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 July 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.

Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, technical)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
After the registration of a domain (or a transfer or update to a new contact), the registry will send an e-mail to the domain contacts, informing them that their personal data was entered in the registry's system:
Within 30 days from the date of entering your data into the main .PL domain Registry, it is necessary to conclude an agreement for a .pl domain registration, registration of option or activities with the aim to conclude it. Otherwise, your data will be removed from the main .PL domain Registry
Your customer can safely ignore this e-mail, it's for informational purposes only.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or API requires:
authorization code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
confirmation email sent by the .pl Registry to the registrant contact must be confirmed within 5 days.
Openprovider can not inform you to which email address the .PL Registry has sent the transfer confirmation email, since the whois is no longer publicly available. Please contact the current registrar to check which email address is set as registrant email address which will receive the transfer confirmation email. This email can not be re-send.
Transfer can be initiated within 5 days after domain registration/previous transfer.

.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:

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

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

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.

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.

Registration
Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
At least 2 pre-configured nameservers. You can verify whether your fi-domain name is configured to name servers in accordance with Traficom's requirements here.
Finnish private individuals:
social security number
passport/ID number
state/province
Finnish companies

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.)

.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.
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

if the current registrar does not approve/reject the transfer, it completes after 8 days
if the current registrar rejects the transfer within the first 8 days, it completes after 22 days
If the holder wants to cancel an initiated transfer, only the gaining registrar (Openprovider) can do so; you can cancel the transfer from the transfer queue in RCP.

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.

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.

.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
Transfer not allowed less than 60 days after domain registration

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:

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.
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.
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.

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.

.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.
Other update

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

Registration

two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Administrative contact must be private person.
Latvian registrants need their identification number - Latvia Personal Code (private individuals) or company registration number and VAT number (companies).

YYMMDD-CNNNN where first 6 digits form a birth date of the individual, and the first one after the hyphen, C, stands for a century: 0 for XIX, 1 for XX and 2 for those born in XXI century;
32NNNN[-]NNNNN: from July 2017, a new format of personal code became available, containing eleven digits, first two being 32 and having an optional - after the first six digits.
Always indicate real data of registrant, avoid setting ZIP as '000000', address as 'german german', always use real and correct state, province, city. Do not set fake data to avoid domain revocation. If you use fake data registry may suspend your domain until registry receive real documents proving your ID. Domain owner will receive email notification in a case of fake data usage.
Please note: In case of false information, the registry can request the delation of the domain. In this case a refund will not be applicable.
IMPORTANT: Generic subdomain .edu.lv can be registered only by accredited educational institutions in Latvia. You can check this information at www.nic.lv/en/generic-subdomains
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
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
authorisation code
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
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.
Transfer is automatically approved after 5 days if not rejected by the current registrar or the domain holder. The transfer will be immediately approved if the current registrar approves the transfer explicitly.
The registry will not send an e-mail to the domain contacts after the transfer finishes.

Deletion / Restore
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.

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.

Two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Additional notes on a .ml transfer
The .ml registry has two platforms: a manual platform and an EPP platform. Transfers of domains that are registered on the EPP platform are handled realtime; transfers of domans that are registered on the manual platform can take up to a few weeks to be processed, due to slow uptake by the registry. If a domain is not transferred instantly, consider it a manual transfer with corresponding delays. Unfortunately it is not possible to see this before you start the transfer.
Authorization code required
yes
Method of confirmation

Registration period after transfer

See transfer notes
Advanced and simple transfers available
Contact our Sales department to check if easy transfer of 100 or more .ml domains is available.
Outgoing transfer
The transfer code for outgoing transfers can be requested via the support department --> support@openprovider.com
After the code has been manually requested by the support department, it can take 1 / 2 business day before the code is received and can be added to the detail page of the domain name in your control panel.

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:
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
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.

The registrant must be informed about the fact that this extension is a secure namespace and as a result, a correctly configured SSL certificate is required before a domain can be loaded in a web browser (HSTS preload list).
Any .new domain will need to be live within 100 days of registration or will be deemed non-compliant with the registration policy.
The domain must resolve to action generation or online creation flows. Once resolved, the user should be able to 'create' something without any further navigation. Already launched examples from Google include docs.new and slides.new, which resolve to a new document creation page.

.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

Make sure to correct the data in the used handles, before processing a domain update.
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
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:

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.

.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.
Transfer
Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:
Authorisation code
Two or more nameservers or a nameserver group (maximum of 5 nameservers)

During the transfer period which can take 6 days, the current provider or the owner can reject to the transfer.

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:

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.

"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.

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.
.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.

.pm
This article describes the procedures and requirements of .pm 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 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:

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 in ACP.
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.
Note :
The transfer will not initiate an owner change.
You need to transfer the domain using the handle which matches exactly with the current owner.

This article describes the procedures and requirements of .re domain names.

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:

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.

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.
Legal entity

- Social Security Numbers or Personal Identification Numbers that do not conform to the expected format of the selected country.
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.
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.
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.
Restore / reactivate
restore / reactivation supported via RCP or XML API or REST API
quarantine periods can be found under

.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
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/les-sites-autorises-de-vente-en-ligne-de-medicaments)

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. 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.
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.

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.

Object Status prohibits operation; V195 The following domain names may not be released due to a Nominet Process.

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.

ID / passport number of the domain holder for natural persons or VAT number for companies is required.

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.

.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
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/les-sites-autorises-de-vente-en-ligne-de-medicaments)
You can find on the following page the list of authorized websites permitted to sell medicines 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 .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.

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.

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.
Más información sobre este estado se puede encontrar en:

.DE Domain Risk Assessment and Identity Verification Process
Overview
DENIC (the .DE registry) introduces automated risk assessment for:
New registrations
Transfers
Owner changes
Contact updates
The registry evaluates the domain holder’s name and address. If flagged, identity verification is required.
1. What’s Changing
Previously, checks were manual. Now, DENIC uses an automated algorithm.
Evaluated data:
Holder name
Holder address
Individual vs organization
If data looks suspicious:
DENIC → sends poll message
Openprovider → emails reseller
2. Risk Levels
Low Risk
Domain works normally, and no action is needed.
Suspicious
Domain works normally, verification required within 30 days
If not completed:
+7 day grace period
Domain deleted permanently after a 90 day quarantine period
Important:
Existing domains being updated, transferred, or assigned to a new owner can only receive a maximum classification of “Suspicious”
Domain remains active during verification
High Risk
Domain immediately on hold
New domains stay in pending create and not activated righ away.
Typical reason: highly suspicious or false holder data.
3. Verification Timeline
For Suspicious Cases
Stage
Timeline
Result
Verification requested
Day 0
Reseller receives email from Openprovider
Initial deadline
Within 30 days
Verification must be completed
Grace period
Additional 7 days
Final chance to verify
Quarantine
Up to 90 days
Domain stops resolving
Final deletion
After quarantine
Domain is permanently deleted
Notes:
DNS stays stored during quarantine
No Redemption Grace Period
Transfers do NOT reset deadlines
Previous verification does NOT carry over
4. Responsibilities
Openprovider
Reseller
Sends reseller email with:
• Domain name
• Holder details
• Deadline• Instructions
Must:
• Contact customer
• Confirm holder details
• Collect supporting proof
• Send confirmation to Openprovider
5. Required Documents
Individuals
Organizations
Must verify:
• Person exists
• Address belongs to them
Accepted:
• Passport
• National ID
• Driver’s license
• Utility bill
• Bank statement
Best practice:
• Govt ID to verify name
• Utility bill/bank statement for address
Must verify:
• Legal existence
• Correct address
Accepted:
• Business register extract
• Articles of association
• Partnership agreement
• Founding documents
• Utility bill
• Bank statement
Best practice:
• Use business registration documents to verify the organization
6. DENIC Direct Communications
DENIC contacts the holder directly:
Stage
DENIC Communication
Before Quarantine
Dedelegation Warning→ Risk of domain going offline
During Quarantine
Dedelegation Information→ Domain is offline
Before Deletion
Notice of Termination→ Domain will be deleted
Important:
Sent by DENIC (not Openprovider)
May be sent by post if email fails
Customers may contact you
7. If Verification Fails
Openprovider informs DENIC
DENIC grants 7 day final period
90-day quarantine
Domain stops resolving
Permanent deletion
Impact:
If multiple domains using same contact → all affected
8. Upcoming Automation (KYC/KYB)
Expected: Coming soon
New Flow
Step 1 – Reseller Notification
Informational only
No immediate action required
Step 2 – Customer Verification
Email from:
noreply@registrar.eu
White-label (includes reseller name)
Secure upload link
→ Customer uploads documents directly
What Changes for Resellers
You no longer need to:
Collect documents
Store documents
Send proof manually
Step 3 – Pre-Verified Holders
Openprovider auto-submits data
Higher chance of Low Risk
Step 4 – New Dashboard
RCP → Contact Verifications
You can:
View open verification requests
Track status
Monitor deadlines
9. Recommended Actions
Inform customers about increased verification
Keep contact details accurate
Monitor Openprovider emails
Train support teams on DENIC notices
Act quickly on requests
Best practice:
Verified and accurate holder information should result in a low risk classification and avoid any service disruption.
9. Frequently Asked Questions
Will the domain stop working immediately?
Only high risk cases are placed on hold immediately. Suspicious cases continue working during the 30-day verification period.
Can a transfer avoid the verification deadline?
No. Transferring the domain to another registrar does not reset the deadline.
Does previous verification with another registrar count?
No. DENIC requires verification through the current registrar process.
What happens during quarantine?
The domain no longer resolves, but DNS records remain stored.
Is there a redemption period after deletion?
No. Once deleted after quarantine, the domain cannot be recovered through a redemption grace period.
Can several domains be affected at once?
Yes. If multiple .DE domains use the same contact details, all of them may be affected together.
.be - Internal transfer
Question
What procedure to follow with .be transfers which are marked as "Internal transfer"?
Answer
In the case of an internal transfer, a notification is shown during the transfer process stating "Internal Transfer". This means that the domain is already registered with Openprovider but with another reseller and requires a different approach.
When doing an internal transfer our system is directly getting all the current data of handles and DNS.
To process an internal .be transfer, please follow the steps below:
A successful internal transfer requires:
Either Internal authorization code or the external authorization code can be used.
trade (owner-change) is not allowed during an internal transfer
A so-called internal authorization code can be requested by the current Openprovider reseller through the Authorization Code Management page in his control panel, selecting the option "internal authorization code".
In case you don't have the internal auth-code or if the current reseller is not willing to provide it, you can use the external auth code obtained from the registry (via email, sent to the registrant).
Be aware! A trade (owner change) is not allowed during an internal transfer. If the owner needs to change, a trade can be processed after the intern transfer. Make sure you use handles that match the current registrant.
If non-matching data is used during an internal transfer, future updates on the domain may fail.
The domain holder can provide you with the correct current data.
.co.za domain is in pendingUpdate status after a nameserver change

Domain's nameservers in RCP differ from the ones available in whois output
Domain failed the registry's nameserver check.
Cause
The nameservers that have been assigned to a domain didn't pass the configuration check by the registry. A corresponding notification and an email (subject: [Openprovider] example.co.za: nameservers check) was sent to the reseller indicating the problem. Example email notification:
Domain: example.co.za
Action: nameservers check
Status: ACT
Order date: 2025-09-03
Activation date: 2025-09-03
Renewal date: 2026-09-02
Expiration date: 2026-09-03
Comments: the nameserver configuration is invalidated; for more
information, please refer to the registry message below
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registry message
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domain 'example.co.za' nameserver check failed after '1 week 1 day', issue
a nameserver update to recheck
Resolution
Some registries (ZACR included) require nameservers to be pre-configured upon domain registration. If their validation fails, the domain will be assigned to the nameservers of the registry.
Check the configuration of your nameservers, make sure they are available and the DNS zone for the domain is properly created and reissue a domain update via RCP or API.
.de - Frequent DNS update errors
Frequent error codes returned by NAST nameserver checker:
Error 901 - Nameserver refuses to answer
Solution: check that the zone actually exists on the nameserver that was assigned to a domain
Error 902 - Domain update failed. Timeout (target)
Solution: Check that the nameservers are online and can respond to UDP based DNS requests. TCP based DNS requests are supported too, but should be used as a fallback approach towards prior failed UDP requests only.
Error 903 -Timeout with recursive resolver
Solution: Internal Timeout – Please try again
Error 904 - Port is unreachable
Solution: Target not listening at UDP Port 53, make sure port is setup and opened
Error 999 - Unexpected exception
This code means that the DNS query failed.
Solution : Please contact Business Services. (NOTE: NS was not accessible over UDP/TCP on port 53)
Error 107 - Insufficient diversity of nameserver' s IPaddresses
Solution: One nameserver should differ completely from another by using different IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Configure your nameservers with different IP addresses.
Error 110 - SOA ‘retry’ value is less than the recommended one
Solution: increase the retry value of the SOA record (4)
Error 118 - nameserver entries (NS records) in the DNS entry for the corresponding domain do not match the nameservers specified for the domain
Solution: Review the NS (nameserver) records specified in the zone file and make sure it matches with the nameservers entered for the domain.
Error 133 - Domain update failed: failed, Nameserver error: ERROR: 133 Answer must be authoritative.
Solution: Nameservers must provide an authoritative reply when queried. Make sure that the zone file for the domain is correctly configured in the nameservers, and the NS records are matching between the parent (TLD) nameservers and the child zone.

.es Trade
Question
How to make a trade (change of owner) for a .es?
Answer
To change the owner of a .es domain, it is necessary that the domain owner or the administrative contact request such a change in ESNIC. Below we explain the steps to follow to start a change of ownership.
Before you start first you must make sure that the contact that will be the new owner of the domain has an identifier created in ESNIC. To do this you must contact us. You must send us the Openprovider contact (something like RF543535-ES) of the new owner and we will confirm if it is already created or, where appropriate, we will create it and send it to you in order to be used.
Once you have the new handle, log in here with the administrative or owner handle and password. If you do not have the password you must request it on this website and ESNIC will send it to you by e-mail. If you do not know the handle of the owner or administrative contact you can look for it in the whois.
IMPORTANT: if you create the admin handle in Openprovider, do not fill in the "company" field; let it blank.
Once in, click on Domain Transfer Request. In this section enter the handle of the new owner and the administrative contact (PCA).
If you have logged in with the administrative contact, you must add a copy of the ID card (DNI in Spain), since this must be a person with name and surname.
If you have logged in with the contact of the owner, you must add a copy of the ID card (DNI in Spain) if the holder is a natural person or a copy of the CIF / NIF if the holder is a company.
Once the ID is added, you will see this notification:
And you will receive this email to the address of the administrative contact, which you must confirm:
Confirm the change of owner.
In this step, you must click on "Registrar agent" and click on REGISTRAR.EU. This is very important because if you do not mark it, the domain will be transferred to the registry and will no longer be in Openprovider.
Once the ID is added again, you will see this notification.
At this time, the process depends on the registrar agent, that is, on Openprovider. Please send us an email to support@openprovider.com with the domain name so we can confirm the change. If the ownership change is not approved within 10 days, the domain will be automatically transferred to the registry.
Once the change is confirmed, it will be in the hands of the registry. When the registry accepts it, the change will take place.
Please, be aware that the registrant or admin should manage this trade process.
In case this is really no option, the support department of Openprovider can assist for additional fee of 60 euros.

Annual Registrant Email Verification for NIS2 Compliance
As required by various country registries and in alignment with the EU NIS2 Directive, we have implemented an annual email verification process for specific country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs). This process ensures that Registrant contact data associated with domains under your management remains accurate and compliant with registry and EU requirements.
What’s Happening:
We will send out annual reminder emails to Registrants of the mentioned ccTLDs, requesting them to verify the accuracy of their contact details. The email will be sent directly to the Registrant contact email address listed for each domain. This e-mail can be personalized, as described https://support.openprovider.eu/hc/en-us/articles/360016417214-Customize-whois-data-reminder-e-mails-to-end-users-WDRP
The following country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) and their second-level domains (SLDs) are included in the annual verification:
Country TLD(s)
Austria .at, .co.at, .or.at
Belgium .be
Denmark .dk
Germany .de
Finland .fi
Italy .it
Latvia .lv
Lithuania .lt
Hungary .hu
Croatia .hr
Romania .ro
Slovakia .sk
USA .us
India .in
Sweden .se, .nu
Poland .pl
France & Territories .fr, .re, .pm, .yt, .tf, .wf
Why is this required?
To comply with NIS2 Directive and registry data accuracy regulations.
To ensure domain ownership transparency.
To prevent fraudulent or inaccurate domain registrations.
Automatic renewal of domains
Question
How to set up automatic domain renewal?
Answer
Domain names can be automatically renewed. This saves you a lot of work because you do not need to renew each domain individually when it reaches its expiration date.
Your account will have a default auto-renew setting that will be applied to all domain registrations when you register them.
Account automatic renewal settings can be viewed and changed from the Openprovider Control Panel: Account >> Account Overview >> Settings >> Auto-renew
We recommend keeping the Auto-renew on at all times. The costs for accidentally renewing a domain name are far lower than the potential cost and headache that is caused by accidentally not renewing a domain name.
It is possible to set auto-renew setting per domain. Navigate to Domain Overview and change the auto-renew setting of the specific domain name to one of the following three options:
Default: This setting will take the default account setting and renew domain names accordingly. If you have auto-renew disabled for your account, then all domains with the setting 'Default' will not be automatically renewed. If your auto-renew setting for your account is enabled, then all domains with the setting 'Default' will be automatically renewed.
On: This domain will be automatically renewed.
Off: This domain will not be automatically renewed.
Switch these states by clicking on the icon in the Domain Overview in your account, making it easy to change the configuration where needed.
To renew a domain name directly, click on the green arrow icon in the Renew column. Be aware, this action is real-time and can not be reversed.
Backordering / Reserving / Drop catching domains
Question
How to register a domain which becomes available again?
Do you provide drop catching services / a reservation / backorder system?
Answer
A domain can be registered once it becomes available in the whois. At that moment, the control panel and API will accept the registration request.
Openprovider does not offer any drop catching services or a reservation service. Drop catching via the Openprovider API is not allowed, see article 9.2 of the terms & conditions
If drop catching activities are detected by our monitoring, the reseller account may be blocked.
It is also not possible to restore a domain which is currently in quarantine at an other Openprovider reseller unless this is the request of the current registrant. (proof needs to be submitted))
Bulk operations
Question
I want to perform a change on multiple domains, what can I do if I don't want to / cannot use Openprovider API?
Answer
Openprovider RCP offers a tool designed just for that purpose. By starting a new operation on Domain management > Bulk operation one can easily perform changes and transfers on domains without having to resort to the API.
NOTE :
To ensure good system stability, right now only 50 domains can be processed in bulk, we are actively working on improving this limit while making sure the new limit works for all the TLDs and registries.
If you want to process more than 50 domains, you can use our API and divide the domains into batches of 50.
Currently, the tool offers convenient domain transfers or modifications of the following domain attributes:
Domain owner contact
Administrative contact
Technical contact
Billing contact
Reseller contact
Nameserver and DNSSEC settings
Auto-renew status
WPP (Whois Privacy Protection)
The following modification is not included in the bulk operations:
Domain forwarding
Domain locking / unlocking
Requesting bulk authcodes
Cambio de titular .es
Pregunta
¿Cómo puedo cambiar el titular de un .es?
Respuesta
Para cambiar el titular de un dominio .es es necesario que el propietario del dominio o el contacto administrativo soliciten tal cambio en ESNIC. A continuación explicamos los pasos que hay que seguir para iniciar un cambio de titular.
Antes de empezar primero debes asegurarte que el contacto que va a ser el nuevo propietario del dominio tiene un identificador creado en ESNIC. Para ello debes contactar con nosotros a soporte@openprovider.es. Debes pasarnos el contacto de Openprovider (algo tipo RF543535-ES) del nuevo titular y nosotros te confirmaremos si ya está creado o, en su caso, te lo crearemos y te lo pasaremos para que lo puedas usar.
Una vez tengas el nuevo identificador, entra aquí con el identificador y la contraseña del contacto administrativo o del actual propietario del dominio. En caso de no tener la contraseña debes solicitarla en esta misma página web y ESNIC te la enviará por e-mail. Si desconoces el identificador del propietario del dominio o del contacto administrativo puedes buscarlo en el whois.
IMPORTANTE: Si quieres entrar en ESNIC con el contacto administrativo, éste debe ser un contacto individual, es decir, deberás dejar la casilla "empresa" vacía.
3. Una vez dentro, haz clic en Solicitud Transmisión de dominio. En este apartado introduce el identificador del nuevo titular y del contacto administrativo (PCA).
Si has accedido con el contacto administrativo, deberás añadir una copia del DNI, ya que éste deberá ser una persona con nombre y apellidos.
Si has accedido con el contacto del titular, deberás añadir una copia del DNI si el titular es una persona física o una copia del CIF/NIF si el titular es una empresa.
Una vez añadido el DNI, verás esta notificación:
Y recibirás este email a la dirección del contacto administrativo, que deberás confirmar:
Confirma el cambio de titular.
En este paso, deberás clicar en "Agente registrador" y marcar REGISTRAR.EU. Esto es muy importante ya que si no lo marcas, el dominio se transferirá al registro y dejará de estar en Openprovider.
Una vez añadido el DNI de nuevo, verás esta notificación.
En este momento, el proceso depende del agente de registro, es decir, Openprovider.
Por favor contáctenos creando un ticket aquí (o enviando un email a soporte@openprovider.es) con el nombre de dominio para que podamos confirmar el cambio. IMPORTANTE: Si el cambio de titular no se aprueba en un plazo de 10 días, el dominio se transferirá automáticamente al registro.
Una vez confirmado el cambio, estará en manos del registro. Cuando el registro lo acepte, el cambio se llevará a cabo.
Cancelling or deleting a domain name
Question
How a domain can be cancelled or deleted?
Answer
If the option to automatically renew a domain name is not used then it will be deleted on the expiration date in Openprovider, causing the domain name to become available for registration or entering quarantine.
It is possible to choose to cancel a domain name before the expiration date in Openprovider.
Via Control Panel: navigate to the details of the domain name through your domain name management and click the Delete/Bin button.
Via API:
REST API request - https://docs.openprovider.com/doc/domain.swagger#operation/DeleteDomain
XML API request - https://doc.openprovider.eu/API_Module_Domain_deleteDomainRequest
Some domains can be reactivated after being deleted/expired. In the Request queue for restores one can see all domain names that can be reactivated. Please note that some TLDs charge for reactivation procedure.
To reduce the costs of reactivation the functionality called 'Soft Quarantine' has been implemented, you can read all about here.
Please review also our renewal policies.
There are no refunds provided for domains that are deleted after a successful registration, renewal or transfer. Once activated at the registry, a deletion will not result in a refund for any remaining period.
In case a domain is flagged by the Registry or Registrar due to suspicious registrant details or fraud and eventually revoked, will also not result in any refund for the remaining period.
Changing the owner of a domain name
Question
How to change the owner of a domain name?
Answer
The owner of a domain name can generally be changed through RCP by simply going to Domain Management and editing the domain owner handle. Please check the TLD documentation to check on the procedure for the domain name you are trying to trade.
Some TLDs allow to change the owner of a domain name by navigating to the domain name and clicking Edit on the top-right of the page. On the following page you can replace the owner as if you were registering a new domain and then click the Save button on the bottom-right.
Other TLDs however do not allow you to change the owner this easily, a special procedure is required in these cases. This procedure can be initiated by navigating to Trade in the control panel and inserting the domain name.
Please check our TLD documentation for the procedure concerning your trade to make sure you know what to expect.
How to update domains in a bulk from one registrant?
It is possible to change the owner of some domains at the same time from Domain management / Bulk operations. By clicking on Start New / Modify domains you will be able to add a list of domains and then update the owner in bulk.
Common errors when submitting a transfer request
Possible errors :
ERROR: Cannot add duplicate domain (domain already exists in your account)
If you started a transfer (or registration) request for a domain in the past, you can not add another request for the same domain name until you have removed the old request.
In that case, you can find the old request in your control panel under:
- Domain management > Request queue transfers and trades (in case of a previous transfer attempt) or
- Domain management > Request queue new registrations (in case of a previous registration attempt)
There you can cancel the old request or re-request it again using the previous submitted data (handles, nameservers and authorization code)
ERROR: "Authorization code is invalid" OR "Invalid authorization information"
Cause: the registry is not accepting the transfer due to an invalid transfer code. Some transfer codes are only valid for a limited period, the code could be reset in the meantime by the registry or you are using an internal transfer code, when you need to use an external code or vise versa.
ERROR: The domain is too young
Cause: after a transfer or a new registration, a domain is locked by the registry during 60 days. During those 60 days, the domain cannot be transferred to another registrar. The only option is to wait until the domain is "old" enough to be transferred. You can find the registration date of the domain in the whois.
Additional notes
Current expiration date of the domain is extended after the transfer finishes. One does not lose any registration period; instead, the domain will get an additional year to the current expiration date. We will charge one year domain fee.
After a transfer or a new registration, a domain is locked by the registry during 60 days. During those 60 days, the domain cannot be transferred to another registrar.
Through our control panel, you can cancel or re-request a transfer. You can do it here:
In RCP you can check the current status of a transfer. Navigate to Domain overview and click on the domain to retrieve its full details.
Example in case the transfer requires an e-mail to be confirmed by the domain contact(s):
Example in case no e-mail address was available and the transfer has been initiated at the registry directly:
Customise contact verification page for gTLDs
Openprovider allows you to customize the e-mails that we send whenever we start contact verification. One of the customization elements is the confirmation page. By setting up your own confirmation page, you can redirect your customers directly from the verification e-mail to your own portal.
NB: customization is not limited to just one template: you can use the multi-language and multi-tag features that Openprovider supports. More information about setting up your customers to use the right template and language can be found elsewhere in our knowledge base.
Configuration
First of all, configure your customer verification branding and include a Confirmation link to your own website. This confirmation link can be anything, as long as you include the two most important variables:
%%email%% is the e-mail address to be verified
%%authCode%% is a security code to prevent abuse
Two examples of a valid URL would then be:
https://www.example.com/contact-verification/confirm.php?email=%%email%%&authCode=%%authCode%%
https://verify.example.com/%%email%%/%%authCode%%/
Handling verification responses
Basically, your script should call the callback script of Openprovider with the right variables: email, authCode and approval. The approval variable should contain yes or no:
https://cp.openprovider.eu/misc.php/email/emailVerificationCallback/?email=%%email%%&authCode=%%authCode%%&approve=%%approval%%
There are many ways to accomplish this, one of the approaches is written in an example PHP script below. This script displays a very basic form and asks for an approval or reject. Having that answer, it calls the Openprovider server:
';
}
?>
Verify e-mail address
There are four possible responses:
If an approval is successfully processed, the response is:
status=Ok;
message= Email address has been verified.
If a rejection is successfully processed, the response is:
status=Rejected;
message= Email address has not been verified.
If the request is invalid (wrong email), the response is:
status=Error;
message= There is no such email address in our system.
If the request is invalid (wrong authCode), the response is:
status=Error;
message= AuthCode is wrong for this operation.
If an other error occurred, the response is:
status=Error;
message= Bad input data.
Configure SPF Record
For example, your domain is example.com.
Set a TXT (SPF) record for example.com to:
v=spf1 include:mail.registrar.eu ?all
Set the CNAME record for
default._domainkey.example.com to:
dkim.registrar.eu
E-mail authentication
Don't forget to authenticate your domain with Openprovider to send emails that appear to come directly from your domain, instead of from our servers.
You will be prompted to perform this procedure from the Contact verification branding page as shown in the image above, however, if forgotten, please follow the instructions:
Navigate to Account > Settings > E-mail authentication page in RCP.
Click on Add domain and add your example.com domain.
Click on the Authenticate button once you have added the domain.
If you would like to use a custom DKIM identifier, please refer to How to use non 'default' DKIM identifier.
Customised contact verification emails don't reach domain owners
Symptoms
Domain registrants (owners) don't get ICANN-required verification emails if Custom Contact verification branding has been set up.
Cause
The domain that is to be used (or rather to have the appearance of using) to send emails (that otherwise would come directly from Openprovider addresses) is not authenticated within our infrastructure:
Resolution
You will be prompted to perform this procedure from Contact verification branding page, however, if forgotten, please follow the instructions:
Navigate to Account > Settings > E-mail authentication page in RCP
Click on Add domain and add your domain which will be used as the E-mail sender in contact verification emails.
Click on the Authenticate button once you have added the domain.
If you would like to use a custom DKIM identifier, please refer to How to use non 'default' DKIM identifier.
Customize renewal / expiration reminder e-mails to end users (ERRP)
For a more visual explanation and deeper info about e-mail customization or "white labeling", our blog post is a must-read!
For many extensions, Openprovider is required to send expiration / renewal reminders to the domain holder as long as the domain has not yet been renewed:
the first one around 30 days before the domain's expiration date
the second one around 7 days before the domain's expiration date
the last one after expiration of the domain
ICANN requires us to do so for all gTLDs (like .com, .info, .shop and .amsterdam). Those e-mails are called "ERRP", which stands for "Expired Registration Recovery Policy".
The white label tools of Openprovider allow you to personalize these e-mails. You can customize the lay-out and send them from your own e-mail address. This is done via the reseller control panel, page Account > Settings > ERRP branding. The following elements can be customized:
Subject of the e-mail. You can write it in your own language, make it less formal, or any other change. You can add the domain name in it by using the variable %%domainName%%. An example might be: "Notification about domain renewal for %%domainName%%"
From address. Use your support department's e-mail address here, for example. Any valid e-mail address is allowed.
Reseller name. If you do not want to use your own reseller name, provide here another name.
E-mail body. You are completely free in styling your e-mail. The only requirement is that there you must include the variable %%expirationDate%% in the e-mail - this will be replaced by the domain's expiration date. Optional variables that you can use are the resellerName, domainName and customerName.
You can review the changes immediately in the example e-mails below the form. If everything is according to your wishes, press the Save button. Your customers will now receive the personalized white label e-mails.
Customize transfer confirmation e-mails template (FOA)
Question
How to customize the transfer confirmation e-mails to end users (FOA)?
Answer
NB: Please, note that, as a result of GDPR, many registries and registrars do no longer show e-mail addresses in the whois since the 25th of May 2018. For domains without (valid) e-mail address for registrant or administrative contact, the transfer confirmation e-mail (FOA) for an incoming transfer is not sent. The FOA for an outgoing transfer is always sent.
For a more visual explanation and deeper info about e-mail customization or "white labeling", refer to this blog post.
Any transfer of a generic top level domain (gTLD) needs to be approved by the domain owner or administrative contact via a link that he receives by e-mail. This e-mail is called "Form of Authorization", in short FOA. The FOA is pre-defined by ICANN, but allows for a bit of customization and personalization (white labeling). This is done via the reseller control panel, page Account > Settings > FOA branding. The following elements can be customized:
Subject of the e-mail. Can be written in your own language, make it less formal, or any other change. You can add the domain name in it by using the variable %%domain%%. An example might be:
Important: approve the transfer of %%domain%%
From address. Use your support department's e-mail address here, for example. Any valid e-mail address is allowed.
URL to terms and conditions. If you want to link to your own terms and conditions, you can provide the URL.
Confirmation link. In the e-mail, a link is included that the end user can click to confirm the transfer.
Reseller name. If you do not want to use your own reseller name, provide here another name.
You can review the changes immediately in the example e-mails below the form. If everything is according to your wishes, press the Save button. Your customers will now receive the personalized white label e-mails.
Domain is locked for transfer after registration
Question
The domain has clientTransferProhibited status in WHOIS despite the fact that it was not locked manually via RCP or API.
$ whois domain.tld
...
Flags:
clientTransferProhibited
Answer
Openprovider locks all new domains by default for TLDs that support this functionality.
Openprovider decided to enable this feature by default in order to minimise receiving unsolicited transfer requests. By ‘locking’ a particular domain name, the client doesn’t receive any unnecessary requests, as well as staying confident that the domain is safe and sound.
If you wish to transfer-out the domain, go to the detail page of the domain name and click "unlock domain" or request the update via the API.
Be aware that some TLDs (mainly gTLDs like .com, .net .org etc) may not be transferred in the first 60 days after registration or after transfer. This is prohibited. This setting can not be updated via the control panel nor via the support department. The only option is to wait 60 days and initiate the transfer again.
Domain registration
Question
How to register a domain?
Answer
Registering a domain from the control panel is very easy.
In order to register a domain you should follow these steps:
1. Go to Domains Overview> Domain registration.
2. Search the domain you want. You can check if it is available to be registered or if it is not free. You can also check the price.
3. Select the domain you want and click on Next
4. Select the registration period and mark if you want any additional service.
5. Add all the contacts: owner, administrative and technical. If they are not created, you can create them by clicking on the green arrow.
6. Add the name servers you want to use. If you want to use your own DNS, you must select "No nameserver group". But you can also use the Openprovider name servers if you want.
7. Once everything is completed, click on To step 3: finish order.
If the domain is correctly registered you will get a green notification informing about that. If there is any error, you will get a red notification explaining what happened.
You can always check all the Notifications (Domain actions and Payments) in Notification Center.
Domain transfer charged but domain not renewed
Question
Why the domain has not been renewed with the transfer but it has been charged?
Answer
Please, be aware this is in general common for gTLDs, like .com , .net, .org domain names.
If you have been charged for a transfer, you can be sure that the domain has been renewed by Openprovider. If you realize that the expiration date is not added with an other year, in most cases, this is the explanation:
You can read more information about the status of Expiration Date after a transfer in this article.
At the moment of transfer, domain was in autoRenewPeriod at old registrar. According to ICANN policy, for domains transferred during the auto-renew period, renewal iscreditedto the losing registrar, and gaining registrar (Openprovider) is charged for it.
If old registrar charged you for this renewal, you may to ask them for a refund, as the registrar should received the money back from the registry at a later moment.
However, it is not guaranteed that they will refund the renewal. Due to the administrative process and the manual work, this is not refunded in most cases. Therefore we advise to keep an eye on the renewal dates before you start a transfer to avoid this situation.
Dominio transferido que no se ha renovado
Pregunta
Por qué al transferir el dominio (.com, .net, .info, .org...) no se ha renovado pero sí que se ha cobrado?
Respuesta
Las transferencias de dominios genéricos como .com, .net, .info, .org siempre incluyen un año adicional a la fecha de expiración del dominio.
Sin embargo, existe un caso particular que puede dar lugar a confusión:
Cuando el dominio se renueva en el registrador anterior poco antes de iniciarse la transferencia, el registro cancela automáticamente esa renovación previa.
Esto ocurre porque la transferencia ya incorpora la extensión de un año, y el registro no permite que se acumulen ambas renovaciones.
🔎 Ejemplo práctico paso a paso:
El dominio expira el 16-04-2025.
El titular renueva el dominio en el Registrador A hasta el 16-04-2026.
A los pocos días, el dominio se transfiere al Registrador B.
Como parte de la transferencia, el dominio se extiende un año adicional hasta el 16-04-2027.
El registro (Verisign en el caso de .com y .net, Identity Digital para .info, PIR para .org, etc.) detecta que ya se había procesado una renovación en el Registrador A y la revierte automáticamente.
Como consecuencia, la fecha final de expiración no llega a 2027, sino que se queda en 16-04-2026.
📌 Importante
El cargo de la transferencia es válido, ya que el proceso de traslado sí se ha completado.
La renovación pagada al Registrador A es la que ha quedado anulada por el registro.
Por lo tanto, si te encuentras en esta situación, lo que debes hacer es:
👉 Contactar con tu registrador anterior y solicitar el reembolso de la renovación anulada.
Effects of GDPR on domain transfers
Question
How does the GDPR affect domain transfers?
Answer
Regarding ccTLDs (such as .nl, .be, eu, .cn or .cl), little has changed. We are not aware of any registry that changed its transfer procedure.
Regarding gTLDs (such as .com, .info, .london or .shop), the transfer procedure depends on what information is available in the whois records of the domain name to be transferred:
If an e-mail address of the owner and/or administrative contact is available, the transfer starts with an e-mail to those contacts. After the domain contact approves the transfer, it will be requested at the registry. After 5 days it will automatically be completed.
If no e-mail address is available in the whois records, we request the transfer at the registry immediately. After 5 days it will automatically be completed.
You can find the current step in the transfer process in the details of the domain name in your control panel.
Full information about the transfer process for each extension is available in the Documentation per TLD pages.
EmailVerificationStatus for contact is not returned
Question
Retrieving contact information using API Method (retrieveCustomerRequest), but EmailVerificationStatus is not returned.
Answer
That means you did not yet start verifying an email address.
Please note contact verification is mandatory for GTLDs.
Initialize verification process to start retrieving verification status for a contact.
Error "Reseller cannot add duplicate domain" explained
Scenario :
In case you have a failed request, you can not simply start a new request for the same domain. Otherwise that would leave you with 2 similar domains with 2 different statuses - very confusing!
You need to remove the first attempt first or reuse that attempt again.
Both the situations are well explained in the picture below :
Solution :
There are 2 options what you can do is :
1. You can remove the previous attempt. This will allow you to make a new attempt for this domain.
2. You can re-use the previous attempt in case all the details are still the same and re-request your transfer directly.
Both options can be found in the section Transfer > Queue for transfers or trades.

Expiration date after successful domain transfer
Question:
What happens with the expiration date after a successful domain transfer?
Answer:
This depends on the domain name extension which is transferred to Openprovider.
In the Knowledge Base for each extension this information is available under the transfer tab, under the tag: "Registration period after transfer".
There are 3 options what can happen with the expiration date:
The expiration date does not change (it remains unchanged). Normally this indicates a free transfer. The first payment which will be applied is the moment of domain renewal. If the incoming transfer of a domain was shortly before its expiration date, be aware of this renewal, which can be due in just a couple of days.
Examples: .uk, .nl, .es and .se.
The expiration date extends with a year. In other words: the domain transfer comes with a renewal. These transactions are charged immediately, but the next renewal is at least a year in the future, and sometimes even longer for a multi-year registration.
Examples: .eu, .fr and all the gTLDs (.com, .net, .org etc).
And then there are registries that start counting from ‘now’ again (also referred to as "restarts"). The new expiration date is one year after the transfer date. In this scenario there is an option to loose a registration period if the transfer was shortly after the registration or renewal date of a domain.
Examples: .de and .be

FAQ: Aftermarket domain purchases
As you may know, resellers can buy Aftermarket domains through Openprovider. Here you have some FAQs related with the product:
From which Aftermarket platforms can I buy domains from Openprovider?
Right now you can buy domains from SedoMLS and Afternic.
Difference between an Aftermarket purchase and a “normal” domain registration?
Domains in Aftermarket are domains currently active but in sale by its registrants. That’s why when someone registers an Aftermarket domain, a registrar transfer is executed from the loosing registrar to Openprovider.
How can our resellers buy domains from Aftermarket?
Openprovider main website (openprovider.com)
RCP New Domain Checker
API
Check Domain Request (specifying “sedo” or "afternic" as the provider)
Create Domain Request (specifying “sedo” or "afternic" as the provider)
How can a reseller register an Aftermarket domain using the API?
The same CheckDomain requests and CreateDomain requests will work, but you have to specify the aftermarket platform as a provider ("sedo" or "afternic").
An example is:
...
"domain": {
"name": " openprovidersedo",
"extension": "com"
},
"provider" : "sedo",
...
SEDO or Afternic domain is not appearing in RCP New domain checker search
We are only displaying the result if the domain searched is an exact match with a domain listed in an aftermarket platform, so name + TLD must be specified.
Remember: we are not supporting all domains listed in an aftermarket platform, check What kind of aftermarket domains can be bought through Openprovider?
What kind of aftermarket domains can be bought through Openprovider?
Not all domains from Aftermarket can be bought in Openprovider. You can currently buy domains that can be bought right away with a fixed price. (not in auction)
How long does it take for the domain to be in the reseller account after purchasing an Aftermarket domain?
As this is a domain transfer, could take up to 10 days to appear as active in the reseller account. During the transfer, you can see the domain in the Domain Overview section in RCP.
Finding / resetting your authorization code (transfer code) and unlocking domain
Question:
Where can I find the authorization code of the domain?
Where can I reset the authorization code of the domain?
Answer:
The authorization codes to transfer a domain out to another registrar or to use for a reseller change (internal transfer) can be found here.
Log into the Openprovider Control Panel (RCP - Reseller Control Panel) and click on Domains Overview
Fill in the domain name for which the authorization code should be obtained and click on the search button.
In the results below the domain name is shown. Click on the domain name:
The authorization code can be found on the domain details page.
For a transfer out it is necessary to unlock the domain.
Note: We now provide the ability for our customers to unlock domains in grace/soft quarantine period status for transfers out. The ability to unlock is implemented for all extensions that have a soft quarantine period. Details of the soft quarantine period for specific TLDs can be found in TLD Documentation
If there is no code then this can mean one of two things;
This TLD does not use authorization codes.
This can be confirmed by checking our TLD documentation.
There is no code generated yet. Commonly because it is only valid for a short period of time, or because it is sent to the registry directly. In such cases, go to authorization code management to generate a new code!
Reset the authorization code of the domain
Some TLDs will support an authorization code reset. If the registry supports this function, the option Generate a new authorization codeis displayed on the Authorization code management page.
In case the option is not displayed, this TLD does not support an authorization code reset.
Hard quarantine
Question
What does the status hard quarantine mean?
Answer
This is a period that comes after soft quarantine while the domain could be reactivated with additional fees. After hard quarantine is over - domain marked for final removal from registry.
The availability of hard quarantine is described on the extensions pages in the Knowledge Base.
How to Clone a Contact Handle
Cloning a contact handle creates a duplicate of an existing contact profile with all its current details pre-filled, but with a new handle ID. This feature is useful when customers need to create a new contact handle with same information in most fields and make some changes like company data. For example, the only way to update the company registration number for .se and .nu domains is by creating a clone, adding a new handle and connecting domains to the new handle.
To clone a handle, please follow below steps:
Go to “Customer Management” in the left-side menu.
Select “Customers Overview.”
Find the contact handle you want to clone.
Click the “Clone” button next to the contact.
A pre-filled form will appear with the existing contact details.
Edit any fields as needed (e.g., name, email, address, company data).
Save the changes.
NOTE:
It is not possible to CLONE contacts via API. You will need to use a Create Customer request via API using the same previous details.
Here you have 2 useful documents:
1- Get existing handle details - Get Customer
2- Create a new handle using the information retrieved in step 1 and with any changes required - Create Customer
How to sync new contact Handle with Domain.
Go to Domain Overview.
Select Domain and click on Edit Contact Data
After Updating the contact Handle, sync the domain.
Refer this Article How to update or synchronize domain details
How to approve outgoing domain transfer
Question
An email with the following contents has been received for a number of domain names:
Action: outgoing transfer pending
Status: ACT
Order date: 2018-05-23
Activation date: 2018-05-23
Renewal date: 2020-12-10
Expiration date: 2020-12-10
Comments: the transfer has been requested by another registrar for this domain; if you do not explicitly approve or reject, the domain will be transferred in 5 days automatically
Can an outgoing transfer be forced to complete?
Answer
To complete an outgoing transfer to another registrar:
Via FOA email (for gTLDs)
After an outgoing transfer is started, the registrant (domain owner) will receive a "FOA2" email asking them to confirm or deny the transfer.
Tip: Approving the FOA2 email helps complete your transfer faster.
Via RCP (Reseller Control Panel)
Navigate to Domains Overview >> Recent Domain Trades >> Outgoing transfers tab in RCP and click on Approve in the actions column.
Via API
REST API - ApproveTransfer
XML API - approveTransferDomainRequest
If case an outgoing transfer is not processed, please refer to the article for possible reasons.
Note: Rejecting/declining domain transfers is not possible from registrar end.
How to export a list with domains from the control panel?
Question
How to export a list with domains from the control panel?
Answer
At the bottom of the domains overview page, you can find Export option. There are 2 options to generate a CSV. You can create a CSV export for the complete list of domains or in case you have selected certain filters, for a filtered list.
In case of a large domain portfolio, this may take several minutes. In case you do not receive the email within a few minutes, please also check your spam-folder. You can either Download the CSV export or send it t o an email address.
Be aware that this export will contain all domain data, like handles, nameservers, but also transfer codes.

How to export a list with nameserver settings + dns records from the control panel?
Question
How to export a list with nameserver settings + dns records from the control panel?
Answer
At the bottom of the DNS zone overview page, there is an option to generate a csv. The first part of the csv contains the current nameserver settings of the domains and the bottom part of the csv will contain all the dns records.
In case of a large domain portfolio, the csv will be send by email. This may take several minutes. In case you do not receive the email within a few minutes, please also check your spam-folder.
In case of a smaller domain portfolio, the csv will directly open.
It is not possible to make an export via the control panel for only a selected list of domains.
If you want a custom list, we advise to use the API and build a custom request:
https://doc.openprovider.eu/API_Module_Nameserver_searchZoneRecordDnsRequest
This export is only available in .CSV format, not in BIND format.
How to fix "Auth code is wrong" error message when doing email address verification
You may encounter this error when attempting to verify your email address by clicking the verification link sent to your inbox.
This simply means that you clicked on the link from an older email. A new code is generated each time a verification is required. Make sure you click on the link from the latest email that was sent to you.
How to renew a domain with no Renewal button in RCP
Question
Some domains don't have a renew button in RCP (e.g. .at TLD). How does one renew such domains? Will they be lost after they reach their expiration dates?
Answer
Some registries don't allow for explicit domain renewal or, sometimes, the renewal call can only be made within a certain period of time before the domain's expiration date. If the domain page in RCP were to be queried on June 1 2020, for the domain that expires on June 29th, the Renew button would not have been present:
For instance, in the case of .at domains, when the 'Expiration date - 28 days' period comes, the Renew button will appear in RCP allowing to increment Expiration date Openprovider without actually sending a renew command to the registry.
In cases like this, the renewal behaviour can be controlled by setting the auto-renewal policy (be it per domain or the global setting) to On in one's RCP account.
Going back to the .at TLD, to renew an .at domain one simply has to set the domain renewal mode or default renewal mode to Auto renew.
How to request a .pt trade at the registry?

How to restore a domain ?
Question :
How can I restore a domain in its period of restoration?
Answer :
In case the domain can still be restored (depending on the TLD and the quarantine period) the domain can be restored via the Control Panel or via API.
If the domain is not visible in the restore queue, please check the details of the TLD if restore is supported and what the period in which restore should be possible.
Steps to restore a domain :
You can find the restore option in 2 locations.
1 - Via the menu Domains Overview >> Restorable Domains.
2 - On the detail page of the domain name itself.
Domains Overview >> Restorable Domains
Detail page of the domain name
Click on the confirmation, and the domain will be restored!
It depends on the TLD and/or the phase of the domain if a restore fee is charged.
Please check the pages for information about the Soft quarantine (no restore fee) and Hard quarantine (restore fee).
The prices for the restore fee per TLD can be found in the control panel via this link.
If you would like to restore a deleted/expired domain that is not shown in the control panel, please contact our support team.
How to schedule a domain transfer
Question
Is it possible to schedule a transfer?
Answer
Scheduling a transfer can minimize the risk of paying twice for the registration same period when consolidating domains.
To schedule a transfer, simply choose a date (Transfer on) to transfer via the dropdown next to the Authorization code field.
Do keep in mind that many TLDs have a limited validity period for their authorization codes.
Please, be aware that the time mentioned in our emails and in the control panel are CET.
But this only indicates from what time the domain will be added in our transfer or renewal scripts.
If the time indication would say 03:00 AM, it does not mean that exactly at 3 in the morning the transfer will start. It means that from 3 in the morning, the domain is added to our transfer script.
We process the requests in batches, to make sure it is well divided in terms of load for the system to process. Therefore it can happen that your transfer will start for example 2 hours later then the time mentioned in the control panel or email.
How to transfer a *.uk domain
Question
What is the correct procedure to transfer a *.uk domain in?
Answer
A transfer of a .uk domain is initiated like any other transfer and can take up to 45 days, depending on the cooperation of the current provider. Below are the general steps to transfer a .co.uk domain:
Request the transfer in your RCP. Without an active incoming transfer request, our system will not accept the incoming transfer, but directly reject the "handshake"!
Contact your current provider and request to change the so-called IPStag of the domain to REGISTRAR-EU
Once the current provider has changed the IPS tag of the domain the transfer will be completed.
Please note the following:
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.
After a transfer, the expiration date remains unchanged. The transfer will be free of charge, but take care of a possible quick renewal.
Any company you are transferring from may charge you a transfer/release fee. If it's more than £12 then it's cheaper to go straight to nominet.uk and get them to do it for you. To help lighten this unnecessary fee, Openprovider charges no fees for UK domain transfers (nor do we charge should you wish to transfer a domain from us).
Sometimes, a tag change is denied without obvious reason. In most cases, such a domain name may be subject to an active dispute resolution case. Please contact the domain registrant for more information, as we cannot see so.
If multiple domains are being transferred, Nominet combines them in a batch according to their criteria. If IPS tag change fails for one domain in a batch (e.g. a domain was not requested in RCP), the whole batch will fail.
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.
Tags are case sensitive, see here the list with all Tags from all registrars.
How to transfer a domain to Openprovider?
Question
How to transfer a domain to Openprovider?
Answer
Transferring a domain in the control panel is very easy.
In order to transfer a domain you should follow these steps:
1. Go to Domains Overview > Transfers
2. Click on New Transfer
3. Now, you will be redirected to our new Transfer Dashboard which is designed to make your transfer experience even better!
4. Select the type of transfer you want to proceed with and you will be redirected to the next page.
Let's go with Regular Domain Transfer.
5. In the new transfer dashboard, you can add upto 50 domains at one time!
6. Add the domain and click Next Step which will take you to the next menu.
7. Insert the Auth Code, a date if you would like to schedule your transfer, Contact Handles (Owner, Admin, Billing), Nameserver Group / Nameservers
8.You can add notes about the transfer and even save the details of the domain in the system.
9. Once everything is completed, click on Start Transfer.
Please, keep in mind that due to the many different types of rules concerning domain name transfers it is not possible to make an article covering all possibilities.
When in doubt you can consult our documentation about TLDs where we list the procedures for most TLDs we can offer. This documentation can be found here.
Please note that you can also search in our knowledge base by simply typing the TLD in the search bar at the top of this page.
In general, a few things can happen when transferring a domain name.
A transfer code can be needed (you may request this at your current registrar)
The owner may have to approve of the transfer by clicking a link that is sent to them
Signed forms may be required
..procedures can differ depending on the domain extension.
Check the TLD documentation for the domain in question to check what the procedures are. The documentation also tells you how long a transfer can take.
NOTE: DNS zone records are not automatically transferred. If you would like to use Openprovider nameservers, you should create the DNS zone first and add the records before switching to our nameservers to avoid downtime.
How to transfer domains between reseller accounts (internal transfer)?
Question
How to transfer domains from one Openprovider account to another?
Answer
Sometimes it happens that you need to switch domains between accounts. If the list is short it is relatively easy to just start internal transfers for these by starting a transfer via the regular transfer processes in our control panel. If there are hundreds of domains to be moved then Openprovider can assist you with moving the domains.
Internal transfer using the control panel
An internal transfer must be requested as a normal transfer. Depending on the extension, domain will be transferred instantly or when the current reseller confirms the transfer. As this is a normal transfer, only the domain will be transferred, not any attached services, like DNS zones, WPP, forwardering etc.
Domains will not be renewed and not charged because they will not be renewed. As the domains stay at the same registrar, a renewal is not required, hence Openprovider will not enforce a renewal. A reseller is free to renew the domain after the transfer if desired.
Domains with authcode: Once the internal transfer is requested, using the authcode and adding the nameservers and the handles, domain will be transferred instantly to the new account.
Domains without authcode: Once the internal transfer is requested, the current reseller will receive an email informing about that request. Current reseller will have to confirm the internal transfer from Domain Management > Requests queue transfers and trades > Outgoing transfers. Once confirmed, domains will be transferred to the new reseller.
NOTE : In some cases, the email is sent to the registrant email address who will need to confirm it.
Internal transfer in bulk
If a large number of domains need to be transferred between two reseller accounts, (in case accounts are merged, split up or taken over), regular transfers may not be the most efficient way.
For such cases, there is a procedure in place that allows for an internal bulk transfer - a transfer of a larger number of domains between two Openprovider resellers that requires just two signatures on a transfer form.
You can find more details about this option in the link below:
Internal-bulk-transfer-between-two-Openprovider-resellers
Any additional services attached to the domains (including but not limited to trustee service, DNS zone, domain forwarding and whois privacy protection) will be taken over as well.
We can transfer: domain names, DNS zones (Openprovider and Sectigo Premium Anycast DNS), SSL certificates, and Plesk licenses.
Currently, we're unable to transfer: SpamExperts filters (per domain or bundles), Email Solution, and EasyDMARC.
How to update a domain handle (domain contact)
Question
How to modify the data of a domain's contact handle (owner/admin/tech)?
Answer
In order to update data of a contact handle (e.g. email address, phone number, address, VAT number, etc.) one should navigate to Customer management > Customers overview > XX000001-XX in Reseller Control Panel:
Then click on the Edit customer button and change information in the available fields:
Additional information required
The registry decides what information is required in order to successfully register (or transfer) a domain. Examples can be the presence of a VAT number, a social security number, a passport number, state/province in the address details, etc. As this information is not required for all registries, those fields are also not mandatory when one creates a handle. In case one requests a domain that requires those extra details, an error will appear that "additional information or data is required". This can be added to the existing customer handle.
Which details required for a certain extension can be found on the detail page of that extension.
How to update the Company Name, First Name or Last Name
Not all data is editable; the first name, last name, and company name can never be changed once a handle is created. For some cases, the reason behind this is a registry restriction, for others - legal limitations.
Example: The information at some registries will not be updated (only allowed via a trade or documents) and this would cause a mismatch in details in the control panel and in the registry (actual domain) details. Therefore, it is not possible to adjust the company name, first name, and last name of the handle to prevent this.
Tip: One can Clone a customer in order to get a pre-filled new customer, where updates can be made. This will create a new handle that can be used to update the domain.
You can find the clone button as shown below:
Once you have the new handle, you can update the domain via the domain detail page or use the bulkoperation tool in the RCP to update multiple domains at once.
You can find instructions how to use this page here.
How to update or synchronize domain details
Question
1 - Which steps to follow to update the domain details?
2 - Which steps to follow when i notice that the domain details in the whois do not match with the details in the control panel?
Answer
The details of the domain name are displayed on the detail-page of the domain name.
Any changes to the domain name can be started from this page.
In case you want to update the details, please follow the steps in "1 - Update the domain name"
In case you notice that the details were previously not correctly updated at the Registry (whois details are not matching the control panel details), please follow the steps in "2 - Synchronize details with Registry / whois"
1 - Update the domain name
Go to RCP > Domain overview > %domain% > Edit domain data
(Number "1" in the screenshot below)
You have now the option to enter new data in the shown fields; domain settings, handles and name servers.
Scroll down and click Save changes.
Check domain whois to ensure changes took effect. For most TLDs update is real-time. In case no new data was entered, the "update" will not be forwarded to the registry. Please use the option described below for those scenarios.
2 - Synchronize details with Registry / whois
There are situations where the information in the registry (whois) and Openprovider might be out of sync. One reason can be that the registry did not accept the previous update, for example due to missing information in the handle, a maintenance during the update or a connection error.
In those situations the synchronization button can be used to push the data from the detail-page to the Registry again. (Number "2" in the screenshot below)
Please stay on the detail-page while it loads, until the pop-up appears.
This pop-up will show that the domain is successfully modified or an error is shown in case the Registry did not accept the update.
How to use the domain I bought?
In this article, you can find the commonly asked questions after you have bought a domain from the Openprovider website.
This article has the following sections:
General questions
Technical questions
Financial questions
Other questions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You just bought your first domain, awesome!
Welcome to the Openprovider control panel.
In this article we will answer the most common questions when you just bought your first domain with us.
General questions
Q: What is a domain?
A: A domain is a website's name, a URL is how to discover a website, and a website is what visitors view and interact with once they arrive. In other words, when you acquire a domain, you are purchasing the name for your website, but you must still develop the website itself.
Q: What is hosting?
A: Website hosting is the term used to describe an online server that allows you to publish a website on the internet. It's essentially the same as paying rent for real server space to store all of the data that comprise your website in order to ensure that it functions correctly.
Q: Is hosting provided with the domain I bought?
A: No, at this moment Openprovider is not offering any hosting services. We recommend contacting a hosting provider or a platform where you can create your website and ask them for the details how to connect your website to your domain.
Q: Is email provided with the domain I bought?
A: No, but you can purchase email service from Openprovider. Read more about it here
Email service can be ordered from here
Q: How can I access my domain?
A: Once you bought the first domain, you will get access to a personal control panel.
You can find your domain in the section “Domain management”. If you click on your domain, a detail page will open where you can see all the details or your domain and the option to make changes. Here you can change the owner, renew the domain, connect different nameservers etc.
Q: Is website design provided?
A: No. This is not a service Openprovider offers.
Q: I made a typo, can I change the domain name?
A: Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the domain name after it is bought. We advise to double check the spelling before you submit the requests as there are no refunds for mistakes.
Q: How can I buy another domain
A: Once you bought the first domain, you will get access to a personal control panel. In this panel you can order additional services for your domain or buy another one.
Q: What happens when the domain registration fails?
A: The domain registration process starts immediately after the payment. Sometimes there might be some issues, for instance the registry didn’t accept some of the data provided or is simply not reachable. In this case the domain registration process will fail.
What about the transaction for this domain ? The money will be directly available on the balance in the Control Panel. Now you can adjust the information (if needed) and try to register the domain again via the Control Panel or try it again later.
Q: How do I use the Openprovider Control Panel?
A: On the left side you will see a menu with all the products and services that Openprovider offers.
We advise you to check the Knowledge base sections of those products to get familiar with them.
You can find the Knowledge base easily via the link openprovider.help
Technical questions
Q: What are nameservers?
A: Nameservers hold the DNS zones, and when set to authoritative help to resolve domain names to IP-addresses.
Q: What is DNS zone?
A: A zone contains all DNS records so the nameserver can resolve the queries made on a domain.
Q: What is DNSSEC?
A: This is an added layer of security on your domain, making sure you will be pointed to the correct servers. If you use the Openprovider nameservers, you can select 'enable" and our system will configure this for you in the background. If you use other nameservers (Not Openprovider nameservers) you have to add a key on the domain detailpage.
Q: How to enable the email?
You can purchase email service from Openprovider. Read more about it here
Email service can be ordered from here
Q : Can I change the domain settings, for instance contact data, after I register the domain?
A : Yes, it is possible and it can be easily done using the Control Panel.
More information on how to change the nameserver.
More information on how to update contact "handle" information.
More information on how to change your account details.
Financial questions
Q: Where can I find the prices?
A : You can find all detailed prices in your control panel, in the section called "Prices".
Check out this article for more information: How does price structure work ?
Q: How is the invoicing done?
A: When you buy your first domain via the website openprovider.com, the invoicing will be done directly via credit card. After the purchase you can find this invoice in your control panel.
Once you have access to your personal control panel, you can top up your balance and start buying additional services or new domains.
You can find more information here: Increase your balance
Q: Is there a grace period to cancel my purchase?
A: Unfortunately,there is no grace period after the purchase. Once the domain, it can be deleted, but this will not result in any refund. We advise you to double check the spelling of your domain before you submit the request.
Other questions:
Q: I get an email to confirm my emailaddress, is this required?
A: Openprovider is obliged to verify the validity of each e-mail address that is used in the owner contact details of any gTLD registration. gTLDs include all extensions that are not country codes (ccTLDs): common generics like .com, .net, .travel, all new gTLDs like .guru, .channel and .app etc. This will only be requested once per (new) emailaddress (not per domain)
More information about this process can be found in the article: Registrant email verification
Q: What is Openprovider?
A: Openprovider is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar. We also provide other services like emails, Plesk Licenses, DNS service and more. Visit our website to view and order services.
Q: How can I contact Openprovider?
The best way to contact us is opening a ticket via your control panel or through the website.
ICANN Fee
What do we mean by "ICANN Fee"?
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) imposes a mandatory annual charge of $0.20 for each year a generic top-level domain (gTLD) is registered, renewed, or transferred. If applicable, this fee will be automatically added to the domain’s price at checkout and will not appear separately in your cart.
Please note that the $0.20 ICANN fee will be charged in the equivalent native currency of the respective TLD.
gTLDs for which the ICANN Fee is applicable:

ICANN's Registration Data Policy: Minimum Data Set
ICANN’s Registration Data Policy (RDP) introduces a framework for registrars and registry operators to collect, transfer, and publish only the essential registration data elements necessary to perform domain name registration functions.
One key component of the RDP is the Minimum Data Set (MDS), which defines the minimal set of data elements that registrars must transfer to registry operators (and, where applicable, make publicly available) to ensure privacy compliance and maintain registry operations. For full details on the RDP, see the official policy document:
ICANN Registration Data Policy
What Is the Minimum Data Set (MDS)?
The Minimum Data Set is defined as the essential registration data elements that must be transferred from the registrar to the registry operator. Under this model:
No personal data beyond what is strictly necessary is transferred.
Elements such as registrant name, organization, postal address, phone, and email may be excluded or redacted unless legally required by the registry.
This approach effectively mirrors a “thin registry” model, where only non-personal or minimally personal data are stored at the registry level.
Note:
For MDS implemented TLDs, adding or updating unsupported handles is not possible.
Verisign TLDs (.com, .net. .cc) already use a thin registry model, and only owner handle is supported.

IDN domains
Question
It is possible to register IDN domains?
Answer
Via the control panel (RCP)
To register an IDN domain name, request the registration as a regular domain, from Domains Overview > Domain registration.
Make sure the full name is written in the language that you select.
A mix of languages is not possible. So you can not create a domain that exists of multiple languages. All symbols of the domain need to be from the same language.
Otherwise, the error "Domain creation failed: 2306, Parameter value policy error; IDN
mismatches with Language" will be shown.
And then:
1. Once the domain name is written, choose that domain's language.
2. Click on Check availability and our system will automatically transform that domain name into an IDN domain. You can select the domain and proceed as a usual domain name, adding the contacts and nameservers.
When configuring the DNS, just use the IDN variant and it will work without any issues.
Via API
For registering IDN domains via API, you need to specify the IDN script (what language or character set the domain name is applicable to) in the additional data section of the request.
REST API
"additional_data": {
"idn_script": "SPA",
},
Please refer to the REST API documentation for more details and to see an example registration request: REST API - Create Domain
To see a list of IDN scripts supported by specific domain extensions/TLDs, you may use the following REST API calls and look for "supported_idn_scripts" in the API response:
REST API - ListTlds
REST API - GetTld
XML API
'additionalData' => array(
'idnScript' => 'ENG'
),
Please refer to the XML API documentation for more details and to see an example registration request:
XML API - Create Domain
XML API - Format_Additional_Data
To see a list of IDN scripts supported by specific domain extensions/TLDs, you may use the following XML API calls and look for "supportedIdnScripts" in the API response:
XML API - searchExtensionRequest
XML API - retrieveExtensionRequest
Internal and external transfers and authorization codes
Internal Transfers
An internal transfer occurs within Openprovider, moving a domain between two reseller accounts. This process is typically faster and simpler because the domain remains with the same provider, and the transfer is handled internally.
In the case of an internal transfer, a notification is shown during the transfer process stating "Internal Transfer".
This means that the domain is already registered with Openprovider but with another reseller. For internal domain transfers, expiration dates will remain the same after successful transfer completion.
External Transfers
An external transfer involves moving a domain from one registrar or provider to another. This process may take several days, as it involves communication between different organizations. External transfers are more complex but allow you to switch to a new registrar or provider.
For domains registered with Openprovider, you can get authorization codes/EPP codes for internal and external transfers from Authorization code management page in control panel (RCP).
Requesting an authorization code for an internal transfer
It might sound like you would need an "internal transfer code" for all internal transfers, but this is not the case. In most cases, an internal transfer can be done via a "regular" external transfer code.
It depends on the TLD and the registry transfer policy, if a "regular" transfer code can be used, or if a "special" internal transfer code must be used.
Some examples:
.NL internal transfer:
For .nl domains you will only see the option to "Retrieve authorization code" or "Reset authorization code" , nothing is mentioned about internal or external transfers. So in this case, the code can be used for both internal transfers to a different Openprovider reseller as external transfers to a different Registrar.
.BE internal transfer
For .be domains, you will see the option to generate an external or internal transfer code. This is due to the transfer code policy of the Belgium Registry. An external transfer code can also be used for an internal transfer.
In case the domain needs to be transferred to a different Openprovider Reseller account, either internal transfer or external transfer code can be used. However, please note that internal transfer code cannot be used for a transfer to a different registrar/provider!
Invalid default billing handle when updating a domain
Symptoms
When trying to update a domain the following error is being thrown:
Invalid default billing handle!
Cause
Software issue. Billing handle is being passed to API calls of domains whose extensions don't support this type of a handle.
Workaround
Navigate to Account > Settings > Default domain contacts page and set a default billing handle.
Life Cycle of a Typical gTLD Domain Name
Question
What is the Life Cycle of a typical gTLD Domain Name?
Answer
On August 31, 2013, ICANN established the Expired Registration Recovery Policy (ERRP), which mandates registrars to provide crucial information about expiry alerts, fees, and redemption processes to registrants and prospective customers. All relevant information and disclaimers are presently available in our terms and condition, Knowledge base or other areas on our website.
This document offers links to all needed parts in the policy as a convenience to Registrants.
After a domain has expired, each domain name extension and its registrar restrictions might have an impact on the renewal process. Some domains, such as ccTLDs, may have unique renewal requirements.
According to ICANN's ERRP Policy, we send expiration reminders for gTLDs at:
1 month before expiration;
1 week before expiration;
1 day after expiration.
Days after domain expiration
What happens and what you can do
0 to 40 days
The system will try to auto-renew the domain on the date of the expiration for most domains (if the Auto-Renew setting in RCP is ON) or you can manually renew the domain from Reseller Control Panel. If not renewed, the domain will expire and get automatically parked, which means your site and email will stop working. You can manually renew the domain for the standard renewal price.
After 40 days
The domain is removed from your account. You may still be able to restore it for the standard renewal price plus restore fee. However, this process is manual, Please contact our support via a ticket.
After 70 days
The registry will release the domain. We cannot advise on the exact day and time the domain will be again available for registration.
Domain Statuses:
Want to know what is the status of your domain, check the Reseller Control Panel, the status appears in the Domain Overview.
More detailed explanation is provided in this article.
Local presence services
There are several registries that require a local address (local presence) for the registrant or one of the domain contacts. Openprovider can provide such a trustee service for the extensions listed below. Some of them are automatically included for free, others need to be ordered separately through control panel or API. For pricing information, just start ordering a domain and you'll be presented the correct price.
.ba (Bosnia-Hercegovina)
.com.ar (Argentina)
.com.br (Brazil), included for free
.fr (France)
.hu, .co.hu (Hungary), included for free
.co.id, .web.id (Indonesia)
.jp (Japan), included for free (not available for co.jp)
.kr, .co.kr, .or.kr (Korea), included for free
.my, .com.my, .net.my, .org.my (Malaysia)

Nameservers that were added on Nameserver management page do not resolve
Question
After adding nameserver at Domain management > Nameserver management, they do not resolve across the internet. What is the purpose of this utility?
Answer
Nameserver management page exist for a very specific reason. One should take heed of the disclaimer at the top of the page and not try to create glue records for the domains that require such records to be created:
The 'nameserver' section allows you to create and manage nameserver objects. Use this functionality only if normal glue records in the domain registration and management sections do not suffice. Nameservers can only be created for domains that are registered in your Openprovider account.
Nameserver management page has a very distinct purpose - to provide functionality for registering nameserver objects at a given registry. Creating nameservers that way will not make them accessible in the DNS.
Let's consider the following scenario: the reseller has a domain portfolio shared across Openprovider and another registrar for any applicable reason (e.g. scheduled transfer sessions). The reseller has a domain example.tld which is registered within Openprovider.
In the possession of the reseller there is also a nameserver which is to be used for his/her other domains which are registered with a third-party registrar, and there's a need to name this server - ns.example.tld. If the reseller was to assign this nameserver to a domain external-example.tld which is hosted within another registrar, he/she would receive an error akin to this one:
Nameserver creation or update failed:
ns.example.tld, 2201, Authorization error
In-depth explanation of that behaviour is available in the following article: Nameserver creation or update failed: 2201, Authorization error.
Naturally, the question arises: how does one assign ns.example.tld (Openprovider)as a nameserver to external-example.tld (non-Openprovider)without violating the registry's object permissions policy?
Here's where the Nameserver management functionality comes into play. It allows creating a nameserver host object in the registry (i.e. it will literally register a nameserver there) in order to grant the third-party registrar an option to assign a nameserver(whose name is registered within OP) to a domain which is registered within that third-party registrar.
Hence, mere nameserver object registration is the intended application of this utility, rather than actual DNS resolution.
No authcodes for domains in the CSV export file
Symptoms
Authorization code field is empty for some domains in the CSV domain overview file
No authorization code is listed in the domain's details
Cause
There is no one single reason why an authcode may not exist in Openprovider database, and therefore, on the Domain details page. The most common one - the domain was transferred in and the authorization code was reset by the registry.
Or the transfercode has a limited valid period and therefore can only be shown once recently generated or reset.
Resolution
When there are multiple domains with empty authcodes in the export, one can request them in bulk (if the procedure is supported by the registry) via requestAuthCodeDomainRequest API request.
The code can also be reset for individual domains on Domain management > Authorization code management page.

Ownership domain certificate
Does OpenProvider generate Ownership certificates for every TLD?
Yes, the price is 15 euros. If you're interested, please first check the contact details being used for the domain, and once you have confirmed that the information is correct, send an email to support@openprovider.com requesting the certificate. Support and Legal Team will manage this.
I want something free of charge, what can I do?
There are a few options available to prove domain ownership. You may take a screenshot from the RCP (Reseller Control Panel) showing all the needed data (please ensure to hide any sensitive information like auth/EPP code), or use domain registration/transfer/renew invoice or whois information (if whois privacy protection is not enabled) to prove domain ownership.
What are the TLDs that provide certificates?
We will be adding more to the list:
1. .be - can be requested via the website of the Belgium registry.
2. .cl - please contact the support team as we must request it manually from the registry.
3 .es - can be requested by the owner from ESNIC. Please refer to FAQs
4. .nl - can be requested only by the registrant at the registry SIDN (English or Dutch)
5. .ru - can be requested by contacting the support department.
6. .com & .co - can be requested by contacting the support department.
Registering a reserved domain name
Question
What is a reserved domain name and how to register it?
Answer
Registries may reserve domain names - moving them outside the pool of available domain names, without registering them. Anybody searching for the availability status of a reserved domain, gets the result "You cannot register this domain".
Sometimes such a reservation is by law or specific policies. "Law" mostly applies to ccTLDs, for example geographic identifiers or obscene names, "policies" mostly apply to ICANN and/or IANA rules, e.g. the inability to register the domain name "www" or a 2-letter country code.
On the other hand, with the raise of new gTLDs many more domains being reserved by registries without a legal reasons. Those domains are either reserved for the registry's own use (e.g. the domain name "whois"), or because the registry is unsure about whether or not they will be using it at a later moment themselves, or because the registry just wants to know if there is a market for that domain name.
Domain names in this last category are the most interesting: In many cases Openprovider can negotiate with the registry to find a solution to get the domain name.
If the resellers want to register a domain name and see it is reserved, do not hesitate to contact Openprovider to see what's possible.
Registrant email verification (ICANN contact validation)
Question
What is registrant contact verification (contact validation) and how will it be used?
Answer
Due to ICANN requirements and NIS2 directive, Openprovider is obliged to verify the validity of each e-mail address that is used in the owner contact details of any gTLD registration and specific ccTLDs. gTLDs include all extensions that are not country codes (ccTLDs): common generics like .com, .net and .travel, and all new gTLDs like .guru, .berlin and .app.
New - The following ccTLDs are also requiring email verification as the NIS2 directive is being adopted by the different European countries:
Austria: .at, .co.at, .or.at
Denmark: .dk
Sweden: .se, .nu
Finland: .fi
France & Overseas Territories: .fr, .pm, .re, .tf, .wf, .yt
Germany: .de
Italy: .it and all corresponding 3rd level domains
[POSTPONED] The Netherlands: .nl, .amsterdam
Poland: .pl and all corresponding 3rd level domains
It is very important to complete e-mail validation, as refusing to do so leads to unavailability of your domain(s).
This article contains the following sections:
Triggers: when do we trigger a contact verification process?
The verification process itself
Suspension of domain names
E-mail white labeling: format e-mails in your own style
Duplicate verifications: sometimes you need to verify twice...
Triggers
There are a few triggers that will cause e-mail validation to start. Note that the following procedure only covers gTLDs and the mentioned ccTLDs.
A new domain is registered / transferred in, and the domain uses an unverified e-mail address for the domain owner (registrant, domain holder)
An existing domain is updated to a new owner, which has an unverified e-mail address
An existing contact object, used as owner contact for one or more gTLD registrations, is updated with an unverified e-mail address
Invalidated e-mail addresses: if information reaches Openprovider that a previously verified e-mail address is no longer valid, for example a complaint or a bounce on an e-mail that Openprovider sent to that address.
Unless one of the above events happens, existing e-mail addresses - addresses that are in use already - will not be subject to verification.
Verification process
If any of the above events occur, the verification process is started. That process contains the following steps:
An initial e-mail is sent to the domain holder (This email can be customized. with resellers own company details or company style), In the email to click a link to confirm domains owners e-mail address.
If after 7 days no confirmation is received, a second e-mail is sent to the domain holder, urging him to confirm his e-mail address.
At the same moment, an e-mail is sent to the reseller of Openprovider to inform him about the fact that the e-mail address was not yet confirmed.
If after another 7 days still no confirmation is received, the verification fails, any linked domains are suspended and the customer of Openprovider receives a notification about this.
As soon as an e-mail address is confirmed, it will be marked verified in our systems. As long as it is verified, no new verification is required. Theoretically a verification can last forever (until information reaches us that the e-mail address is no longer valid).
Note: As part of NIS2 directive, for ccTLDs (mentioned in the list above) registered before October 14th, email verification will still be required, but no suspensions will occur before [POSTPONED till further notice] January 15, 2025, to avoid disruptions. After this date, any domains with unverified email addresses will be suspended.
If there are any changes or extensions to this deadline, we will inform you at least 15 days in advance.
View verification status
The verification status of an e-mail address is easily visible in the Contact verification overview page in the Domain management menu in the Openprovider control panel. Re-starting verification or re-sending the verification e-mail can be done from this page by clicking on a green Re-send button in the E-mail address section if the page.
The verification status for a specific contact or domain is also visible in the domain details pages and the customer details pages.
Tip: You can even start a verification process before you register the first domain on this name! That way, registration is not interrupted by the verification process.
Domain suspension
If verification fails (after 14 days of no response), Openprovider must, according to ICANN contracts and NIS2 directive, suspend any domain registration that uses that e-mail address in the owner contact. Suspending a domain means that Openprovider changes the nameservers of a domain name, causing the domain to be unresolvable. Website nor e-mail nor other related services will be functional anymore.
Failing to confirm an e-mail address might thus lead to suspension of many more domains. There are two ways of rendering the domain(s) active again:
Complete the verification process. The link in the e-mail is still valid. If the e-mail was not received and the e-mail address still is functional, the e-mail can be sent again from the domain details page.
Or change the e-mail address to another one. If that e-mail address was already verified, all domain names will be unsuspended immediately. If that e-mail address was not verified, domains will be unsuspended as soon as the new verification process is completed.
Status of a suspended domain
A suspended domain will be put to a special set of nameservers in the whois. In other words: the domain does not resolve, it is unavailable. But the domain is still registered! That means that you can update the domain, renew it, transfer it or even delete it. As long as the domain is registered, registration fees are applicable.
E-mail customization
For general information about e-mail customization (also called "white labeling" or "personalization"), Openprovider's blog post is a must-read.
Resellers can customize the e-mails that Openprovider sends to the end user: Resellers can use their own data in the following data fields; this functionality is multi-language and works based on tags, allowing resellers to create different templates for different (groups of) customers.
company name
sender e-mail address
e-mail subject
confirmation link
full body text
Those customization features can be found in the menu Account > Settings.
Technical details about the use of their own confirmation link (verification page) can be found on our dedicated knowledge base page.
Duplicate verification
In some cases, an e-mail address must be verified multiple times. For example, if a reseller register a .com domain at another registrar and resellers .net domains at Openprovider, both registrars will be required to verify the e-mail address. It is important that both verifications are completed, otherwise the other registrar might suspend your .com domain or Openprovider might suspend your .net domain.
Even within Openprovider multiple verifications might be required, as there are a few gTLDs and ccTLDs that Openprovider does not handle yet via its own registry account. If you have any doubts about the legitimacy of an email, contact our support department.
Registration Data Policy: Consent to Data Publication
In compliance with ICANN’s Registration Data Policy, domain registrants must now explicitly consent if they wish to have their personal registration data published in WHOIS or RDAP for gTLDs.
To support this, we’ve introduced a new setting across all domain management interfaces — Consent to Data Publication — which allows resellers to manage consent on behalf of their clients for the publication of contact data in WHOIS/RDAP.
This article explains the features, how it interacts with WHOIS Privacy Protection (WPP), and how to implement it across:
Reseller Control Panel (RCP)
API Integrations (REST/XML)

⚠️ Consent is mandatory: Without it, no personal data will be published, even if WPP is disabled.
🖥️ RCP (Reseller Control Panel)
A new field called Consent to Data Publication is now visible under the Contact Details Modification page for each GTLD domain.
Default Behavior:
Consent is set to OFF by default.
The registrant’s data will be redacted in public WHOIS/RDAP unless consent is explicitly given.
How to Use:
Log in to the RCP.
Navigate to the Domain Details page and click on Edit Contact Data.
You will see the Consent to Data Publication toggle.
Set it to ON if the registrant wishes to make their contact data public (provided WPP is disabled).
API Integration (REST & XML)
All API-based resellers are required to support this new field in their integration for domain operations (Create, Transfer, Update).
Field Specification
✅REST API
Parent Field: domain_additional_data
Field Name: consent_for_publishing
Data Type: string
Allowed Values:
"0" – Registrant does not consent
"1" – Registrant does consent
✅ XML API
Parent Field: domainAdditionalData
Field Name: consentForPublishing

Default Behavior if Field Not Provided:
Data will remain redacted in WHOIS/RDAP by default.
WHMCS Integration
As of v5.8.4 of the Openprovider WHMCS Domains Module, a new option — Consent to Publish Domain Contact Data—is now available.
Where It Appears:
Domain Registration
Domain Transfer
Domain Modification
Behavior:
Personal data is redacted by default, in line with GDPR.
An explicit checkbox option is now shown to collect the registrant's consent.
If selected, the registrant’s personal data will appear in WHOIS/RDAP only if WPP is disabled.
Required Actions for WHMCS Admins:
Download and install the latest module version.
NOTE:
To remain compliant and transparent:
📌 Always default to redacted unless consent is explicitly granted.
✅ For API users: Present the consent option clearly during domain registration, transfer, or contact updates.
🔍 Include a tooltip or info message that explains:
"Your personal information is redacted by default to protect your privacy.
If you manually change this setting to allow publication, you understand and agree that the contact information will be treated as public and non-personal data."
📝 Log consent decisions received from registrants for audit trails and regulatory compliance.

Remove personal data from the whois
Question
How can the personal data be removed from the whois?
Answer
Under the GDPR, no personal data may be shown anymore except when there is consent, when it is required by law or when there is a legitimate interest. In most cases all personal data is removed from the whois output unless the domain holder has explicitly consented to publication.
However, we see that several registries still publish more or less personal data. Examples of these are
EURid (.eu) who still shows the e-mail address of the owner (rationale: required by the European Commission and there's a legitimate interest in being able to contact the domain owner)
AFNIC (.fr), NIC ES (.es) and SIDN (.nl) who still show the name of the owner, even if it is a private individual
DK Hostmaster (.dk) who still shows all personal data (rationale: it's required by local law)
We expect that registries in the course of the first months to years after the GDPR will review their whois strategy, so changes may be seen over time.
If you want personal data to be removed from the whois, you should file a complaint with the data controller: the registry. Contact details may be found on the registry's websites.
An easier way of removing personal data is using our Whois Privacy Protection services, if it's available for that specific extension.
Renew Grace Periods
Question
Does Openprovider support the renew grace period?
Answer
Upon explicit renewal or auto-renewal of a domain name, Openprovider sends areneworder to the registry. At that moment Openprovider pays for an additional year and this additional year is added to the domain's registration period.
As a result, any renewals that were processed cannot be undone, whether it was a renewal for too many years or a renewal shortly before a transfer-out.
Some registries have policies for deletion of domains in the add grace period, the first days after registration of a new domain. Openprovider does by default not refund domain deletes during the grace periods. In exceptional cases (for example a high number of incorrect registrations or an expensive premium domain), contact our support department to see if we can find a solution for you.
Requesting .pt domain authcode from registry
Question
How to request .pt domain auth code via registry if the current registrar can not provide it?
Answer
How to receive auth code for the domain:
Login to the reserved area atwww.dns.ptwith the domain holder's NicHandle (see sectionRegistration) and corresponding password.
If the login details are not known please use password forgotten function: enter the NicHandle, and the registry will send an e-mail with a link to reset the password. This link is valid for 5 days. If the NicHandle is not known, please contact our support department and tell us the domain name for which you want to get the authorization code.
Search for the domain name
Click the domain name to go to the domain details
Find the authorization code (AuthKey) in the "Domain details" section.
If no code is listed, click on "Actions" button and select "Generate new transfer key"
This authorization code can be used to initiate the transfer at Openprovider.
Soft quarantine
Question
What does the status soft quarantine mean?
Answer
Normally when a domain name is deleted it will immediately enter quarantine state. Most TLDs will charge a fee to reactivate a domain, for gTLDs this can go up to hundreds of dollars.
To reduce the impact of a domain that will expire, Openprovider introduced a functionality called soft quarantine. This means that when the domain name expires, it will no longer be active, but can be reactivated without additional fees.
To achieve this Openprovider use the renewal terms given to our suppliers. These are generally not exactly on the end of the validity period of the domain name and Openprovider can extend it without paying for it. Until the actual end-date is reached, Openprovider allows to reactivate the domain without additional (restore) fee aside from a year renewal of the domain name.
Between the point in time when the domain has expired in the resellers account and the moment prior to its deletion the nameservers of the domain will be changed to:
ina1.registrar.eu
ina2.registrar.eu
ina3.registrar.eu
These nameservers contain their own zone and will show a landing page.
During the time that the domain is in soft quarantine the reseller can reactivate it via your control panel. Note that a the domain in soft quarantine cannot be unlocked. In order to transfer a domain out, it should be reactivated first.
The availability of soft quarantine is described on the extensions pages in the Knowledge Base and can be found under the paragraph "Detailed extension information" of each TLD.

Terminal: Checking if a domain name resolves
Question
How can I check that domain name (web server) resolves?
Answer
You can quickly check if a website is accessible by doing a ping command. This will send a small package of data to the IP address to which the domain is configured, and wait for an answer:
ping openprovider.com
If you get a response, you see the assigned IP address as well. If you do not get a response or a response from a different IP address, you may need to debug.
You can use third party online tools like https://www.whatsmydns.net/ to check the DNS records and their propagation.
Tip: not all servers respond to a ping command. The absence of a response does not necessarily mean that the domain is not available. It may be perfectly available in a browser.
Tip: the other way around, a response to a ping command does not mean that the website can be reached in a browser. There may be no website at all, the web server may be misconfigured, the page may contain errors.
Terminal: Getting domain name information
Question
How do I get a domain name information using shell?
Answer
Use WHOIS command.
While you can retrieve whois information through the control panel, sometimes it is useful to have it plain text, for example, if you want to automate something.
In most cases, a simple whois command works fine:
whois openprovider.com
Some registries (e.g. .com and .net) are known as thin registries - they do not store contact data. They refer to the registrar's whois service instead (search for Registrar WHOIS Server in the output). If your whois application does not query this whois server automatically as well, you can do it yourself using the -h option:
whois -h whois.registrar.eu openprovider.com
Sometimes your whois application cannot find a whois server. This often happens with new gTLDs. In such a case, it's again the -h option that you need. Our extension pages contain the whois servers for most of the registries.
whois -h whois.nic.domains openprovider.domains
Tip: all new gTLDs run their whois server on whois.nic.tld - where "tld" is, of course, the extension that you want to query.
Terminal: Performing DNS lookup for a domain
Question
How do I perform DNS lookup for a domain name?
Answer
The host command reads the DNS and returns the A, AAAA and MX records belonging to a name. This information is very useful at the start of a debugging session:
host yourdomain.tld
* replace yourdomain.tld with your actual domain name.
If the name is a redirect (CNAME) to another name, it will return the information for that other name. For example, www.openprovider.com is a redirect to openprovider.com:
host www.openprovider.com
If you want to see all record types, add the parameter -a:
host -a yourdomain.tld
* replace yourdomain.tld with your actual domain name.
Terminal: Reading nameserver contents
Question
How do I read nameserver contents using terminal commands?
Answer
The dig command gives similar output as a host command but is more flexible. It reads the public contents of a DNS zone. The most basic command just needs the domain name; the following command will return the A record(s) assigned to the domain name openprovider.eu:
dig openprovider.eu
Note that this does not include any subdomains. If you want to know the A record(s) of rcp.openprovider.eu, you will have to specify this in the command:
dig rcp.openprovider.eu
If you want to know the values of other record types, just add the record type to the command. The following example will list the MX (e-mail) records of openprovider.com:
dig openprovider.com mx
You can use any to search for all records for this hostname (again, this does not include sub domains):
dig openprovider.com any
If you want to view DNSSEC-related content, tell the dig command to do so by adding the +dnssec parameter. This will output all signatures (in RRSIG records) and public keys (in DNSKEY records):
dig +dnssec openprovider.com any
The dig command always uses one of the nameservers on which the domain was registered. There may be situations where you want to search one specific nameserver, for example, if you are planning a migration to a new nameserver. To check another nameserver, simply add it to the command:
dig @ns1.openprovider.nl openprovider.com any
If the dig command does not return the expected results, first check if there is an A record defined on the level that you request (domain name itself, or a sub domain). Alternatively, add "any" to your query.
This domain already exists in Openprovider but NOT active
This error (error code: 327) is typically returned when trying to perform an action on a non-active domain.
Example scenarios:
1. Trying to renew a domain via API that is in hard quarantine. Try restore request instead.
2. Trying to transfer a domain that expired under a different Openprovider reseller account. Only active domains can be transferred. Renew/restore the domain before attempting transfer.
3. Trying to request or reset auth code of an expired domain. Reactivate the domain if you would like to request or reset auth code of the domain.
What does "RRQ" domain status mean?
Question
After restore operation, the domain appeared with "RRQ" status.
What does that mean and why is the domain not yet active?
Answer
The "RRQ" abbreviation means "Restore request queued". Such status is set for several extensions during the restoring domain from a redemption. While a majority of registries support real-time domain restore, some registries require additional time to apply internal changes during the recovery process.
In that case, we do not turn domain to "Active" immediately after the restore request sent by the end-user but taking a short pause, temporarily moving the domain to the "RRQ" state (check extensions).
Within a short period of time (as an exception procedure may take up to 24 hours), the domain will return to "Active" state and parking name servers will be updated to regular ones.
What is WPP aka Whois Privacy Protection?
Question
What is Whois Privacy Protection and why one might need it?
Answer
Privacy Protection is a service that hides the domain owner's, admin, and tech contact's details from public WHOIS and replaces them with information from a proxy service.
When one registers a domain name, one's contact details are included in the publicly available WHOIS database. Sometimes it's undesirable to have this data available publicly for the reasons of spam protection or domain hijacking.
The level of data disclosure depends on the registry. Some enable privacy by default (.de), whereas others (.us, .in, .nl, .eu) forbid it altogether.
For instance, in the case of a typical private gTLD domain with WPP enabled, Openprovider will replace the owner's, administrative, and technical contact's details with its proxy service.

Regarding GDPR Regulations
GDPR was adopted by the EU in May 2018.
As a registrar established in the European Economic Area (EEA), we are unable to show the customer 's details in the WHOIS.
This means, by default, even if you have opted in or out for WPP, the contact data will always appear as "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY"
There's nothing that we can do about this; we will have to abide by the GDPR rules.
Due to GDPR, some fields in the WHOIS will always be "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY" (even when the WPP is turned off) in order to comply with the regulations.
Also, it's not possible to enter an email address in the Registrant Email field, due to GDPR. In this field there will be a contact form that will allow you to send an email to the registrant.
For more info, you can see this Knowledge Base article.
What is domicile address (local) presence?
Question
What is a "domicile address" / "local presence" / "trustee service"? When to use it?
Answer
Domicile address (also referred to as "local presence" or "trustee services") implies the presence of a real address in the territory of the state under whose management the registry is located. Some registries, such as Afnic (.fr) and few others, require the owner to have a "local address" during registration. In some cases, the address needs to be in the country itself or in the EU.
(Full requirements per tld are mentioned in the details TLD page)
If an owner doesn’t have such an address, it's possible to enable and activate this option during registration or transfer.
Finally, the user can be sure that the registration will complete successfully and there will be no problems throughout the lifecycle of the domain.
In case a local presence is required but a domicile service via Openprovider is not available, the registrant needs to have an address themselves, otherwise, registration is not possible.
Outgoing transfers and Transfer codes
When a trustee service is used for a domain, it is common that an external transfer code can not be requested. The provider will ask to first disable the trustee service, to update the domain to the trustee service of a new provider or to a new address which is eligible for that extension, before they allow the requesting of the external transfer code. The provider wants to prevent that their trustee is used for domains which are not under their management.
What is the status of my domain request?
Question
What is the status of my domain request and where to find them?
Answer
Registering or transferring domain names are not always processed real-time for all extensions.
Some extensions require additional documents which are verified by the Registry, while other extensions "just take a few days" before the registry will finish the registration / transfer request.
We aim to keep our detailed extension pages in this documentation as up-to-date as possible, to reflect the current registry requirements, processes and expected processing time.
Domain status explained
A domain can have one of the following statuses in the control panel:
ACT
The domain is active in your control panel.
REQ
The domain is requested. This status is common after a transfer or a registration. We advise to review the detailed extension page and see if any additional action or documents are required. And in some cases, only patience is required.
SCH
This transfer is scheduled. This means that a transferdate was added during the transfer request. The transfer will be initiated on the given date (somewhere between 00:01 and 23:59). In case you do not add a transferdate in your request, the transfer is started immediately.
FAI
Your request is failed. This can happen when the request did not meet the Registry requirements (for example, a company number is missing in the handle) or the validation or verification was not processed in time (for example, a link should have been verified to finish a transfer).
We advise to review the detailed extension page, get familiar with the requirements of the extension to see what might have caused the failed request. Want to give it an other try? No problem, in most cases you can re-request the domain directly via the control panel.
Want to start a new request, perhaps with different details? Also possible, but don't forget to first remove the old request, otherwise you will get an error that you can not add a duplicate request.
PEN
Your request is pending. This means the domain is waiting for action before it can be processed and is usually only occurs with internal transfers where the extensions does not support the use of transfercodes (like .uk, .es, dk) In those cases, the current Openprovider reseller has to approve the outgoing transfer.
DEL
The domain is deleted. This status is common when you delete a domain or when it is expired. In most cases, a domain first enters a quarantaine period in which it can be restored for a certain amount of days after the expiration or deletion. In case you do not see the restore button in your control panel, we advise to review the detailed extension page to see if a restore is supported and how many days after a expiration this is possible.
In case the domain is no longer visible in the control panel and the status in the whois is shown as "PendingDelete" the restore will not be possible anymore.
RRQ
The "RRQ" abbreviation means "Restore request queued". This is not a common status. More information can be found here.
Overview
To have an overview of what is still ongoing in the reseller's account Openprovider created a few monitoring queues.
Recent Registrations will show all ongoing registrations.
Recent Domain Trades will show all ongoing outgoing transfers and owner changes.
Transfers will show all recent incoming transfers.
Domains For Renewal will show all the upcoming renewals in the next 28 days. This queue is usually only used by resellers who do not have their account set to auto-renew (which Openprovider recommends to keep 'On').
Restorable Domains will show all recently expired domains and allow the reseller to reactivate them.
Whois Statuses Explained
Our first advice when having trouble when a domain does not resolve or a transfer is failing, to search the domain status in the whois.
This might provide an indication why a page does not resolve or why the transfer is rejected by the registry.
In the whois you will find the name of the current registrar, but also the sentence "Domain Status"
e.g.
Domain Name: OPENPROVIDER.COM
Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Openprovider
Creation Date: 2000-02-04
Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited
In the table below you can find the most common statuses, what it means and what you can do to solve the transfer issue.
Status Code
What does it mean?
Should you do something?
OK / ok
This is a domain's normal status, meaning it has no activities or prohibitions pending.
No, you can start a transfer if the current status is 'OK'.
If you already have a domain at Openprovider and want to prevent outgoing transfers, you can allow the transfer lock to get the "clientTransferProhibited" status.
pendingTransfer
This status code indicates that a request to transfer your domain to a new registrar has been received and is being processed.
If you have not requested that your domain be transferred, you can immediately contact your registrar to request that the transfer request be refused on your behalf.
clientTransferProhibited
This status code informs you that your domain is locked and that the registry will deny requests from your current registrar to move the domain to another one.
This status means that the domain name will not be transferred, which will help to discourage unauthorized transfers.
You must first contact your registrar if you want to transfer your domain, and request that they delete this status code.
In Openprovider, you can do this yourself via the detail-page of the domain.
Other statuses that can affect transfers:
Status Code
What does it mean?
Should you do something?
clientHold
This status code tells your domain's registry to not activate your domain in theDNSand as a consequence, it will not resolve. It is a status that is usually enabled due to an expired contact verification or during a legal disputes.
Often, this status suggests a problem that needs resolution with your domain. If so, please search your control panel for the domain detail page, which will show what the domain problem is.
However, a domain with this status can still be transferred.
serverHold
The Registry sets this status code. In the DNS, your domain is not activated, most likely because of a legal dispute.
Often, this status indicates an issue with your domain that needs to be addressed promptly. In most cases the registrant has been informed by the registry about the issue. Please contact the registrant or us for more information.
However, a domain with this status can still be transferred.
serverTransferProhibited
This status code prevents your domain from being transferred from your current registrar to another. This status is used in the first 60 days after registration or transfer, during legal or other disputes, at your request, or when a redemptionPeriod status is in place.
You need to wait first to verify the registration or last transfer date of the domain, if this is within 60 days.
This status can also imply a problem that needs to be urgently resolved with your domain. You should contact your registrar in that case to request more details and address the issue.
serverDeleteProhibited
This status code prohibits the deletion of your domain. It is a rare status that is normally enforced during court disputes, at your request, or when a status is in effect for the redemption period.
This status can mean a problem requiring resolution with your domain. If so, to request more details and to fix the issue, you can contact your registrar. If there are no problems with your domain and you just want to delete it, you must first contact your registrar and ask them to consult with the Registry Operator to clear this status code.
Alternatively, certain Registry Operators provide a Registry Lock Service that enables registrants to set this status as added protection from unwanted deletions by their registrars. It will take longer to revoke this status than it does for clientDeleteProhibited because the registrar must forward your appeal to the registry of your domain and wait for it to lift the restriction.
redemptionPeriod
This status code indicates that your domain is in Hard Quarantine.
For 30 days, the domain will be kept in this status. Your domain is purged from the registry database after five calendar days after the completion of the redemption period and becomes eligible for registration.
If you wish to retain your domain, you must contact your registrar immediately to address any problems that resulted in your registrar asking your domain to be removed, resulting in your domain's redemptionPeriod status.
pendingDelete
This status means that your domain has been in the redemptionPeriod status for 30 days and that during that period you have not restored it. Your domain will remain in this state for several days, after which time it will purge and remove your domain from the database of the registry.
Once it is removed, the domain is open for re-registration in compliance with the rules of the registry.
Restoring your domain name is no longer a possibility.
Only after it becomes available again may you re-request the domain.
Why Do I See "Email Verification Failed" for a Newly Created Contact Handle?
Overview
If you encounter a status of "Email Verification Failed" for a newly created contact handle, this is due to how our system handles email verification. While we have updated the logic for displaying email addresses on the verification page, the fundamental email verification process remains unchanged. Below is an explanation of the scenarios that could lead to this outcome.
Updated System Behavior
Email addresses with NULL handles (deleted handles) are now hidden on the Contact Verifications page.
The basic logic of the email verification system has not been altered.
Scenarios for a Newly Created Contact Handle
a) If the Email Has Failed Verification Before:
The system has an existing record for this email with a status of "failed".
When a new contact handle is created, the email is assigned to this handle.
The email reappears on the verification page with a status of "failed".
Action Required: Re-verification of the email is necessary.
b) If the Email Was Previously Verified:
The system replaces the NULL handle (from the deleted contact) with the new contact handle.
The email appears in the list with a status of "verified".
No Action Required: The email remains verified; no re-verification is needed.
c) If the Email Verification Is in Progress:
The system updates the email record with the new contact handle.
The ongoing verification process continues for the newly created handle.
Once the verification is complete, the status is updated for the new handle.
Key Points to Remember
A "failed" status indicates that the email needs to be re-verified.
Previously verified emails will not require re-verification unless explicitly changed.
Emails under verification will seamlessly continue the process for the new handle.
For further assistance, please reach out to our support team.
Why do I only see the registrant contact for a domain and not the other contacts (admin, tech, billing)?
As of August 21, 2025, ICANN’s new Registration Data Policy came into effect.
This policy defines the minimum data set that registrars and registries are required to collect and process for domain registrations.
👉 As a result, only the registrant contact can be stored and displayed.
Additional contacts (administrative, technical, billing) are no longer part of the required data set and therefore are no longer available in the RCP.
Working with tags - tagging customers
Some of the features of Openprovider can be configured in such a way, that different (groups of) customers are treated in their own special way. The basis of this functionality are the so-called tags.
A tag marks an object (for example a customer object) with a special value. Some examples include:
Collect your most valuable customers under one tag:
valued-customer
even-more-valued-customer
Collect the customers of your different brands under a couple of tags:
My Brand A
My Brand B
My Brand C
Collect the customers of each of your resellers under their specific tag:
Reseller A
Reseller B
Reseller C
But you're completely free in defining this: you could even group all your customers by the color of their car, although the use of that could be limited!
Defining the tags
Start by defining the different tags that you want to use by opening Account > Settings > Tag management. This example will define two reseller-based tags:
Assign tags to a customer
Now it's time to assign your valued customers their right tags. Do this at the time of new customer creation, or search an existing customer and update its data. This example shows the location when creating a new customer object:
Creating a custom e-mail template
Now it is time to compose your customized e-mail templates. In this example, we will show you two separate templates for your two resellers. You can fully personalize each of them, with their own e-mail addresses, subjects, bodies - everything. Note that a different article in this knowledge base describes the technical part of the customization.
The end result, shown in the last image, is the following:
Any customer tagged Reseller A will receive one of the customized 'reseller A' templates, based on his language. If the language is not set, it will be selected based on the country code. If the language is not in the list, it will default to the Dutch version (you can select any template as default).
Any customer tagged Reseller B will receive one of the customized 'reseller B' templates, based on his language. If the language is not set, it will be selected based on the country code. If the language is not in the list, it will default to the Dutch version (you can select any template as default).
If you want to create a lot of different tags and templates, the API might be useful! Refer to the emailTemplates and tag modules,
You have not signed the latest version of the contract for registering this domain
Error
"You have not signed the latest version of the contract for registering this domain"
You may encounter this error when trying to register or transfer domains via RCP (Reseller Control Panel) or via API.
Control Panel
API
Error code: 309
Error message: You have not signed the latest version of the contract for registering this domain
Solution
The error/message indicates that you have not signed the latest version of the contract for registering this extension. After signing the TLD/extension contract, please try ordering the domain again. If you are attempting domain registration or transfer via RCP (Reseller Control Panel), you can simply click on the checkbox in the message as shown in the image below and click on 'Confirm' button.
If you are using API integration or an integration plugin like WHMCS, Blesta, HostBill, etc. for registering or transferring domains, please log into the control panel and navigate to Account >> Contracts. Look for the extension/TLD you are trying to register and click on the TLD to expand it. After reading the terms and conditions, click on "I agree to these terms and conditions" button.
clientDeleteProhibited & clientUpdateProhibited
Question:
Can we enable clientDeleteProhibited & clientUpdateProhibited flags for domains?
Answer:
No, these locks / flags are is not supported in Openprovider.
The clientTransferProhibited is supported and also activated after registration.
This lock can be managed from the control panel.
gTLD domain has serverTransferProhibited EPP status
Symptoms
Domain has 'serverTransferProhibited' EPP status.
Cause
Domain has been transferred or registered less than 60 days ago.
OR
Domain is in a legal dispute.
Resolution
In case of 60 days lock - EPP status will be removed by the registry automatically.
In case of a legal dispute - depends on the outcome of the case.
gTLD domain owner email is changed, but email verification reminders still sent to old address
Symptoms
gTLD domain owner email verification is started, then domain owner email changed to another one, but former email address still receives verification reminders.
Cause
Once email verification is started, it is finishes either once address is verified, or verification deadline is reached, regardless of the current domain owner email.
Resolution
Email either should be verified or notifications ignored until deadline. Once its reached - notifications stop.
NB: Verification reminders should be ignored only if one is sure there are no handles with this email tied to gTLD domains. Otherwise, these domains will be suspended
🇪🇸 Bloquear la transferencia de un dominio
Pregunta
¿Puedo bloquear un dominio para que no sea transferido?
Respuesta
Cuando tengas un dominio bajo tu control, puedes bloquear su transferencia desde el panel de control.
Solo entra en la lista de dominios, selecciona el que quieras y, si la opción está disponible, activa el bloqueo como se muestra en la imagen.
NB: algunas extensiones no permiten el bloqueo de transferencias.
🇪🇸 Preguntas frecuentes .es
La extensión .es es muy frecuente en España pero es cierto que el modo de registro y transferencia provoca alguna que otra pregunta. Con este artículo esperamos que estas pequeñas dudas queden resueltas:
1. Error: Registration number cannot be blank
Es importante saber que el registro obliga a añadir el número CIF o el DNI del titular, dependiendo de si es una empresa o una persona física. Este error aparece cuando la casilla correspondiente al número está en blanco y el registro no puede crear el contacto correspondiente.
Para solventar este error solo tienes que clicar en elcontactocorrespondiente al dominio (los tres contactos deben tener el CIF o el NIF) y añadir el número.
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.
Una vez los contactos estén actualizados, vuelve a probar el registro o la actualización del dominio y verás como funciona.
2. Cambio las DNS en Openprovider pero no se cambian en ESNIC
Hay dos motivos por los cuales puede que la actualización del dominio (DNS, contactos...) en Openprovider no sincronice con Esnic.
1. Falta de CIF o NIF en TODOS los contactos (mira pregunta anterior).
2. La "provincia" falta en alguno de los contactos o está mal escrita. Asegúrate aquí de cómo se debe escribir la provincia.
3. Cambio el email del contacto administrativo pero no se cambia en ESNIC
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.
4.
Error: the state/province is incorrect
Error: El código postal XXXXX no se corresponde con la > provincia XX
Para registrar un .ES es obligatorio añadir la provincia. La mayoría no ofrecen dudas, pero algunas como La Coruña o Álaba sí.Aquítienes el listado de cómo deben escribirse las provincias.
Por favor, modifica la provincia o añádela y prueba de nuevo.
5. ¿Cómo puedo cambiar el titular de un dominio .es?
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.
6. ¿Cómo puedo reenviar el email al contacto administrativo para una transferencia?
Este email no se puede reenviar manualmente. Se debe cancelar la transferencia e iniciarla de nuevo.
¡NOVEDAD!: Ahora una transferencia de .es ya se puede cancelar desde el panel de control de Openprovider, desde la lista de transferencias. Una vez cancelada, por favor elimina el dominio. Una vez cancelada y eliminado podrás volver a solicitar la transferencia para que el email se vuelva a enviar.
7. ¿Por qué la fecha de expiración en Openprovider es 6 días antes de la fecha en el registro?
Al trabajar con autorenovación con el registro, nos obligan a avisarlos unos días antes si vamos a renovar o no el dominio. En el caso de los .es son 6 días antes.
Esto quiere decir que los .es se deben renovar 6 días antes de la fecha de expiración del registro, te debes fijar en la fecha de renovación de Openprovider. Si no lo renuevas antes de esa fecha, el dominio pasa a estado "eliminado" en tu panel, pero la web sigue funcionando hasta la fecha de expiración. Podrás reactivar ese dominio gratuitamente durante esos 6 días más los 10 que da el registro, es decir, durante 16 días desde que ha caducado en Openprovider.
En el artículo de .es, https://openprovider.help/books/domains/page/es, puedes verlo en "Technical information / Renewal date offset".
Si después de leer este artículo aún tienes alguna duda sobre los .ES, por favor ponte en contacto con soporte@openprovider.es.
🇪🇸 Transferencia de dominio cobrada pero dominio no renovado
Pregunta
¿Por qué el dominio no se han renovado con la transferencia pero se ha cobrado?
Respuesta
Tenga en cuenta que esto es común para los gTLD, como los dominios .com, .net, .org...
Si se le ha cobrado una transferencia, puede estar seguro de que Openprovider ha renovado el dominio. Si se da cuenta de que no se ha añadido un año a la fecha de caducidad, en la mayoría de los casos, esta es la explicación:
En el momento de la transferencia, el dominio estaba en autoRenewPeriod en el registrador antiguo. De acuerdo con la política de ICANN, para los dominios transferidos durante el autoRenewPeriod, la renovación se cancela en el registrador perdedor y se le cobra al registrador ganador (Openprovider).
Si el registrador antiguo le cobró por esta renovación, debe solicitar un reembolso, ya que el registrador debería haber recibido el dinero del registro.
Policies, legal and procedures
Abuse and complaints policy in Openprovider
Question
How does Openprovider handle complaints and abuse notifications about domain names?
Answer
General note
First of all, be aware that Openprovider, as a domain-only provider and not providing any content, hosting or e-mail services, are not in a position to judge the contents of a website. For that reason, our normal procedure is that we inform our reseller and the domain holder, but will not suspend the domain names without an official WIPO decision or court order (see below).
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that our reseller will respond to the complainant.
Informal complaints
As long as there is no court order, WIPO decision or other formal decision, disputes and complaints about a domain name are primarily handled between the domain holder and his or her direct provider. If the whois shows no contact information of the domain holder, you can send a message to one of the domain contacts through our contact form. Trusted senders can also send an e-mail to abuse@openprovider.com.
If that is not possible for any reason, the complainant can contact Openprovider's abuse department; see our article on reporting abuse for further information. We will promptly contact our customer about the issue and ask him to solve it. If this does not succeed, we will escalate the complaint and cooperate to find a suitable solution.
This solution will always be based on the contracts with and policies of the respective registry. If a solution is implemented without involvement of our customer (reseller), additional proof of identification of the registrant is required.
We use the Zendesk ticketing system for tracking abuse notifications. Each submitted report is automatically assigned a ticket number which the complainant receives in a copy of his message. Each complaint is tagged with specific labels for analysis purposes.
Court order, WIPO and similar organisations
In case of a formal court order, WIPO case or similar situation, Openprovider will temporarily lock the domain against any modifications by moving it to a special account. This does not imply any changes to the domain name: the domain data will remain the same and the domain will remain functional, it just cannot be altered for the duration of the proceeding.
Depending on the outcome of the case, we will implement the decision or move the domain back into our reseller's management:
If the outcome is in favor of the complainant, Openprovider is required to implement the decision on the domain name and we will do so within 5 calendar days. This can be an update to the domain data (including change of registrant), provisioning of the authorization code, unlocking of the domain name or deletion of the domain.
If the outcome is in favor of the domain registrant, we will return the domain under management of our reseller again without altering any data.
Renew and restore
For the duration of the complaint, not only the registrant (through our reseller), but also the complainant can ask for renewal or reactivation of the domain name. If you are the complainant, please contact us in such a case.
UDRP
In general, Openprovider follows the Uniform Domainname Resolution Policy or UDRP.
You can find all details about this policy on ICANN's website.
Abuse investigation by registries
A wide range of registries perform their own analysis on potentially abusive domain names. This can be based on publicly available blacklists or other reporters. In most cases, found domains are reported by the registry and we report them to our resellers. However, in some cases the registry suspends domain names without informing us. If you suspect a legitimate domain name from being suspended by the registry without reason, please contact us.
In most cases, domain names are suspended (they do not resolve anymore) and not deleted, so the domain can still be renewed and will not be lost.
Radix Registry's proactive analysis
Registry Radix (managing extensions like .online, .site, .website and .tech) also performs "Proactive analysis". Proactive analysis is a process through which suspicious domains are identified based on various parameters and are proactively suspended to ensure the domain is disabled before an abuse activity is conducted or before severe damage is caused. The parameters are various variables ranging from keywords (e.g. trademark names) in the domain name, the registration pattern to registrant information, associated nameserver, similarity between the current and historic registrations, and many more.
In case of a suspended Radix domain, after solving the issue (or if a domain is flagged as a false positive), the registrant can submit an unsuspension request through https://radix.website/report-abuse with a reasoning and/or the purpose of registration. Radix shall review the request and if found valid, the domain shall be considered for unsuspension.
Corona and domain names
The corona pandemic impacts the world and unfortunately some persons are misusing this pandemic for their own gain. Many governments and registries adopt special procedures around domains that are related to corona, mostly based on keywords in the domain name (corona, covid, facemask, ...). If you register such domain, you may find that the delegation on the internet is delayed, or the registry asks the registrant for more information.
Although each registry has its own details, the following are the most common actions:
Registries may delay delegation in the zone file of corona related domain names. That means that a domain name is not immediately available on the internet.
Registries may ask the registrant to confirm their data, for example by uploading proof of identity.
Registries may check domain names that are corona related and send a "notice and takedown" request to the registrar. We will suspend the domain names in such cases if no sufficient response is received.
Registries may delete domain names that they flag as abusive.
In general, if you have registered a domain name that can be related to corona and that domain name is not activated as usual, first check the details (legitimacy) of the registrant, your own e-mail and ask your customer / registrant to check his e-mail to see if there was a request for further information on the domain name. If not and the domain name does still not resolve after 48 hours, you can contact us for more information.
Escalation procedure - Token request of a domain (reseller)
Question:
Which actions are expected from the reseller by an escalation of the domain owner?
Answer:
When the domain owner contacts Openprovider requesting the authorization code of a domain or any other change regarding one of the domains the reseller has under his account,. Openprovider will contact the reseller.
Openprovider, as an ICANN-accredited registrar , is obliged to generate the authorization code or apply any changes within 5 working days if the owner of the domain requests it.
Before that, Openprovider will ask the reseller to contact the domain owner to handle the request. In case the reseller does not respond, Openprovider has to generate the codes for the end customer.
Therefore, Openprovider will contact the reseller to inform him about what is going on; if no answer is given, we will apply the requested changes within 5 working days.
Keep in mind that ICANN and the registry rules, as well as our Terms and Conditions, place the registrant above the reseller when it comes to deciding what is done to a domain name and what is not.
For example, an unpaid invoice is not a valid reason to decline an update or a reset of the authorization code.
Escalation procedure - External .nl domain
Question
How to start an escalation process in case the current registrar of a .nl domain does not provide a transfer code?
Answer
Openprovider can start an escalation procedure when the owner of a .nl domain wants to retrieve their transfer code (also referred to as authorization code / token) , but has trouble to receive this from the current registrar. A reason can be that the company is bankrupt, does not respond, or in case of conflict.
SIDN provides a procedure to start an escalation process, in which the current registrar gets 5 working-days to resolve the issue himself or, in case the issue is not resolved in 5 days, SIDN will verify the owner and provide the transfer code.
The following documents are required (by email to support) to start this process:
If the registrant is a natural person:
a copy of the identity document of the registrant
proof of ownership (available here, more information available in our .nl article (Transfer > Proof of ownership))
proof that the registrant first requested the code at the current registrar (for example an e-mail)
proof that the registrant wants to transfer the domain name to Openprovider (for example, an e-mail)
If the registrant is a legal person (company):
a business registration document from the Chamber of Commerce (not older than six months) from the registrant
a copy of the identity document of the person authorised according to the business registration document
proof that the registrant first requested the code at the current registrar (for example an e-mail)
a proof that this registrant wants to move the domain name to Openprovider (for example an e-mail)
Domain in quarantine
In case the domain itself is not active, but already in quarantine, a different process can be used.
Please follow the steps in this article if the domain is currently in quarantine.
Escalation procedure - External transfer from quarantine | Available for .nl and .be
The Registry for .nl (SIDN) and the Registry for .be (DNSBelgium) offer the option to transfer and restore a domain which is currently in quarantine at a different registrar.
This has been implemented in the RCP for .be domains.
This is a manual process via the support department for .nl domains - support@openprovider.com
The costs for the transfer + restore is € 75 (per domain, excl VAT)
Requirements for a .be transfer from quarantine:
the domain name
a valid authorization code (can be requested at the Registry)
the handles (owner, admin, tech, billing) matching the current whois details
nameservers
approval of the fee in the control panel via the checkbox
The request can be submitted via the transfer page in the control panel and will be processed realtime.
Requirements for a .nl transfer from quarantine:
Add the following details in the email:
the domain name
the handles (owner, admin, tech, billing) matching the current whois details
nameservers
awareness and approval of the fee
proof that the registrant wants to transfer the domain name to Openprovider (for example, an e-mail)
proof of ownership (available here, more information available in our .nl article (Transfer > Proof of ownership))
identification documents:
If the registrant is a natural person:
a copy of the identity document of the registrant
If the registrant is a legal person (company):
a business registration document from the Chamber of Commerce (not older than six months) from the registrant
a copy of the identity document of the person authorised according to the business registration document
Escalation procedure - Internal transfer from quarantaine
Question
How to transfer a domain which is currently in quarantine (redemption period) at a different Openprovider reseller?
Answer
When a domain name is in quarantine (redemptionPeriod), there is an option to restore that domain name via another Openprovider reseller if the current provider can or does not assist. A reason can be that the company is bankrupt, does not respond or in case of conflict. This process can be started on explicit request from the legitimate domain owner only.
To start this process, please send an e-mail to support@openprovider.com containing the following information:
your Openprovider reseller ID
a copy of the identity document of the registrant
in case of a legal entity: a business registration document from the Chamber of Commerce (not older than six months) from the registrant. (The identity card provided needs to match the person mentioned in the registration document.)
proof that the registrant first requested the restore at the current provider (for example an e-mail)
proof that the registrant wants you to initiate the transfer (for example, an e-mail)
confirmation of the involved costs.
The process:
Openprovider validates the request and the provided documentation.
If the request is valid, the deleted domain will be transferred to the account of the requesting reseller
The domain will restored and renewed. The following costs are charged to the account of the new reseller: the restore and renewal fee based on the extension plus € 25,- administrative fee
Openprovider informs the previous and new reseller about the transfer
We intend to complete your request within one business day
Notes:
The procedure mentioned below is only valid when a domain is in soft / hard quarantine. When a domain has the status "pending delete" this option is not available: the domain cannot be restored anymore
If the domain name is currently active, a different procedure is followed to request the transfercode
If the domain name is a .nl or .be domain and in quarantine at a different registrar, follow this article
Escalation procedure - Token request of a domain (registrant)
Question
How to receive a domain authorisation code if the reseller doesn't respond to one's request?
Answer
Openprovider will start an escalation procedure when the owner of a domain want to retrieve their authorisation code.
Openprovider, as registrar, is obliged to generate the authorisation code of the domain or to apply any changes in the current contacts if the owner of the domain requests it. Therefore Openprovider need to confirm that the person contacting Openprovider speaks in name of the owner of the domain. Before this escalation procedure can start Openprovider need:
Copy of id card
(If the domain is registered on a company name we should receive a Chamber of Commerce letter)
Invoice of the domain
Please note : THIS POINT IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR .nl DOMAINS. Proof of ownership (available here, more information available in our .nl article (Transfer > Proof of ownership))
Please note : THIS POINT IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR INDIAN CUSTOMERS . a. ID Proof of the Domain Owner (PAN / Aadhar / Driving License / Passport) b. If the domain is registered in the name of a company / organization, please submit us either Company Registration Certificate / GST Registration Certificate / Certificate of Incorporation (if applies).
These documents should be send to Openprovider, using the form "I am a domain owner" on the following page" https://www.openprovider.com/company/contact-us/contact-support
When Openprovider has received the escalation from the domain owner Openprovider will first contact the reseller where the domain is administrated to inform about where the escalation is about, Openprovider will ask the reseller to proceed with the request of the domain owner. In case the reseller does not collaborate send us a reply after 5 working days. Openprovider will provide the authorisation code by email on which the domain is registered or apply the desired changes in the contact details.
How to Request Access to Non-Public WHOIS Data (NPRD)
Overview
For privacy and data-protection reasons, personal information in domain registration data is no longer publicly visible in WHOIS lookups.
Openprovider, as an ICANN-accredited registrar, may disclose limited non-public registration data to third parties who can demonstrate a legitimate and proportionate interest, in accordance with:
The ICANN Registration Data Policy (RDP);
Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (legitimate interest basis); and
Other applicable data-protection and privacy laws.
Every request is individually assessed to ensure that the legitimate interests of the requester do not override the privacy rights of the data subject.
Please note: Disclosures for domain names using Whois Privacy Protection (WPP) or other proxy services are handled separately under the Specification on Privacy and Proxy Registrations (P/P Specification) of the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).

How to act if someone else registers a domain with your trademark?
Question
How to act if someone else registers a domain name with your trademark name?
Answer
Most registries do not scan domain names against known trademarks. In other words: everybody can register a domain name, even microsoft.com or google.nl if it wasn't already taken. If this happens to your or your customer's trademark and damage is done, there are three methods to deal with this: the domain dispute policies URS and UDRP, and a formal complaint to a court.
URS and UDRP
The Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) and Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) have a lot of overlap, but also differences. URS is the smaller and faster variant of UDRP, introduced with the launch of the new gTLDs in 2013.
Both types define three prerequisites that must all be met to make a complaint valid:
the registered domain is identical or confusingly similar to the trademark
the registrant has no legitimate right or interest to the domain name
the domain name was registered and is used in bad faith (includes 'just for selling to trademark holder', domain hijacking, ...)
If not all three prerequisites are met, URS and UDRP are no option.
The common parts of URS and UDRP are, that a complaint is filed and an arbitration committee reviews the complaint. This leads to an outcome. However, while UDRP can force a domain to be transferred to the complainant, URS can only lead to suspension of the domain name.
This table lists the most important differences between URS and UDRP:
URS
UDRP
Supported extensions
New gTLDs
Some legacy gTLDs
A few ccTLDs
All gTLDs
various ccTLDs
Eligibility
Registered trademarks only
Also common-law trademarks
Price (depends on provider)
Cheaper
More expensive
Resolution
Suspension of domain only
Transfer or cancellation of domain
Speed
Faster (few weeks)
Slower (few months)
Deliverables
Full proof of lack of legitimate interest and bad faith
Report likeliness of lack of legitimate interest and bad faith
Regular court
If URS and UDRP cannot be used, for example because the domain owner is not using the domain in bad faith, the trademark holder may refer to his or her local court. Whether or not this will be successful depends on too many variables to describe here: the coverage of the trademark, the jurisdiction of the domain owner, the contents of the website... We advise to contact a legal advisor.
Trademark Protection Services
Exactly for this kind of situations, a couple of providers offer trademark protection services like DPML and TREx. That prevents the trademark holder from defensively registering a lot of domain names, and protects against non-trademark holders registering the domains. More information is available in our knowledge base.
NIC.NI Registry Policy Changes Affecting .NI Domains
Overview
The NIC.NI registry has announced a reorganization of its operations to align with new national legal requirements in Nicaragua. As a result, new restrictions and validation procedures have been implemented for the registration and renewal of .ni domain names.
These changes are mandatory and apply to all registrars and domain holders without exception.
Key Changes from NIC.NI
1. Compliance with Cybercrime Law (Ley N° 1042 - LEY ESPECIAL DE CIBERDELITOS)
All .ni domain names must comply with the provisions of Nicaragua's Cybercrime Law. Domains associated with content or activities that are prohibited under this law cannot be registered or renewed.
2. Prohibited Content Categories
NIC.NI will not permit the registration or renewal of domains that are related to:
Online gambling services (e.g., casinos, betting sites)
Adult content (e.g., pornography, explicit content platforms)
Domains falling under these categories will be automatically rejected.
3. Registry-Led Validation Process
NIC.NI will conduct manual validation checks on all domain applications to ensure compliance with their new policies.
This process is now a required step for both new registrations and renewals.
Delays may occur due to processing times. Validation may take several weeks or more.
Approval is at the sole discretion of the NIC.NI registry.
What You Need to Do
Review your current .ni domains to ensure they comply with the new requirements.
When registering or renewing a .ni domain, allow extra time for the validation process.
Avoid submitting domains related to prohibited categories, as they will be rejected.
If you are unsure about compliance, consult a legal advisor familiar with Nicaraguan cybercrime law.
New DNSbelgium Registrant Verification Process
From 1st March 2022, dnsBelgium will implement in production a new registrant verification process.
This process is really simple, and it will ensure the ownership of the domains:
Domain is registered by a private individual (by default, in pendingCreate);
The registrant will receive an email from dnsBelgium with a link to validate the owner data;
Once the data is validated, the domain will be active.
For company registrations, a company contact can go through verification.
To validate the registrant information for Belgian private individuals, the registry is using the service “itsme” or “eID card reader”.
To validate the registrant information for Dutch private individuals, the registry is using the service “itsme” or “iDIN”.
For registrants outside The Netherlands or Belgium, the registrants will have to validate their identity using Onfido.
The registry created a video to explain the full process: https://www.tryout.dnsbelgium.be/en/verification
URS procedure (Uniform Rapid Suspension System)
Question
What is the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) procedure?
Answer
URS ('Uniform Rapid Suspension System') is a fast complaint procedure which is based on the existing UDRP ('Uniform Domainname Resolution Policy') but has a lower-cost and faster path to relief for rights holders in the most clear-cut cases of infringement. Most generic TLDs (like .com, .london and .email) support URS. A clear description of the procedures is in the attached URS procedures.pdf file, extended information in URS rules.pdf and URS technical requirements.pdf. Full information can be found on ICANN's website.
A rights holder can file a complaint with one of the URS providers (currently just three: FORUM, ADNDRC and MFSD). This can be done if three pre-conditions are met (all of them, not just a sub-set):
the registered domain is identical or confusingly similar to the trademark
the registrant has no legitimate right or interest to the domain name
the domain name was registered and is used in bad faith (includes 'just for selling to trademark holder', domain hijacking, ...)
Process
Filing, locking and informing
As an example, two PDF files that introduce a complaint to the registrar are attached to this article.
The procedure starts with filing the complaint at a URS provider
A complaint can be filed for multiple domains together; if this number exceeds 15 domains, the respondent needs to pay a fee as well.
If the complaint is accepted, the registry is informed and the registry locks the domain ('server' locks). No modifications (including delete and transfer) can be done anymore.
As soon as domain is locked, the URS provider informs the registrar by e-mail and the registrant (from whois data) by postal mail, fax and e-mail. The complaint is translated by the URS provider into the registrant's language.
Responding
The registrant has 14 days (can be extended to maximum 21 days upon request) to respond electronically, in less than 2.500 words. The response should include:
confirmation of registrant data
for each of the grounds of the complaint a specific admission or denial
any defense which contradicts the complainant's claims (examples of contradicting 'bad faith' are listed in URS procedures.pdf in 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9)
a statement that the contents are true and accurate
Decision
An independent examiner examines the response and decides
If the decision is in favor of the registrant, the domain is unlocked again and returned to full control of the registrar and registrant
If the decision is in favor of the complainant, the domain is redirected to an informative page of the URS provider and remains locked by the registry. The original whois data (except for the nameservers) does not change.
The registrant has 6 months (can be extended to 12 months) to file an additional response and ask for a new examination.
Domain lifecycle
If the decision is in favor of the registrant, the domain is handled like every other domain. If the decision is in favor of the complainant however, the domain remains locked until the end of the registration period, after which the domain is deleted. The complainant can once request a one-year renewal of the domain name, which will be charged by Openprovider to the complainant. After this additional year ends, the domain will be deleted.
As you can read in the above procedure, the domain name is just locked for changes and redirected to a landing page. At the end of its registration period the domain is deleted. The URS procedures do not lead to an order to transfer the domain to the complainant. If the complainant wants to get control over the domain name, he should file a regular UDRP complaint.
Where does Openprovider join the game?
Openprovider is no party in the complaint and response processes. Apart from being informed as stakeholder of the domain name (the registrar), we only can follow up a request from the complainant to renew the domain for one more year.
Abuse en Openprovider
Este articulo describe cómo presentar una queja sobre un dominio. Teniendo en cuenta nuestro rol como registrador, nosotros informaremos al revendedor (reseller) pero no podemos juzgar el contenido o transferir el dominio a otro titular o registrador. Para esos casos, por favor lee nuestra Política de quejas y abuse.
Información para el reclamante
Si quieres informarnos de un caso de abuse puedes contactar con nosotros enviando un email a abuse@openprovider.com. Para que podamos actuar con más rapidez necesitamos que nos envíes el dominio fraudulento y una explicación detallada de lo que sucede con el dominio. Algunos ejemplos de abuse pueden ser:
- Una tienda fraudulenta que vende productos falsos o que no envían los productos comprados.
- Suplantación de identidad o de datos
- Contenido prohibido o no permitido
- Copyright
Es importante que nos envíes una queja clara y que incluyas tus datos de contacto en el email.
Por favor, es muy importante que tengas en cuenta que nosotros somos el registrador del dominio pero no somos los responsables del contenido del dominio ya que ni ofrecemos hosting ni email. Esto quiere decir que nosotros no estamos en posición de juzgar el contenido ni obligados a suspender, eliminar o transferir un dominio.
Por esta razón, nuestro procedimiento normal es informar al revendedor del dominio y reenviarles la queja. Ellos, en comunicación con el titular del dominio, serán los que decidirán investigar, suspender, solucionar el abuse o eliminar el dominio.
Si después de contactar con nosotros ves que el problema sigue allí, lo que deberás hacer solicitar una queja formal a ICANN (https://www.icann.org/es/compliance/complaint) o WIPO (http://www.wipo.int/portal/en/index.html). Solamente con una resolución formal nosotros podremos eliminar o transferir un dominio.
Información para el reseller (revendedor)
Cuando recibimos una queja, la reenviamos al reseller y marcamos el dominio como "abusivo". Este correo electrónico contiene una fecha límite.
Normalmente, el reseller tiene 5 días para resolver el problema y proporcionar una respuesta utilizando el panel de control. Este marco de tiempo puede ser diferente en casos específicos. La respuesta debe indicar claramente cómo se solucionó el problema y cómo se evitará el abuso en el futuro. O bien, si la queja no es válida, debe explicar claramente por qué la queja es incorrecta.
Asegúrese de enviar una respuesta antes de la fecha límite. La falta de respuesta puede provocar la suspensión del dominio: el dominio permanece inactivo. Si se suspende un dominio, el revendedor será informado por otro correo electrónico. En cualquier momento, el revendedor puede eliminar la suspensión del dominio del panel de control.
Openprovider tiene las siguientes opciones:
Solo notificar: no se programarán acciones de seguimiento. Por ejemplo, una solicitud para eliminar información específica de un sitio web más grande o malware distribuido a través de un subdominio.
Suspender dominio: cuando la fecha límite pase y no haya respuesta, el dominio se desactivará. El sitio web, el correo electrónico y otros servicios dejarán de funcionar. El reseller puede reactivar fácilmente un dominio proporcionando una respuesta válida a través del panel de control.
Eliminar dominio: en circunstancias excepcionales, es posible que se nos solicite eliminar un nombre de dominio del registro.
Reporting abuse
This article explains how to submit a complaint about a domain name to our team. As the registrar, we will notify the relevant reseller; however, we cannot make judgments about website content, nor can we transfer a domain to another owner or registrar. For such matters, please refer to our formal Abuse and Complaints Policy.
As a large registrar, some domains under our management may be misused for fraudulent web-shops, phishing, copyright infringements, or other forms of abuse. If you encounter such domains, please report them to our abuse department via this website: https://abuse.registrar.eu
Common misunderstanding while reporting abuse:
Before submitting an abuse report, please be aware of a very common misunderstanding: Domain registrars like Openprovider manage domain name registrations (for example, yourexample.com or yourownbusiness.nl). We maintain the technical link between a domain name and the services it connects to but we do not host or control the website content displayed under that domain. If you have concerns about a website’s content, please contact the website owner or the hosting provider directly, as they are the ones able to review and remove the material in question.
Contacting the Domain Owner
The domain owner (registrant) can usually be reached in one of the following ways: Through the website itself: You can look for a “Contact,” “About,” or “Legal” page. This is usually the fastest and most direct way to reach the website owner.
By performing a Whois lookup : Check for a “Registrant Email” address or a privacy contact form. If privacy protection is active use the contact form included in the Whois results to send a message through the privacy service.
Openprovider cannot forward messages or mediate between you and the registrant regarding website content.
Finding the Website’s Hosting Provider
If the issue relates to where the website is hosted, you can often identify the hosting company by checking the domain’s Name Server (NS) records via a Whois lookup.
Example:
Name Server: ns1.hostexample.net
Name Server: ns2.hostexample.net
The part after “ns1.” or “ns2.” (in this case, hostexample.net) often points to the hosting or DNS provider. In some cases, the domain may use a security or performance network (such as a content delivery network), which does not host the website itself. If so, visit that network’s website to find their abuse reporting page or guidance for identifying the underlying host.
At Openprovider, we understand it’s not always easy to determine who is responsible for a website’s content. However, reaching out to the correct party (the registrant or hosting provider) ensures your concern is addressed efficiently and by the people who can act on it.
Information for the complainant
If you wish to report an abuse case, please contact us by completing the contact form. To help us act more efficiently, include the fraudulent domain name and a clear explanation of why you believe the domain is being misused.
As the registrar, we may take immediate action in certain cases, such as DNS abuse. In other situations, however, we are required to follow defined processes before taking further steps.
Examples of abuse that we can address immediately:
Phishing & Pharming
Examples:
Fake websites imitating legitimate services (e.g., banks) to steal personal information.
Deceptive emails that appear to come from trusted sources in order to capture login credentials.
Redirections from legitimate websites to fraudulent ones.
Required Evidence:
Full URLs of the suspected phishing sites or screenshots clearly showing the fraudulent content.
Copies of phishing emails, including complete email headers (with IP addresses and sender details).
What Happens Next:
If phishing is confirmed, we will take immediate action to suspend the domain.
If the provided evidence is insufficient, we will escalate the case to the reseller or hosting provider for further investigation.
Malware & Botnets
Examples:
Websites distributing malicious software (e.g., ransomware, spyware, trojans).
Domains used to control botnets engaged in illegal activities.
Required Evidence:
Malware scan results, antivirus or security logs, or screenshots showing the malicious behavior.
URLs associated with malware distribution or botnet command-and-control.
What Happens Next:
If confirmed that the domain is spreading malware, we will take immediate action to suspend it.
If the evidence points to a compromised subpage or hosting account, we will refer the case to the reseller or hosting provider for remediation.
Examples of abuse that conditions need to be met for us to act:
Pharmacy & Drug Complaints
Examples of Abuse:
Websites selling illegal or unlicensed drugs without valid prescriptions.
Online pharmacies offering controlled substances (e.g., opioids) without proper authorization.
Required Evidence:
Official reports from law enforcement or government agencies.
Proof that the pharmacy is operating without a valid license.
Jurisdiction:
Action can only be taken if the jurisdiction of the reporter aligns with both the domain holder’s jurisdiction and our company’s jurisdiction.
If jurisdictions do not align, the case must be referred to the appropriate local authorities or to the reseller/hosting provider for further handling.
Openprovider has jurisdiction on these locations - Netherlands, Spain, Russia, India, Canada.
What Happens Next:
If all conditions are met and sufficient evidence is provided, the domain will be suspended.
If the evidence is insufficient or falls outside our jurisdiction, we recommend contacting your local law enforcement or reaching out directly to the hosting provider, who can take the appropriate action on their servers.
Child Abuse Material (CSAM)
Examples of Abuse:
Websites hosting, distributing, or sharing illegal content involving minors.
Required Evidence:
Verified reports from trusted child protection organizations or law enforcement authorities.
What Happens Next:
Upon receipt of a verified request from law enforcement or a recognized child protection authority, the domain will be suspended immediately.
If the report does not come from a trusted authority, we will escalate the matter by notifying the appropriate agencies for further investigation.
At Openprovider, we treat all CSAM allegations with the utmost seriousness and are committed to supporting the enforcement of laws designed to protect children online. However, as a registrar, we are neither permitted nor equipped to validate such allegations ourselves, and we cannot require employees to review suspected CSAM material.
We strongly encourage you to act swiftly and report suspected CSAM directly to law enforcement in your country. You can find the appropriate reporting channel via the official INHOPE website.
Intellectual Property (Trademark)
Examples of Abuse:
Unauthorized use of trademarks, copyrights, or patents.
Required Evidence:
A valid court order or a complaint from a trusted authority (e.g., WIPO).
Proof that the complainant is the legitimate trademark holder or an authorized representative.
Reference to the applicable law under which the alleged infringement falls.
Clear URLs and file paths where the infringement occurs.
Special Note for India:
If the domain is registered under Indian jurisdiction, you may also file a complaint under India’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) policy.
We will act in accordance with legal rulings issued by the relevant Indian authorities.
What Happens Next:
If a court order or ruling is provided, we will suspend the domain.
If the evidence is insufficient, we will advise you on pursuing official legal channels, such as the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).
Other Illegal Activities
Examples of Abuse:
Online activities prohibited by law, such as financial scams, illegal content distribution, cyberstalking, or the sale of contraband.
Required Evidence:
Official requests from law enforcement authorities or valid court orders.
What Happens Next:
As a registrar, we cannot take direct action on these cases unless they involve phishing, malware, or other forms of DNS abuse.
We strongly recommend reporting such illegal activities directly to law enforcement or contacting the hosting provider, who can act more quickly to remove or block the content.
Examples of abuse we do not act:
Spam (Not Phishing or Malware)
Examples of Abuse:
Mass-distributed unsolicited emails, such as irrelevant marketing or promotional offers.
Required Evidence:
Sample spam emails, including complete email headers (with IP addresses and sender details).
What Happens Next:
Domains will not be suspended solely for sending general spam, unless the activity is directly linked to phishing, malware, or another form of DNS abuse.
For regular spam issues, we recommend managing filtering settings through your email provider or contacting the hosting provider for further assistance.
If, after contacting us, the issue remains unresolved, you may submit a formal complaint to ICANN (https://www.icann.org/compliance/complaint) or to WIPO (https://www.wipo.int/portal/en/).
Please note that only upon receiving a formal resolution from these authorities are we authorized to delete or transfer a domain.
Information for the reseller
When we receive a complaint, we immediately forward it to the reseller and mark the domain as “abusive.” The reseller will receive an email notification containing details of the complaint along with a response deadline.
Response Timeline:
In most cases, the reseller has 5 days to address the issue and provide a response via the control panel.
The abusive domain will be highlighted in the control panel, and accessing its details page will display a pop-up with the full abuse report.
In specific cases, a different deadline may apply (this will be stated in the email).
Response Requirements:
The response must clearly explain how the abuse was resolved and what measures are in place to prevent recurrence.
If the complaint is invalid, the response should provide a clear explanation of why the complaint is incorrect.
Failure to Respond:
If no response is submitted by the deadline, the domain may be suspended and rendered inactive.
If a domain is suspended, the reseller will be notified via email.
At any time, the reseller can remove the suspension directly through the control panel.
Note: From Domains Overview, you can filter abusive domains by selecting the option Show only 'abusive' domains.
Depending on the nature and severity of the complaint, Openprovider may take one of the following actions:
Only Notify – We forward the complaint to the reseller without scheduling follow-up action. This is typically applied to requests such as the removal of specific information from a larger website or cases where malware is distributed through a subdomain.
Suspend Domain – If the reseller does not respond by the deadline, the domain will be suspended (inactivated). As a result, the website, email, and any related services will stop functioning. The reseller can lift the suspension at any time by submitting a valid response through the control panel.
Delete Domain – In exceptional cases, we may be required to delete the domain name from the registry entirely. This measure is taken rarely and only when mandated by law, policy, or authoritative rulings.
New GTLD Information
Availability phases of new gTLDs
Question
What are the different phases on New gTLDs registration?
Answer
When a new gTLD is available, there are two or three phases to register the domain: Sunrise, Landrush (not always) and General Availability.
Sunrise
During the Sunrise, owners can submit their registrations. To submit a domain during Sunrise a TMCH registration is required. Often the domain will not immediately be registered on your behalf, but the registry may gather all requests and have an auction at the end of the Sunrise period if multiple applications exist for the same name. Price on Sunrise phase is expensive than usual price.
Landrush
During the Landrush anyone can submit a request for a specific domain. Just like the Sunrise the domain will usually not be immediately registered, but auctioned at the end of the Landrush period.
General Availability/Claims
During the General Availability period anyone can submit a registration for the TLD. These registrations will usually be processed immediately and the owner can start using it right away. During the first 90 days of a TLDs existence there will also be a Claims period. During this time trademark holders will be notified if a registered term is registered as a domain name. Please note that we will request explicit approval from the Registrant if a registered trademark is found, informing the Registrant of the trademark.
During the General Availability phase the domains can not be transferred, only after this period will the domains be free to transfer to any Registrar you may wish.
If you want to know what stage is currently active for the TLD you have interest in, please find the details here.
Can I cancel my pre-registration?
Question
How to cancel the pre-registered domains?
Answer
As long as a pre-registration is not prepared to be registered (which is shortly before the opening of the General Availability), you can delete the pre-registration from your account and you will not be charged.
In order to delete the pre-registration you need to follow the instructions:
1. Go to New gTLDs overview
2. Mark the pre-registrations you want to cancel.
3. Click on Delete selected domains on list
Can I get my own extension?
Question
Is it possible to get my own extension?
Answer
Now the internet is flooded with all kinds of new extensions, generic ones (.email, .club) but also trade and brand names (.bnpparibas, .samsung), the question arises if everyone can get his own extension (new gTLD).
For example, we may want to apply for .openprovider, so that we can register domain names like support.openprovider or cp.openprovider. Then, we're not bound to an "old" extension like .nl anymore.
So, can everyone get its own extension? The short answer is "yes", but it comes with a number of "however"s.
Timing
First of all, ICANN is far from ready to open a new round for applications. The latest information is that it will not happen before 2021. So be patient... An application can be prepared already, but a lot of information is just not yet known.
Costs
Also important: it's not cheap. The 2012 round came with a $185.000 application fee and a commitment to pay at least 10 years $25.000 per year. Those are just the ICANN fees. Composing an application document takes a lot of time as well, and time is money.
Depending on what kind of extension you want to apply for (your brand name or a generic that will be available to the wide public), you need more resources. If you intend to launch an open extension, you need to sell it: this requires people for sales, marketing, support, ...
We can't set a fixed price label, but we've heard rumours that the absolute minimum is around half a million dollars.
Application process
Being aware of the above, it is absolutely possible to apply for your own extension. Because there are many rules to follow and every application requires tailoring, we cannot provide you with a full checklist here. Please contact us to see how we can help you.
Can I register a domain in Sunrise that includes my trademark?
Question
Can I register a domain in Sunrise that includes my trademark?
Answer
No, this is not possible. In the Sunrise, the domain name should exactly match your trademark or one of its labels. If you own a trademark 'Apple', you can register apple.forum but not applehelp.forum (that would require the trademark "Apple Help").
For a registration of a domain that includes your trademark (but is not an exact match), you will have to wait until the Sunrise is over and register the domain in one of the phases following the Sunrise phase. Refer to the launch calendar to investigate your options. You may be able to register the domain in Landrush or Early Access Program phases.
You can also submit your domain as a pre-registration. Openprovider will then send your application to the registry as soon as the General Availability opens.
Can I register any new gTLD?
Question
Is it possible to register any new gTLD?
Answer
No. First of all, there are many TLDs that are closed: no registration services will be offered. Examples are brand TLDs (.bmw), or TLDs intended for own use (several TLDs applied for by Amazon or Google).
The TLDs which will be available for registration might have their own restrictions. For example a local presence for a geographic gTLD, or being group of the community for community TLDs like .dentist or .lawyer.
However, there are many TLDs that will be open to everyone. Here we will publish a list of TLDs and their relevant information, and update it when more information is available.
Can I register my company name in the Sunrise?
Question
Can I register my company name in the Sunrise?
Answer
Yes, as long as your company name is a registered trademark and the registrant meets the registry's eligibility criteria. The Sunrise phase only accepts domain names that are identical matches of a trademark.
Validated trademark: do you have a trademark and is that trademark validated by the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)? Then you can register your domain in Sunrise using the SMD file (Signed Mark Data) that you have received from your TMCH agent.
Non-validated trademark: do you have a trademark but was that trademark not yet validated by the TMCH? Then first order a TMCH validation through Openprovider and use the SMD file to order your domain in Sunrise. Note that validation of your trademark can take up to a week, so start your validation and registration request timely.
The name includes my trademark: if the intended domain name is not an exact match of your trademark, but rather includes it (e.g. "applehelp.forum" if your trademark is "Apple"), then you cannot register your domain in Sunrise.
No trademark: if your company name is no trademark, you cannot register your domain in the Sunrise phase.
Alternatives
If your domain name is not eligible for Sunrise but meets the registry's eligibility requirements, then you can register your domain in one of the phases following the Sunrise phase. Refer to the launch calendar to investigate your options. You may be able to register the domain in Landrush or Early Access Program phases.
You can also submit your domain as a pre-registration. Openprovider will then send your application to the registry as soon as the General Availability opens.
Changing the pre-registration to another stage?
Question
How to change the pre-registration of a domain to another stage?
Answer
At any moment you can cancel your pre-registration and re-order it, for example, in the Sunrise period of a TLD.
Customizing the pre-registration widget
Openprovider offers a white-label pre-registration widget: a small piece of code that you can use on your website to collect pre-registrations. This widget is available via the menu New gTLDs > Pre-registration widget: just copy the iframe-code to your own website and you're ready.
Unless you want to changes the lay-out in order to match your website's style and color. This article describes the CSS which can be customized.
Language
By default, the language is defined by your account settings. But you can provide the widget in any language on your site by changing the language code in the URL. The supported values are:

How do I customize the Trademark Claims Notification e-mail?
Question
How do I customize the Trademark Claims Notification e-mail?
Answer
In some cases Openprovider is obliged to send a Trademark Claims Notification (TCN). It is possible to personalize this e-mail and the page on which the customer acknowledges the registration. By setting up your own confirmation page, your customer does not have to leave your website.
Configuration of e-mail
Log in to the control panel and navigate to the menu Account > Settings to configure your TCN branding. The Confirmation link can be used to lead the registrant to your own website. This confirmation link can be anything, as long as you include the following two or three variables:
%%domain%% is the domain name to be registered (optional value)
%%domainId%% is a unique identifier for the domain that is registered
%%authCode%% is a security code to prevent abuse
Two examples of a valid URL would then be:
https://www.example.com/transfers/confirm.php?domain=%%domain%%&domainId=%%domainId%%&authCode=%%authCode%%
https://foa-approve.example.com/%%domainId%%/%%authCode%%/
Handling TCN responses
Basically, your script should call the callback script of Openprovider with the right variables: domainId, authCode and approval. (The variable domain is not used in the call to Openprovider.) The approval variable should contain yes or no:
https://rcp.openprovider.eu/misc.php/domain/claimCallback/?domainId=%%domainId%%&authCode=%%authCode%%&approve=%%approval%%
There are many ways to accomplish this, one of the approaches is written in an example PHP script below. This script displays a very basic form and asks for an approval or reject. Having that answer, it calls the Openprovider server:
';
}
?>
Acknowledge registration
There are four possible responses:
If an approval is successfully processed, the response is:
status=Ok;
message=TMCH claims has been approved.
If a rejection is successfully processed, the response is:
status=Rejected;
message=TMCH claims has been rejected.
If an other error occurred, the response shows details, for example:
status=Error;
message=We were not able to proceed with approval claims, because authCode for this operation is wrong
Is my validated trademark eligible for all extensions in Sunrise?
Question
Is my validated trademark eligible for all extensions in Sunrise?
Answer
No. A validated trademark is a requirement to be eligible for Sunrise, but a registry might have it's own additional eligibility rules.
For example, the registry of a geographic extension .nyc requires that the domain owner is a resident of New York and the .bank registry requires that the domain holder of a .bank domain is a registered bank. If the registrant is not located in New York he cannot register a .nyc domain; if the registrant is not a registered bank, he cannot register a .bank domain.
Note that the trademark holder still benefits from the other Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) features: if a lawyer registers yourtrademark.lawyer during the claims period, the trademark holder of "yourtrademark" will still be notified, even while he himself is not eligible for this specific domain name.
What are premium domains?
In the (new) gTLD program the registries often decide that certain terms or names are to be considered premium. In short this means that popular terms will be more expensive to register than less popular terms.
During the order or transfer process our system will warn you about these higher prices, asking you to confirm that you are aware of the higher price before the registration / transfer can be placed.
Depending on the extension, the domain's renewal may be at the premium fee again, or at the regular registration fee. The extension details pages in this knowledge base show this information for all extensions.
What are the advantages of "Protected Marks Lists" (DPML, Uni EPS and AdultBlock)?
Question
What are the advantages of "Protected Marks Lists" (TREx, DPML, Uni EPS and AdultBlock)?
Answer
This article explains the trademark protection services that are available through Openprovider:
the DPML (Domains Protected Marks List) of portfolio registry Donuts
the Uni EPS (Extended Protection Service) of portfolio registry UNR
and the AdultBlock of portfolio registry ICM Registry.
This article lists the details of each service, including the covered extensions and pricing. This article contains the following sections:

Covered extensions
General introduction
As a trademark holder, you may want to protect your name throughout numerous extensions, to prevent others from registering a domain in your name. This is a time consuming and costly exercise. A "protected marks list" service simplifies this exercise by blocking the trademark name in a number of extensions in just one single order at a price that is much lower than registering every domain separately.
We call this a "block". If the trademark name is "Openprovider" and you order a "block" on this trademark name, the respective registries will make all included domains with the name "openprovider" unavailable for registration, e.g. openprovider.email and openprovider.london. This implies that the domain is unavailable for the trademark holder as well! He cannot use it - it's just reserved.
Of course, in case the trademark holder wants to start using a specific domain, he can "override" the block. The domain name will then be released to the trademark holder.
In all cases, a valid and verified trademark is required. Verification must have been done by the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH). The SMD file that the trademark holder gets from the TMCH serves as the leading input for the Protected Marks List order. Each of the labels in the SMD file can serve as name to be blocked. During the full period of the Protected Marks List order, the trademark must remain verified; if not, the block may be cancelled.

If you have a Supreme Membership, please contact us for your discounted prices.
Donuts' DPML
Registry Donuts is the world's largest portfolio registry, managing more than 240 domain extensions. As soon as Donuts acquires an additional extension, it will be added to their DPML (Domains Protected Marks List) automatically.
Apart from the exact match of the trademark name, DPML can also be ordered for a term that includes that trademark name. The following table lists the options:
Trademark
DPML term
Valid?
Reason
Visa
visa
valid
Exact match of trademark
Visa
myvisacard
valid
Contains exact match of trademark
Vis
myvisacard
invalid
Contains exact match of trademark, but the trademark contains only 3 characters; only an exact match is accepted for 3-character trademarks
Vis
vis
valid
Is an exact match of the 3-character trademark
VI
vi
invalid
Trademarks with only 1 or 2 characters are not accepted
Each term counts as a separate DPML order. Premium and already registered domain names will not be included in the block.
Homograph protection
Donuts does not only protect the exact term that you specify. In addition, Donuts finds all Unicode characters which are confusingly similar to characters in the protected name (so-called homographs), and block all these variants as well. For example, a phisher may use the domain name gοοgle.com which looks legitimate - until you discover that the two O’s are actually Cyrillic characters. Hard to spot, even if you are trained to look for it.
This feature is enabled on all DPML orders, also the ones that were ordered before its introduction in September 2018.
Overrides
As a DPML block owner, you can at any moment override (start using) a domain that is included in the block. Contact us if you want to override one of your own names.
If you are not the DPML block owner, but you own a (verified) trademark that exactly matches the blocked term, you can override someone else's DPML block by submitting the SMD file. Contact us for more information.
No additional fees are charged for overrides.
Donuts' DPML Plus
The DPML Plus service of Donuts is an extension to the basic DPML service. The differences are the following:
The validity period is 10 years
The price is different
The exact match of the trademark plus 3 additional labels; a label being a term that includes the trademark name (as illustrated in the table above) or a common misspelling of the trademark name
Additional labels (without maximum) can be added at a price of $1.700 each
Premium names will be included in the block, as long as they have not been registered yet
Overrides by other parties with the same trademark are not allowed unless the DPML Plus block owner explicitly consents
Uni EPS
Update 2021-06-01: From the 1st of June 2021, Registry UNR reduced the offering of their UniEPS service. Only 10 (out of the original 23) extensions are included and the price reduced to $229. Existing orders will include all 23 original extensions until the next renewal date.
Registry and back-end provider UNR (former Uniregistry) manages a few dozen extensions and offers its platform to other registries as well. Each registry using the UNR platform may choose to add its extension(s) to the Uni EPS service.
The Uni EPS service covers standard and premium domains. Domains that are already registered at the moment the block is ordered are not included, but as soon as such domain is cancelled, it will be added to the block.
Overrides
As a Uni EPS block owner, you can at any moment override (start using) a domain that is included in the block. At the moment of the override, the domain is converted to a normal registration. The normal registration fee is charged and the domain's life cycle starts from the moment of the override. Contact us if you want to override one of your own names.
If you are not the Uni EPS block owner, but you own a (verified) trademark that exactly matches the blocked term, you can override someone else's Uni EPS block by submitting the SMD file. Contact us for more information.
No additional fees are charged for overrides.
Uni EPS+
The Uni EPS+ service of UNR is an extension to the basic Uni EPS service. The differences are the following:
Uni EPS+ includes all Unicode IDN variants free of charge
Uni EPS+ includes all additional labels in the SMD file
The price is different
AdultBlock
ICM Registry manages four different adult-themed extensions: .xxx, .adult, .porn and .sex. The AdultBlock service covers standard and premium domains. Domains that are already registered at the moment the block is ordered are not included, but as soon as such domain is cancelled, it will be added to the block.
AdultBlock is available not only for trademark holders that let their trademark verify through TMCH, but also to protect your name if it is
a registered trademark in any jurisdisction
an unregistered trademark (also called "common law trademark")
a company or organization name, including "trading as"
a celebrity name
Also if you registered a so-called "Sunrise B" .xxx domain during the launch of .xxx in 2011, you are eligible for an AdultBlock. Find all details on adultblock.adult.
If the applicant does not complete or finalize an AdultBlock Services registration, ICM Registry will charge the verification fees (normally those verification fees are included in the AdultBlock fee). Those fees are $50,00.
Overrides
As an AdultBlock owner, you can at any moment override (start using) a domain that is included in the block. At the moment of the override, the domain is converted to a normal registration. The normal registration fee is charged and the domain's life cycle starts from the moment of the override. Contact us if you want to override one of your own names.
If you are not the AdultBlock owner, but you own a (verified) trademark that exactly matches the blocked term, you can override someone else's AdultBlock by submitting the SMD file. Contact us for more information.
No additional fees are charged for overrides.
AdultBlock+
The AdultBlock+ service of MMX is an extension to the basic AdultBlock service. The differences are the following:
AdultBlock+ includes all Unicode IDN variants free of charge
AdultBlock+ includes all additional labels in the SMD file
The price is different

What is the Trademark Claims Period?
Question
What is the Trademark Claims Period?
Answer
Every new extension that launches, starts with a period of at least 90 days in which trademark holders are protected against others registering a domain that matches their trademark: the so-called "Trademark Claims Period" (TCN). During this period, the intended domain holder is informed about the existence of the trademark, and if he chooses to continue the registration, the trademark holder will receive a notification that the domain was registered.
Note that this period is arbitrary: the minimum length is 90 days, but there are several extensions that decided to extend this period forever.
Trademark claims notification
From the domain registrant's perspective, the process when registering a domain that matches a validated trademark is the following:
The domain name is ordered in Openprovider
The domain name is put on status "REQ" (requested) and the order is put on hold
The intended registrant receives an e-mail with information about the matching trademark, and a link to acknowledge this information
If the intended registrant decides that he does not infringe third party's rights, he can continue the domain registration
The domain is registered and marked "ACT" (active) in Openprovider
Did you know that you can completely customize the e-mail that Openprovider sends to the domain holder? Brand it with your name and styling, send it from your e-mail address and include a link to your own website instead of Openprovider's!
Domain registration notifications
From the trademark holder's perspective, the benefit is that he is informed as soon as somebody registers a domain that matches his trademark.
The trademark holder can then investigate the domain name and decide whether or not the domain holder infringes his rights. If so, the trademark holder can decide to start a legal procedure. Note that in most cases the registration itself is no valid ground for starting a legal procedure - there should be clear evidence of infringement of rights.
This notification service thus is nothing more than that: it does only inform about a registered domain but does not judge about the legal status of it.
Ongoing notifications
The Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) extended it's service and does not only send notifications during an extension's TCN, but also afterwards. On top of that, they included all existing gTLDs (.com, .net, etc.) as well.
This means that the holder of a trademark in the TMCH will receive notifications for any gTLD registration of his trademark. On the IANA website you can find the list of extensions in the root zones; the ones marked "generic" or "sponsored" all apply to the TCN.
What is the process / workflow of pre-registration?
The good thing about pre-registrations is that you can already collect your customer's orders before the extension is available. These pre-registrations are free of charge and non-binding, until the moment they turn into 'real' registrations. This article describes the workflow that is followed for pre-registrations.
Initial information e-mail
4 to 6 weeks before the General Availability of an extension starts we send you an e-mail with all information about prices, dates, procedures and policies. The e-mail also informs you on which date the pre-registrations will turn into real registrations ('locking' of the domains; normally ±5 days before the General Availability starts). The e-mail contains a lot of information, including:
An overview of your pre-registrations; if a domain is marked Premium or Blocked, we will not process it in the pre-registration process and the domain is cancelled in your account. A list of those domains is in the e-mail.
Exact dates and times of the launch schedule; this includes Sunrise, Landrush, General Availability and any other launch phases,
Full pricing details of the extensions; this is tailored to your price tier in Openprovider, so might be subject to change if you move to another tier before General Availability starts.
The total amount to be charged to your account (based on the current domain list and the current price tier of your account).
Registry policies and restrictions; examples are a required local presence, limited character sets or other eligibility requirements.
An overview of the next steps.
Tips about registering your domain before General Availability starts.
Final reminder
Some 5 days before we lock the domain names, you will receive a final reminder. The locking date is reminded and you are informed that these are the last days for making any changes to you domain (including remove it from the pre-registration queue).
Status update locking
Around 2 working days before the General Availability starts, we 'lock' the domains for further changes. This means that existing pre-registrations can no longer be changed or removed. New pre-registrations can still be ordered until a few hours before the General Availability starts. The pre-registrations are charged on your account balance.
You will receive an e-mail with an update, for example domains that could not be turned into real registrations because of insufficient balance.
Those last 2 days we will prepare the pre-registrations for their registration in the registry systems. We will create the contact and nameserver objects at the registry, generate the registration commands, ensure that the registry is ready and any other actions that will lead to the maximum speed of registration at the moment the registry opens.
Trademark Claims Notifications
If a domain name matches a trademark that is registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), we are obliged to send a Trademark Claims Notification to the domain holder. This e-mail contains a list of matching trademarks and asks the domain holder for an explicit approval before being able to register the domain. With his approval, the domain holder declares that he is aware of those trademarks and knows that he might infringe a third party's rights on that name.
You will receive an overview of all domains for which a Trademark Claims Notification (TCN) is sent; you might want to ask you customer to handle this e-mail urgently.
The TCN's are typically sent 24 to 48 hours before the General Availability opens.
Further information about the Trademark Claims Notifications follows in a separate article.
Status update registrations
Once the General Availability started and we sent all registration requests to the registry, we will inform you about the results. All successful registrations are listed as well as unsuccessful registrations, including the reason for failure.
From this moment on, the extension is moved to 'live' and can be registered as any other extension; in most cases realtime. Note that during the first 90 days (or more, depending on the registry), a Trademark Claims Notification might be required if a domain name matches a trademark that was registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse.
🇪🇸 Fases de disponibilidad de nuevos gTLDs
Pregunta
¿Cuáles son las fases de disponibilidad de los nuevos GTLDs?
Respuesta
Cada nuevo gTLD que aparezca se iniciará con unperiodo “Sunrise”de 30 días como mínimo. Este periodo “Sunrise” es vital paralos propietarios de marcasya que de esta manerapueden proteger sus dominios antes de que estén disponiblespara el resto de público. Después de este periodo “Sunrise”, el TLD permite al resto de público registrar dominios, aunque se pueden aplicar ciertas restricciones.
Durante los primeros 90 días de este llamado“disponibilidad general”durante el cual cualquiera puede registrar un dominio, los propietarios de marcas están informados si alguien registra “su” nombre de dominio. Como puede ver, el registro de marca es uno de los puntos clave en los nuevos gTLDs. Y en este caso será elTrademark Clearinghouse(Centro de Información de Marcas) el que se ocupará de la validación de marcas.
Sunrise
Cada nuevo TLD que aparezca se iniciará con unperiodo “Sunrise” de 30 díascomo mínimo.
Durante este periodo, sólo los titulares de marcas pueden registrar su nombre para ese TLD en concreto. El código TMCH se utiliza para validar la marca. En caso que haya dos empresas que quieran registrar el mismo nombre de una marca, dependerá del registro el cómo manejar las peticiones duplicadas: quizá deciden darle la marca al que la solicitó primero, o al primero que ellos atiendan, o incluso quizá deciden seguir una acción diferente.
En general, el precio para el registro en fase “Sunrise” es más elevado que el precio durante el periodo de disponibilidad general, pero le da la opción de ser el primero en poder registrar el dominio.
Período de reclamaciones y período de disponibilidad general
En cuanto el período “Sunrise” finalice, el TLD quedará abierto para el resto de público, aunque todavía se aplicarán algunas restricciones (presencia local, miembro de la comunidad…). Este período se llama “disponibilidad general”. Losprimeros 90 días(o más, dependiendo del registro) de la disponibilidad general se conoce como elperíodo de reclamaciones.Durante este periodo, cada registro de dominio se comprueba con labase de datos del Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH). Si no se encuentra una marca que coincida, el titular recibirá unanotificacióny podrá decidir si continúa o no con el registro del dominio. El titular de la marca recibe una notificación en cuanto se ha registrado el dominio, y puede ponerse en contacto con la entidad registradora si cree que hay una infracción que tenga que ver con su marca registrada.
Landrush y otras etapas
Aunque en esta página nos centramos en el calendario de lanzamientos más común de “Sunrise” y disponibilidad general, un registro podría optar por teneretapas adicionales: un segundo o incluso un tercer “Landrush” para otros grupos destinatarios, desde Openprovider le informaremos acerca de todo esto por cada TLD.
Transfers / Portfolio Consolidation
Bulk transfer of domains in a TransIP account
This article presents a ready-to-use script (written in PHP) that can be used to easily transfer domains from your TransIP account to your Openprovider account.
As you are a TransIP customer and we are Openprovider and not TransIP, you will be much more experienced with TransIP than we are. From your experience, feel free to add a comment to this article with your feedback, tips or tricks! Of course, you can send an e-mail as well.
Important disclaimer: this script is created as a courtesy to our customers. Running it is completely on your own responsibility. We strongly advise to run the script in test mode first, before actually ordering the domain transfers. Openprovider is not responsible for any unforeseen situation that is the result of running this script.
Download and install the TransIP API
If you already use the TransIP API, you can probably skip most instructions in this section.
If you do not already use the TransIP API, please follow the next steps:
Enable API access
Log in to your TransIP control panel
Navigate to Config > My account > API
Enable API access with the slider under "API settings"
Optionally (recommended from security perspective), add your IP address to the IP whitelist
Under "Key pairs", create a new key pair by typing a label and clicking the "Add key pair" button; optionally tick the "Whitelisted IP" checkbox
The private key will be shown on your screen; copy this private key as you cannot retrieve it again at a later moment
Download API
Clone the API source repository https://github.com/transip/transip-api-php
After having finished those steps, you're ready to use the TransIP API and prepare and run the transfer script.
Download and install the Openprovider API
If you already use the Openprovider API, you can probably skip most instructions in this section.
If you do not already use the Openprovider API, please follow the next steps:
Enable API access
Log in to your Openprovider control panel
Navigate to the menu Account
Click the "Add contact person" button
Define the new user, ensure that you set the type to "technical" and enable API access
Add your IP address to the IP whitelist by clicking the "Edit" button under the "API access restrictions" section.
Click the link in the e-mail that you received and set your password
After setting the password, a hash value will be shown; copy this value as you cannot retrieve it again at a later moment
Download API
Download the API.php file from the Openprovider API documentation
In this article, I assume that the API.php file is stored in the same directory as the transfer-from-transip.php script
Prepare and run the transfer script
Download and customise
Download the script that is attached to this article.
The script is prepared to be run in the root directory of the TransIP API source code that you just downloaded (e.g. ~/Downloads/transapi_transip.nl_v5_9/), but you can place it at any other location - just be sure to update the paths to the includes in the script.
Open the script and populate the $auth variable with the Openprovider API credentials and populate the $login and $privateKey variebles with the TransIp credentilas.
Define domain list
Create a file in which you put each domain to transfer on a separate line. IDNs must be written in punycode, so domain.онлайн must be written as domain.xn--80asehdb.
Run the script
The script accepts the following parameters:
-f (required): this is the file name that contains the domain list
-t: "test mode", can be "0" or "1". If test mode is enabled (default value), the script will behave as "read only" and output data, but it will not create DNS zones, unlock domains or transfer domains
-d: whether or not to copy the DNS zones. Allowed values:
0: do not import DNS zones (default value)
1: import DNS zones if no zone already exists
overwrite: import DNS zones; if a zone already exists, delete it first
-h: can be "0" or "1", and defines whether or not to force creation of new handles for every contact. If set to "0" (default value), the script will check the data of a handle; if an Openprovider handle already exists with the same data, this existing handle is used instead of creating a new one.
-v: "verbose mode", can be "0" (default value) or "1", and defines whether or not to output debug and other information.
--help: send "transfer-from-transip.php --help" for command line information about the usage of the script.
By running the script, the following steps will be performed for each domain in the domain list:
Retrieve the domain details from TransIP
If required, import the DNS zone
Create the contacts in Openprovider
If required, retrieve the authorisation code
If required, unlock the domain
Order the transfer in Openprovider
From here on, the normal transfer process commences. Some extensions will be transferred instantly (e.g. .nl), some extensions will send an e-mail to the domain holder (e.g. .fr), some extensions will start a transfer period (e.g. .com).
(Un)supported domains
The script is pretty simple: it just reads contact and nameserver information and the authorisation code, unlocks the domain and initiates the transfer. This should be fine for most extensions, but some cases are not supported because of this simplicity:
Additional data: as soon as additional information or actions are required, the transfer is not supported and should be initiated manually.
Authcode not retrievable: if a domain requires an authorisation code that is sent to the registrant only (for example .be, .pt or .ro), the domain cannot be transferred with this script.
Notes on a couple of specific TLDs:
.eu: before running the script, request the authcode through the TransIP web panel (feel free to place a comment with a TransIP API example how to retrieve .eu authcodes)
.de: if the trustee service is turned on, TransIP will not provide the authcode. Deactivate TransIP's trustee service before running the script.
.fr: if the trustee service is turned on, TransIP will not provide the authcode. Deactivate TransIP's trustee service before running the script.
.uk: the script will request the transfer, but the IPS tag for the domain must be changed to REGISTRAR-EU by TransIP. Contact TransIP support to do this.
Bulk transfer of domains in a Versio account
This article presents a ready-to-use script (written in PHP) that can be used to easily transfer domains from your Versio account to your Openprovider account.
As you are a Versio customer and we are Openprovider and not Versio, you will be much more experienced with Versio than we are. From your experience, feel free to add a comment to this article with your feedback, tips or tricks! Of course, you can send an e-mail as well.
Important disclaimer: this script is created as a courtesy to our customers. Running it is completely on your own responsibility.

Openprovider is not responsible for any unforeseen situation that is the result of running this script.
Configure the Versio API
If you already use the Versio API, you can probably skip this section.
If you do not already use the Versio API, please follow the next steps:
Enable API access
Log in to your Versio control panel
Navigate to Account > Versio API
Enter your control panel password and the IP address from where you run the script under the "IP addresses with access to API"
After having finished those steps, you're ready to use the Versio API and prepare and run the transfer script.

Versio runs into API rate limits very soon; if you have information about the Versio API rate limits, please let us know in a comment.
DNS zone creation is not yet tested; if you have a domain that should migrate its zone from the Versio to the Openprovider nameservers, let us know in the comments your experience.
DNS Belgium: Taking over complete or partial account
How to initiate a bulk transfer of .be domain names
Advantages of using the registry bulk transfer option:
all domains are moved at once
all handles are created automatically
nameserver settings are copied
expiration date stays unchanged
transfer codes are not required
can be used when you have an own registrar account or via a third party (partial transfer)
Requirements
A completed and signed bulk transfer form (full or partial). Please fill in your registrar ID and registrar name and sign the form.
A copy of the note that you sent or will send to your customers about this change, if this is different from the example text that is included on the second page of the bulk transfer form. See further down in this article for the requirements to such text.
In case of a partial take-over, a list of domains to transfer, both as signed PDF and as plain text list.
When sending those documents to Openprovider, please inform us that you are aware of and approve the costs of the bulk transfer (see below).
Process
After receipt of the required documents and information, Openprovider will schedule the transfer together with the registry. Normally this can be scheduled within a week. The transfer will be completed by Openprovider and the registry, no further action from your side is required.
After the transfer has finished, the domains, contacts and nameservers have been imported into your Openprovider account. From that moment on, you can manage your .be domains through Openprovider.
Depending on the number of domains of the take-over, the import into Openprovider may take up to a couple of hours. That means that any updates must wait until the domain is in Openprovider. In case of urgent updates, we are able to assist you of course!
Costs
The costs of this kind of transfer depend on the number of domains involved:
1 - 1.999 domains: € 500
2.000 - 4.999 domains: € 1.000
5.000+ domains: € 1.500
This is similar to the price that the registry charges to Openprovider.
Even for a small portfolio the minimum fee of € 500 might be considerable, as it will save you a lot of manual effort and time: creation of contacts, retrieving the one-time authorization codes, starting the transfers, loss of registration period, et cetera.
All prices mentioned are excluding VAT.
Domain renewals
Due to the billing processes of DNS Belgium, domains with their expiration date in the current month (between the 1st of the month and the date of import) will be renewed by Openprovider after the import. Be sure to enable auto-renewal in your account before initiating the bulk transfer, and ensure you have sufficient balance for the domains that will be renewed.
Example notification to domain holders
Often, the notification sent to domain holders is based upon the following example. This notification can be sent personally by e-mail, or included in a newsletter. The registry does not define the method of communication, they only require that domain holders are informed, and the notification should contain the following elements:
information about the new situation
confirmation that this operation is free of charge for them
confirmation that the expiration date remains unchanged
the notification that they may choose another registrar at any time (though such a transfer is not free)
Example notification text: To simplify our administration and optimise our service to our customers, we will change the registrar of your .be domain(s). You will not notice anything from this change: your domain name will continue to function as it always did, the expiration date remains unchanged and no costs apply to this change. If you want to transfer your domain(s) to another registrar, you can do so at any moment. However, the new registrar will charge for such a transfer.
Deleted and quarantined domains
Domains for which a deletion date in the future was set or domains that are in quarantine are handled in a special way:
Quarantined domains are migrated to Openprovider's registry account, but we do not import them into your account. If you want to restore a domain from quarantine which was not imported, please contact our support department. The regular reactivation costs apply.
If you have set a deletion date for a domain name, Openprovider will remove that deletion date. The domain will autorenew at its expiration date. If you want to cancel such domain registration, set auto-renew to off for this domain.
Different transfer statuses and their meaning
Question
What do the different statuses in my transfer overview mean?
Answer:
You can find a complete list of all your transfers on the Transfer Overview Page, including the latest status.
In the list below you can find all the possible statuses from the transfer overview:
Status
Explanation
Next steps?
In progress
The transfer is initiated and now in progress.
In most cases, only patience is required.
But we recommend to check the detailed TLD page --> Transfer section to see if any action (like email confirmation) or document is required to successfully finish this transfer.
Scheduled
A date in the future was selected during the transfer request. The domain transfer is therefore not yet initiated.
Wait until the selected transfer date.
Completed [new]
Great, the transfer was successful!
No further action is required.
You could remove the domain-transfer from the transfer overview to keep the overview up-to-date.
Locked [new]
It seems the domain is locked at the current provider, which prohibits the transfer.
Please contact the current provider and request them to remove the transfer lock from the domain.
In most cases you can confirm via the whois if the lock is successfully disabled.
Status "ClientTransferProhibited" or "locked" is replaced by "OK".
Simply click the "Retry transfer" button to retry the transfer immediately, using the same original settings.
Invalid authorization code [new]
The provided transfer-code is not accepted by the registry.
Please contact the current provider and request them to reset the transfer-code. Confirm with the old provider that the code is valid for external transfers.
Got a new code?
Simply click on the “Change authorization code” button, enter the new code and click on "Retry transfer". (See image below)
Cancelled
This transfer has been cancelled by the reseller.
You can delete it from the overview or start it again.
Denied
The transfer is denied. In most cases this is caused by rejecting the verification link for the transfer.
Review the transfer-process of this tld to see who will receive the confirmation email (registrant, admincontact or registrar). We advise to contact this party to accept the email in case you re-request the transfer.
Expired
The transfer was not confirmed in time and therefore expired.
Review the transfer-process of this tld to see which steps or email should have been confirmed
Failed
The transfer is failed for an other reason.
Please check your inbox for a system message with more details.
As you can see in the table, we are introducing 3 [new] statuses in our control panel:
COMPLETED, LOCKED & INVALID AUTH CODE
As these statuses are new in our system, they will only appear for transfers which were initiated after the introduction date of 2021-07-22.
Completed or failed transfers before this date, will not be shown with this specific status in the overview.
New feature!
The new status " INVALID AUTH CODE" also comes with a new feature.
No need to delete your old request when the code turns our to be invalid.
Now you can easily replace the code via the same overview!
Just click on the button “Change authorization code”, enter the new code and click on "Retry transfer".
EURid: Taking over complete or partial account
How to initiate a bulk transfer of .eu domain names
Advantages of using the registry bulk transfer option:
all domains are moved at once
all handles are created automatically
nameserver settings are copied
expiration date stays unchanged
transfer codes are not required
can be used when you have an own registrar account or via a third party (partial transfer)
Requirements
A completed and signed bulk transfer form. Please fill in your registrar ID, registrar name and address and sign the form.
A copy of the note that you sent or will send to your customers about this change, if this is different from the example text that is included on the second page of the bulk transfer form. See further down in this article for the requirements to such text.
In case of a partial take-over, a list of domains to transfer, both as signed PDF and as plain text list.
In case of a partial take-over, when sending those documents to Openprovider, please inform us that you are aware of and approve the costs of the bulk transfer (see below).
In case of a full take-over, be sure to send a termination request to EURid as well; only then, the full bulk transfer will be free of charge. You may send this form to us as well, so that we can send it to the registry together with the other documents.
When planning the bulk transfer, note that you need to plan at least 3-5 days in advance, and the registry does not support bulk transfers on the first or last day of the month.
Process
After receipt of the required documents and information, Openprovider will schedule the transfer together with the registry. Normally this can be scheduled within a week. The transfer will be completed by Openprovider and the registry, no further action from your side is required.
After the transfer has finished, the domains, contacts* and nameservers have been imported into your Openprovider account. From that moment on, you can manage your .eu domains through Openprovider.
Depending on the number of domains of the take-over, the import into Openprovider may take up to a couple of hours. That means that any updates must wait until the domain is in Openprovider. In case of urgent updates, we are able to assist you of course!
Costs
A EURid bulk transfer is free of charge, unless the registrar account is not terminated. Any additional customisations by Openprovider may be charged. A special quote will be made.
In case of a partial take-over the costs are € 0,25 per domain name, with a minimum of € 500. This is similar to the price that the registry charges to Openprovider.
In other words: if you transfer 2.000 domains or less, the price will be € 500. If you transfer more than 2.000 domains, the price will be the number of domains times € 0,25. For example, for a transfer of 10.000 domains, the price is € 2.500.
But even for a small portfolio € 500 might be considerable, as it will save you a lot of manual effort and time: creation of contacts, retrieving the one-time authorization codes, starting the transfers, loss of registration period, et cetera.
All prices mentioned are excluding VAT.
Example notification to domain holders
Often, the notification sent to domain holders is based upon the following example. This notification can be sent personally by e-mail, or included in a newsletter. The registry requires that domain holders are informed, but does not define the method of communication.
Example notification text: To simplify our administration and optimise our service to our customers, we will change the registrar of your .eu domain(s). You will not notice anything from this change: your domain name will continue to function as it always did, the expiration date remains unchanged and no costs apply to this change. If you want to transfer your domain(s) to another registrar, you can do so at any moment. However, the new registrar will charge for such a transfer.
Deleted and quarantined domains
Domains for which a deletion date in the future was set or domains that are in quarantine are handled in a special way:
Quarantined domains are migrated to Openprovider's registry account, but we do not import them into your account. If you want to restore a domain from quarantine which was not imported, please contact our support department. The regular reactivation costs apply.
If you have set a deletion date for a domain name, Openprovider will remove that deletion date. The domain will autorenew at its expiration date. If you want to cancel such domain registration, set auto-renew to off for this domain.
Terminating your EURid account
You probably want to terminate your EURid account after the migration.
In order finalize the termination EURid asks the registrar to confirm the security code which was sent to you upon accreditation. The security code is 12 digits long and looks like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. This is the final security step to terminating the account.
If you do not have this security code, please contact your EURid account manager.
* All contacts, nameserver and DNSSEC data are copied, with one exception: the "whois e-mail address", the address that can optionally be assigned to a registrant object and which will be published in the whois, instead of the real registrant address. You will need to update these data after the import has been completed.
Internal bulk transfer between two Openprovider resellers
Question
How to transfer a large number of domains/products between two Openprovider Reseller Accounts?
Answer
A single domain-transfer between 2 resellers works similar to a transfer from another registrar, it can be initiated via your control panel and, in most cases, will require a transfer code. The remaining registration period will also in most cases be transferred, which makes an internal transfer free of charge. (Exceptions might occur for some Tld's, the price is always shown in the control panel)
If a large number of domains/products need to be transferred between two reseller accounts, (in case accounts are merged, split up or taken over), regular transfers may not be the most efficient way.
In this case we can offer a manual procedure, done by our hard diligent 2nd line team.
This procedure is in place and allows for an internal bulk transfer - a transfer of a larger number of domains between two Openprovider resellers that requires just two signatures on a transfer form. Apart from efficiency, the biggest advantage is that all contact data will be migrated as well and expiration dates do not change. The procedure is as follows:
Complete and sign the internal bulk transfer form; both the losing and the gaining reseller should sign and select the products that need to be transferred.
In case just a part of the account must be transferred, a list of the affected domains and products (only in case of partial transfers) must be sent in two formats: a list in plain text (e.g. a spreadsheet) and a list signed by both resellers.
As stated in the form, the gaining reseller agrees on paying the fixed fee of €80 for the bulk transfer and acknowledges that any additional services attached to the domain (including but not limited to trustee service, DNS zone, domain forwarding and whois privacy protection) will be taken over as well.
Openprovider will validate the bulk transfer with the losing and gaining reseller
After this validation, our 2nd line team will schedule for this transfer to take place (NOTE: this is a manual task and therefore not immediate).
Once completed you will receive a confirmation on the related support ticket.
Note: For transferring domains and supported products from one account to multiple accounts, please use this form.
We can transfer: domain names, DNS zones (Openprovider and Sectigo Premium Anycast DNS), SSL certificates, and Plesk licenses.
Currently, we're unable to transfer: SpamExperts filters (per domain or bundles), Email Solution, and EasyDMARC.
Nominet (.uk): Taking over complete or partial account
While registry Nominet has no official bulk transfer option to move a large portfolio to another registrar, we have created a process that allows for easy bulk transfer of up to 50.000 .uk (including .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk and .ltd.uk) domains. This process assumes you have access to the Nominet registrar panel.
Full take-over
The first step is to export a list of domain and contact data:
Log in to your Nominet account
Go to Web Domain Manager, choose Manage Domains
At the bottom, click Download List... (note that this list is limited to 50.000 domains; if you have more domains, you can use the REST API of Nominet; this will, however, give a different output format and should be investigated by us before continuing this page)
Run the attached PHP script with the following two command line parameters:
filename of the exported file from Nominet
standard telephone number to use, format +31.123456789. Reason: the exports from Nominet don't include the phone number
Example call:
php convert-nominet-export-into-csv-bulk-transfer.php nominet-domain-export.csv "+31.101234567890"
You can tune the resulting output file (nominet-bulk-csv.csv) with the correct telephone numbers, if desired. Also any other fixes to the data can be made.
Send us your converted list.
Openprovider has tools in place to initiate transfers based on this CSV file. We will confirm you once we have initiated all transfers. At that moment, you should (within 7 days) change the IPS tag of the domains:
Log in again to your Nominet account
Go to Web Domain Manager, choose Manage Domains
Select all domains on that page
Click the Release button
Enter Openprovider's IPS tag REGISTRAR-EU
Accept the tag change
Go back the the domain list
and select the next set of domains
Now all domains will be pushed to Openprovider. You will see them being activated over the next minutes.
Partial take-over
This method works best with a full registrar take-over. If it's a partial take-over, the following steps change:
After downloading the CSV file with all domains, remove all domains from that file that should not be transferred.
Instead of selecting "all" domains for a tag change, only those domains that are subject to the partial take-over must be checked.
Overview of all available transfer options
Question
Which (bulk)transfer options are available and how to request them?
Answer
A transfer can be started via several channels, like the RCP (Reseller Control Panel / web interface), an API connection or via a plugin like WHMCS, Blesta etc.
In this article, we will focus on the 4 options that you will find when using the Openprovider control panel, in the section "Transfers"
Regular Domain Transfer
Via the regular domain transfer page you can start a single domain transfer or a batch of domains. Be aware that all domains in this batch will be connected to the same handles and the same nameservers which you will select in later steps.
CSV Transfer
Got a list of domains to transfer? No problem!
In that case we advise to use the CSV template from the control panel and insert a maximum of 500 domains per batch.
In the CSV file you can indicate per domainname which handles or new contacts and nameservers or nameservergroups can be used. You even have the option to add a transferdate, making this an ideal option when you are migrating your portfolio from a previous provider or are transferring big batches of domains for your clients.
We do advise to set the transfer date a few days before the actual expiration of the domain, as some tlds will take a few days to get transferred and always keep the auto renewal enabled at the previous provider to avoid issues.
Detailed information can be found here.
Registry Bulk Transfer
Some registries offer the option to migrate a whole portfolio at once. This is ideal if you would like to consolidate your domains in 1 account and want to save money on all the Registry administration fees.
In most cases it is only required to sign a form, that it!
Openprovider will handle the communication with the Registry and the import of the domains.
This is an ideal option when you have your own Registry account or (only when supported by the registry) when you have a large amount of the same TLDs at an other registrar.
As most registries will charge an administrative fee, this option is mostly interesting with 100+ domains.
See all available registry bulk transfer options here!
Robot Transfer
Openprovider has developed some Transfer Robots, giving you the option to migrate your domain portfolio from some of the biggest registrars to Openprovider, all fully automated.
Openprovider will make sure all transfers will be initiated on time, saving you time, money and effort!
Want to know for which Registrars we offer this automated solution?
Just get in touch with our Sales Team, who will provide you with all the information.
Registry account bulk transfers
If you are registrar, or if you manage a number of domains in one extension at just one registrar, the transfer of those domains might be possible on registry-registrar level.
Such a bulk transfer has many advantages:
It's easy: in most cases, signing a form is sufficient
It's non-interruptive: end users / domain holders do not need to give their explicit approval
It's cheap in registration period: you do not loose registration period
It's cheap in management: completed in one time, no lengthy process, no end user interaction
It's cheap in money / cashflow: often just a one-time fee is required, and not the transfer costs of all domains
Supported registries
Openprovider supports registry bulk transfers for the following registries. The procedures in general are all form-based like the .be and .eu bulk transfers; details will be provided on a case-by-case base.

gTLDs (other than .com, .net, .name and .jobs): it depends on the registry whether or not bulk transfers are supported; costs are normally starting at $ 5.000 per TLD
For any registry that is not listed, please contact support for more information. Openprovider has exhaustive experience in bulk transfers and consolidation and will always be able to find a solution for your specific case.
SIDN (.nl) bulkverhuizing / portfolio-overname
This article is in Dutch as it will be primarily used by Dutch people.
If you need an English explanation of this process, please contact us.
SIDN overname / bulkverhuizing
SIDN ondersteunt een bulkverhuizing, waarbij de domeinen in 1x direct overgezet worden naar een ander SIDN registrar Account.
Het voordeel is dat op deze manier er geen tussenkomst van de registrant nodig is en er geen verhuiscodes nodig zijn.
De registrant hoeft geen toestemming te geven en zal geen bericht ontvangen van deze overname.
Gehele overname (je bent zelf rechtstreeks bij SIDN aangesloten):
Openprovider kan zeer eenvoudig je gehele SIDN account overnemen middels een account overname.
De stappen staan in dit artikel beschreven.
Gedeeltelijke overname (je huidige provider is registrar van SIDN):
Ook als je niet zelf rechtstreeks bij SIDN aangesloten hebt, kan Openprovider zeer eenvoudig je .nl domeinen overnemen middels een gedeeltelijke account overname. De stappen staan in dit artikel beschreven.
SIDN overname / bulkverhuizing - Gedeeltelijke overname
This article is in Dutch as it will be primarily used by Dutch people. If you need an English explanation of this process, please contact us.
Stap 1) Indienen van de formulieren.
Voor een gedeeltelijke account overname moet het volgende formulier ingevuld en ondertekend worden door de huidige registrar van SIDN.
Formulier voor gedeeltelijke overname domeinnamen (English version)
Daarnaast hebben we de volgende documenten nodig:
- een lijst met domeinnamen nodig in pdf versie inclusief een paraaf van de huidige registrar op iedere pagina EN
- de lijst domeinen in digitaal formaat om te kunnen verwerken in het systeem.
(dus dezelfde lijst domeinen, maar op 2 manieren aangeleverd, in excel en in pdf)
Deze formulieren kunnen verzonden worden naar accounts@openprovider.com
(Gelieve niet naar de support afdeling)
Nadat we de formulieren ontvangen hebben, zullen we het verhuisproces in gang zetten op de door jouw gewenste uitvoerdatum. SIDN rekent hiervoor gemiddeld 2 werkdagen.
Belangrijk: de ondertekening moet gebeuren door een rechtmatig bevoegde hiertoe. Dit is iemand die zowel in het KvK-register vermeld staat als binnen het DRS-systeem van SIDN opgegeven is als contactpersoon. Als het om een verhuizing van meer dan 10.000 domeinen gaat, dient de ondertekenaar tevens in het KvK tekenbevoegd te zijn voor een bedrag hoger dan €50.000.
Mocht het niet duidelijk zijn welke velden er ingevuld moeten worden door de huidige registrar, kijk dan even naar het voorbeeld. De velden met een pijl dienen ingevuld te worden, de overige velden vullen wij in.
Stap 2) Vervaldata
Er zijn enkele opties hoe we om kunnen gaan met de verlengdata van de domeinen.
Hieronder beschrijven we de 2 opties. Graag horen we voor de overname welke optie de voorkeur heeft.
Optie 1) Data gelijk laten lopen aan je eigen boekhouding
Stel dat jij je klant per jaar factureert. Dan kunnen we bij de import deze datum uit je boekhouding aanhouden. Voorbeeld: Je factureert je klant op 20 april voor een verlenging van een domein. Op 10 januari voeren we de overname uit. De periode tussen 10 januari en 30 maart is reeds door jou betaald bij SIDN, dit zal niet dubbel gefactureerd worden.
De periode vanaf het moment dat er bij SIDN niet meer betaald is voor het domein t/m de maand waarin het domein verlengd moet worden (datum die jij aanlevert) zullen we bij de import in rekening brengen. (In dit voorbeeld 1 maand)
Daarna gaat de jaarfacturatie in en zullen we ieder jaar op deze datum het domein verlengen.
Het enige wat we hiervoor nodig hebben is een excel lijst met je domeinnamen en je gewenste verlengdatums uit je boekhouding. (formaat: yyyy-mm-dd)
Optie 2) Alle domeinen worden voor een jaar verlengd op het moment dat er bij SIDN niet meer voor betaald is.
Stel dat je op dit moment je account op kwartaalfacturatie hebt staan. Je kiest ervoor om bij de overname alle domeinen in 1x te verlengen voor 1 jaar. Dat betekend dat het moment van importeren er geen registratiekosten gemaakt worden. Als het moment aanbreekt dat het kwartaal over is en de domeinen verlengd moeten worden, dan worden alle domeinen voor 1 jaar verlengd.
Let er echter wel op dat registrars niet per definitie dezelfde verlengdatum richting u als klant communiceren als dat er bij SIDN bekend is. Het kan zo zijn dat een domeinnaam welke door jullie voor een jaar betaald is, door de registrar per kwartaal verlengd en betaald word aan SIDN. Je kunt bij je huidige provider nagaan tot wanneer zij voor de domeinen bij SIDN betaald hebben.
Het kan dus voorkomen dat je bij een verhuizing de registratieperiode die je aan je huidige provider betaalt hebt, verliest. Wij zullen pas kosten in rekening brengen vanaf het moment dat er bij SIDN niet meer voor het domein betaald is.
Ons advies
Bij de eerste optie worden de registratiekosten over het jaar uitgespreid. Bij de tweede optie heb je alle registratriekosten op 1 moment in het jaar. Wij adviseren om de kosten over het jaar te spreiden (optie 1), zodat je cashflow beter verdeeld is en je minder risico loopt dat de domeinen in 1 keer niet verlengd worden wegens onvoldoende saldo, aangezien het bedrag kan oplopen, naarmate de grote van je portfolio.
Stap 3) De import
Bij de import zullen alle klant gegevens 1 op 1 overgenomen worden. Tijdens de import zullen dubbele handels van de import gefilterd worden zodat er per klant slechts 1 nieuwe handle over zal blijven.
Stap 4) Saldo en kosten
Op het moment van verhuizen met optie 1 dient er een saldo op het account te staan.
Mocht je met aangeleverde data verhuizen (optie 1), dan kan Openprovider op basis van je aantal domeinen een schatting geven hoeveel saldo er nodig is bij het overzetten. Meestal rekenen we met gemiddeld een half jaartarief per domein; als je een Membership hebt is dat €1,80 exclusief btw.
Gaat de voorkeur uit naar verhuizen zonder aangeleverde data (optie 2), dan betaal je de jaarregistratiekosten op het moment dat er voor de domeinen niet meer bij SIDN betaald is. Dit bedrag is zelf eenvoudig uit te rekenen, namelijk volume x registratieprijs.
SIDN rekent eenmalig € 64.50 voor een gedeeltelijke bulk .NL-verhuizing. Dit bedrag wordt afgeschreven van het tegoed op je Openprovider-account.
Let op: voor een volledige overname, waarbij een registrar zijn SIDN-accreditatie volledig beëindigt en alle onderliggende .NL-domeinen naar Openprovider migreert, worden geen kosten in rekening gebracht.
Kostenvoorbeeld:
Indien je 200 domeinen wilt overzetten gaan we uit van een benodigd saldo van:
200 domeinen x maandprijs a 0,31* x gemiddeld 6 maanden = € 372
Inclusief SIDN administratiekosten en 21% btw kom je op een gemiddeld benodigd saldo van € 512,-
* in geval van een actief membership.
Overige punten:
Let op, DNSSEC instellingen worden tijdens een verhuizing standaard niet meegenomen. Wil je dit wel, laat het ons dan weten voordat je de verhuizing aanvraagt. Als domeinen eenmaal zonder DNSSEC zijn overgenomen, kunnen we DNSSEC niet eenvoudig meer op een later moment toevoegen.
Domeinen worden, indien mogelijk, automatisch aan een bestaande nameservergroep gekoppeld. Dit gebeurt uiteraard alleen als de nameservers van het domein exact overeenkomen met de nameservers in een bestaande nameservergroep.
Domeinen welke op moment van verhuizen in quarantaine staan, zullen niet meeverhuisd worden.
In de whois zal bij .nl domeinen onze anonieme naam: registrar.eu vermeld worden.
Daarnaast is het ook mogelijk om bij .nl domeinen zelf als reseller in de whois vermeld te worden. Voor meer informatie over deze optie en hoe je dit kunt instellen vind je hier. Als je dit direct bij de import wilt aanpassen, stuur ons dan de gewenste handle toe.
Domeinnamen met .nl control nemen wij mee. De .nl control zal actief blijven. De domeinnaamhouder krijgt bij de overname wel bericht van de wijziging.
Domeinnamen met een juridische beperking worden ook meegenomen bij de overname. De domeinnaamhouder krijgt bij de overname geen bericht van de wijziging.
In uitzonderlijke gevallen moeten wij een nieuwe handle voor de houder definiëren. Hiervan ontvangt het administratief contact een e-mail van SIDN.
In sommige (oude) gevallen heeft SIDN geen e-mailadres van een contact. Hiervoor zullen we jou vragen om een e-mailadres dat we kunnen gebruiken voor al deze contacten. Wij adviseren een role-based adres zoals support@reseller.nl.
SIDN overname / bulkverhuizing - Gehele overname
This article is in Dutch as it will be primarily used by Dutch people. If you need an English explanation of this process, please contact us.
Stap 1) Indienen van de formulieren.
Voor een gehele account overname moeten de volgende 2 formulieren ingevuld en ondertekend worden.
SIDN formulier overname en sluiten account.pdf (English version)
SIDN formulier Inzage domeinen.pdf (English version)
Belangrijk: de ondertekening moet gebeuren door een rechtmatig bevoegde hiertoe. Dit is iemand die zowel in het KvK-register vermeld staat als binnen het DRS-systeem van SIDN opgegeven is als contactpersoon. Als het om een verhuizing van meer dan 10.000 domeinen gaat, dient de ondertekenaar tevens in het KvK tekenbevoegd te zijn voor een bedrag hoger dan €50.000.
Deze formulieren kunnen verzonden worden naar accounts@openprovider.com
(Gelieve niet naar de support afdeling)
Nadat we de formulieren ontvangen hebben, zullen we het verhuisproces in gang zetten op de door jouw gewenste uitvoerdatum.
SIDN rekent hiervoor gemiddeld 2 tot 3 werkdagen.
Stap 2) Financiële verplichtingen SIDN
Zorg ervoor dat er geen openstaande financiële verplichtingen meer aan SIDN bestaan.
SIDN kan een account niet sluiten zolang er openstaande rekeningen zijn.
Stap 3) Vervaldata
Er zijn 2 opties hoe we om kunnen gaan met de verlengdata van de domeinen.
Hieronder beschrijven we de 2 opties. Graag vernemen wij voor de overname welke optie de voorkeur heeft.
Optie 1)
Data gelijk laten lopen aan je eigen boekhouding
Stel dat jij je klant per jaar factureert maar bij SIDN altijd voor kwartaalfacturatie hebt gekozen. Dan lopen de vervaldata van SIDN en jouw eigen systeem niet gelijk aan elkaar. Wij kunnen tijdens de import de domeinen synchroniseren en de datum uit je boekhouding aanhouden. Dit doen we met behulp van tussentijdse maandverlengingen (die onzichtbaar zijn voor jou en je klant).
Een voorbeeld ter verduidelijking. Stel je hebt het bepaald domein met de volgende data:
Datum waarop je je klant factureert: 2019-10-23
Vervaldatum bij SIDN op het moment van de import: 2019-04-18
Wij synchroniseren tot de opgegeven datum, dat is 23 oktober. De huidige vervaldatum is 18 april, dus we verlengen met maandelijkse stappen tot het eerste moment op of na de eerstvolgende 23 oktober. Dat is 18 november 2019, dus we zullen 7x een maandverlenging doen.
De uiteindelijke situatie voor dit domein is dan:
Vervaldatum bij SIDN: 2019-11-18
Verlengdatum bij Openprovider: 2019-11-16
Datum waarop je je klant factureert: 2019-10-23 - maar uiteraard kan je ervoor kiezen om de datum naar je klant weer met Openprovider te synchroniseren.
Op het moment van de import betaal je voor 7 maanden verlenging en de eerstvolgende verlenging die je doet in Openprovider is pas op 16 november.
Een aantal opmerkingen hierover:
Als je een datum opgeeft die een jaar in de toekomst ligt, zullen we 12x een maandverlenging doen. Dit is iets duurder dan 1x een jaarverlenging. Daarom adviseren we je om geen data op te geven die meer dan een jaar in de toekomst liggen.
De maandverlengingen betaal je op het moment van de import, maar wij zullen bij SIDN elke maand apart verlengen. Om bij het bovenstaande voorbeeld te blijven: als je al op 10 juli het domein opheft of wegverhuist, dan is de vervaldatum bij SIDN 18 juli 2019. Deze datum neemt de nieuwe registrar over. De periode tussen 18 juli en 18 november (4 maanden) waarvoor je al wel betaald hebt, is dan verloren. Wij geven geen restitutie in dergelijke gevallen.
Het kan zijn dat de dag van de maand die je opgeeft niet overeenkomst met de dag van de maand die SIDN heeft staan (bijvoorbeeld, ervan uitgaande dat we de import in januari doen: je geeft 14 juli op, SIDN heeft 20 maart staan). In dat geval zorgen we ervoor dat het domein tenminste tot de opgegeven datum loopt. In dit geval wordt er 4 maanden verlengd tot 20 juli. Als we namelijk voor 20 juni hadden gekozen, dan moet het domein verlengd worden voordat jij je klant factureert.
Wil je voor deze optie gaan?
Het enige wat we hiervoor nodig hebben is een lijst met je domeinnamen en je gewenste verlengdata in het formaat yyyy-mm-dd.
Mocht het lastig zijn om deze gegevens uit je eigen systeem te halen, dan kunnen we ook de rapportage van SIDN gebruiken welke we toegezonden krijgen voor de overname. Hieruit gebruiken we dan de "datum in beheer", dit is de datum waarom de domeinnaam ook ooit bij jullie in het beheer is gekomen en komt in veel gevallen overeen met de datum waarom jullie de klant factureren.
Optie 2)
Alle domeinen worden voor een jaar verlengd op het moment dat er bij SIDN niet meer voor betaald is.
Stel dat je op dit moment je account op kwartaalfacturatie hebt staan. Je kiest ervoor om bij de overname alle domeinen in 1x te verlengen voor 1 jaar. Dat betekend dat het moment van importeren er geen registratiekosten gemaakt worden. Als het moment aanbreekt dat het kwartaal over is en de domeinen verlengd moeten worden, dan worden alle domeinen voor 1 jaar verlengd.
Ons advies
Bij de eerste optie worden de registratiekosten over het jaar uitgespreid. Bij optie 2 heb je alle registratriekosten op 1 moment in het jaar. Wij adviseren om de kosten over het jaar te spreiden (optie 1), zodat je cashflow beter verdeeld is en je minder risico loopt dat de domeinen in 1 keer niet verlengd worden wegens onvoldoende saldo, aangezien het bedrag kan oplopen, naarmate de grootte van je portfolio.
Stap 4) De import
Bij de import zullen alle klant gegevens 1 op 1 overgenomen worden. Tijdens de import zullen dubbele handels van de import gefilterd worden zodat er per klant slechts 1 nieuwe handle over zal blijven.
Stap 5) Saldo en kosten
Op het moment van verhuizen (optie 1 en 2) dient er een saldo op het account te staan.
Mocht je met aangeleverde data verhuizen (optie 1), dan kan Openprovider op basis van je aantal domeinen een schatting geven hoeveel saldo er nodig is bij het overzetten. Meestal rekenen we met gemiddeld een half jaartarief per domein; als je een Membership hebt is dat €1,80 exclusief btw.
Gaat de voorkeur uit naar verhuizen zonder aangeleverde data (optie 2), dan betaal je de jaarregistratiekosten op het moment dat er voor de domeinen niet meer bij SIDN betaald is. Dit bedrag is zelf eenvoudig uit te rekenen, namelijk volume x registratieprijs.
SIDN rekent € 51 administratiekosten voor het overzetten van het account. Deze kosten berekenen wij door middels je tegoed op je Openprovider account.
Kostenvoorbeeld:
Indien je 200 domeinen wilt overzetten gaan we uit van een benodigd saldo van:
200 domeinen x maandprijs a 0,31* x gemiddeld 6 maanden = € 372
Inclusief SIDN administratiekosten en 21% btw kom je op een gemiddeld benodigd saldo van € 512,-
* in geval van een actief membership.

Using the CSV transfer option
Question
How to use the CSV transfer option in the control panel?
Answer
The CSV transfer option is very useful when you want to transfer multiple domains with different data or different transfer dates.
Just follow the steps in the control panel to get this started!
1. Download the CSV template
2. Fill in the CSV template
3. Upload and parse CSV file
4. Start transfers!
FAQ
CSV template Details
1. Download the CSV template
Always start with downloading the CSV template from the control panel.
Save this as .csv on your computer and make sure not to adjust the file format (no xls, xlsx, ods, txt etc)
2. Fill in the CSV template
Open the CSV and add the required information.
The CSV might look intimidating, but in most cases, the information can be copied and pasted from the current provider, or existing Openprovider handles can be used.
Please note that the format of the template may not be adjusted. It is not possible to add or remove columns or rows as this will make the file invalid during upload. Not all fields are mandatory to fill in. Click here for full CSV details for a description of how to fill in the fields.
The limit is 500 domain transfers per file.
3. Upload and parse the CSV file
Once the file is prepared, is time to upload it. Use the upload button or just drag en drop the file in place. The control panel will check if the file is correct. For instance:
File format (for example make sure it’s a CSV and not a PDF)
File structure (making sure no columns are missing from the file)
Values in the file (for example checking that the date format or the phone number format is correct)
In case errors are detected in the file , the control panel will show them directly:
Please correct the errors in your CSV file and upload the file again.
In case an error description is not clear, let us know via support@openprovider.com and we will explain how to resolve the problem in the file.
4. Start Transfers!
When the CSV file is correct and successfully uploaded, the control panel will take you to the next page: “Start Transfer”.
On this page you can review all the domain transfers from the CSV file and make changes if required, for instance:
Remove a domain transfer from the list
Change an invalid authorization code
Unlock a domain and refresh the status
Note:
Registry unreachable → shown when a registry doesn’t respond, in this case, we can’t determine if the domain is locked or available for transfer. Usually occurs when a Registry is unavailable due to maintenance.
Once satisfied with the results, click on “Start the Transfer”
The control panel will create the domain transfers in the system. It might take a few minutes for these domain transfers to appear in the transfer overview. Just have patience, this delay is completely normal because this is a task executed in the background, so you can continue other actions in your control panel.
Note:
If you encounter any issues with CSV transfer via RCP, please submit a request to support using the attached template and we will process it. There should be no “ - “ in column names. Column “Owner address” should be separated into “Owner street”, “Owner address number” and “Owner suffix”. If the Admin handle needs to be the same as Owner, you don’t need to fill in the contact data, but specify in the “Owner” column value “0”. If the ‘Owner’ column is empty and not all info for the new handle is provided, an error will be returned. Same for Tech handle - “0” if it needs to be the same as Owner.
FAQ
Do you have questions after reading the documentation? Please check if your question is already answered in the scenarios below:
Q: I see a transfer price mentioned in the transfer overview, will this be directly charged when i start the transfer?
A: No, this is an estimated transfer price for each domain. In case the domain is scheduled with a date in the future, the complete balance does not need to be present in the control panel yet. Prices mentioned at this stage are an estimation and subject to changes, for instance:
When a domain transfer fails or a domain is locked we won’t execute that transfer, therefore it won’t be charged.
Registries can always change their price and that can affect the transfer price at the moment the transfer is executed.
Q: What happens if my balance is not sufficient for the whole amount at the moment I upload the CSV file?
A: When you upload your CSV file and click on the button “Start the transfer” our system will check for each domain transfer you schedule if you have enough funds. This is not a cumulative check, however. In other words, the check is executed against the single domain transfer price and not against the total sum.
In case the transfers are scheduled with a date in the future, there will be no balance reserved yet. This will only be done at the moment the transfer is executed.
In case the transfer is started immediately, the transfer will be initiated and the transfer fee will be invoiced.
Q: What will happen if a domain is currently locked or a code is invalid, but I continue to transfer them anyway?
A: In case the transfer date is in the future: The domain transfer will be correctly created in the status “Scheduled”. However, when the execution date comes the domain transfer will fail unless the domain was unlocked in the meantime or the code was updated in the scheduled transfer request in the meantime.
In case the transfer date is immediately: In this case the transfer is supposed to start immediately, but because of the locked domain or invalid code, there will be an error popping up in the control panel and the transfer will not be created.
Q: Some extensions require additional data, how do I manage this?
A: Correct, some domain extensions, for instance, the ccTLDs, can require additional data in the handle (like a social security number or VAT number). This data unfortunately cannot be specified in the CSV file.
When additional data is required, the easiest workaround is to manually create the handle in the control panel and provide the handle reference in the CSV file.
Another option is to import the CSV file first, so our system can create the handle for you. Afterwards, you can add the additional data to the handle via the handle management menu.
We always advise you to get familiar with the extension requirements and transfer process via our Knowledge Base before starting a transfer.
Q: I just started a CSV Transfer, however, I got a few notifications for some errors in RCP. Where can I see the full list of errors generated by a CSV Transfer?
A: Even if you carefully prepared your CSV file something might go wrong. For instance, you don’t have enough funds in your account or you haven’t accepted yet the contract required for a specific domain extension.
You will get a notification error in RCP for this and the corresponding domain transfer will not be created.
All the errors generated when starting a new CSV transfer can always be seen on the following RCP page: https://cp.openprovider.eu/web/action/index#/bulk/overview
Q: Can the CSV also be used for internal transfers? (Domains which are currently managed by a different Openprovider reseller)
A: Yes, you can use CSV Transfer also to schedule an internal transfer. Just make sure you have the right auth code and domain contact data.

Owner – internal reference
any alphanumerical string that reseller prefers
This is a unique customer code that the reseller can specify (for example it’s used by their own administration/database).
When an Internal Reference is specified, Openprovider will create only one handle for each customer in RCP.
If in a domain further below the same code is used, then Openprovider will not create a new handle but re-use the previously created handle and ignore the data in the spreadsheet.
If a user specifies both Openprovider handle and Internal reference, then the system will use the Internal reference value.

Transfer date
yyyy-mm-dd
The transfer date is always required. It can be the same day in case of a transfer scheduled to start immediately.
Important Note:
Owner, Admin, and Tech handles are required for the successful transfer of domains. You can either specify an existing handle or provide information (Company name, first name, last name, address, etc.) required to create new handles. If the Admin handle needs to be the same as the Owner, you don’t need to fill in the contact data, but specify in the “Admin” column value “0”. If the ‘Owner’ column is empty and not all info for the new handle is provided, an error will be returned. Likewise for "Tech" - “0” if it needs to be the same as Owner.
Waarom ontvangen mijn klanten e-mails over houderwijzigingen van SIDN na een overname?
Een bulkverhuizing (gehele of gedeeltelijke overname) van .nl-domeinen verloopt in principe zonder dat de domeincontacten hierover meldingen ontvangen. "In principe", want er is één uitzondering: in specifieke gevallen moeten wij de contacten van een domein wijzigen naar een nieuwe handle (met dezelfde gegevens). Als dit van toepassing is op het houder-contact, dan gaat er een e-mail van SIDN naar de admin-c.
Een bug in het SIDN-systeem is hier de oorzaak van: zoals je misschien weet, heeft SIDN er bij de introductie van de handles voor gekozen om de handle samen te stellen uit een ID-nummer en een registrar-identifier. Stel dat dat voor de overgenomen registrar ANDER is, en voor ons OPENP. Een handle zal er dan uitzien als ABC000030-ANDER of ABC000030-OPENP.
Het gedeelte voor het streepje is uniek in het systeem van SIDN: ABC000030 dus. Als een domein verhuisd wordt van registrar 1 naar registrar 2, dan gaat de handle mee over en wordt de registrar identifier aangepast.
Een normale verhuizing van een domein met handle ABC012345-ANDER naar ons toe zou dan een nieuwe handle in ons account opleveren ABC012345-OPENP. Het eerste wat wij na zo’n normale verhuizing doen, is een update sturen. ABC012345-OPENP wordt dan vervangen door een nieuwe handle die jullie hebben opgegeven bij Openprovider.
So far, so good. Het probleem is echter dat een SIDN-import read-only is. Wij gaan geen handles overschrijven, want de kracht zit hem er juist in dat jullie niets hoeven aan te leveren!
Stel: in het verleden is eens een domein in een bulkimport meegekomen waar ABC000030-(iets) in gebruik was. Dit is ABC000030-OPENP geworden, bijvoorbeeld op naam van “ABC Company B.V.” met e-mailadres info@abccompany.nl.
Toen kwam jullie import, met daarin óók domeinen met handle ABC000030-(iets), bijvoorbeeld op naam van “Abcoudense Voetbalvereniging”. In plaats van kopiëren, afbreken of waarschuwen, heeft SIDN gewoon besloten dat deze handle al bij ons bestaat en niet wordt gekloond of iets dergelijks. Het domein dat bij jullie op ABC000030-ANDER stond, heeft na het overnemen opeens het bij jullie
onbekende bedrijf “ABC Company B.V.” in de whois staan (maar dit kan ook beperkt zijn tot een ander e-mailadres, telefoonnummer of adres).
Om deze reden vangen wij dergelijke conflict-handles af, en vervangen we ze door een nieuwe handle met de gegevens zoals die in jullie SIDN-account bekend waren. Die gegevens halen we uit jullie SIDN-rapportage "Handles Extended".
Het is niet mogelijk om van tevoren te bepalen of dit op jullie accountovername van toepassing zal zijn. Uit ervaring kunnen we zeggen dat het meestal om 'enkele' domeinen gaat, ergens tussen 0,1% en 0,5%. Dit hangt echter af van het specifieke portfolio. Op verzoek kunnen we achteraf een lijst sturen voor welke domeinen een houderwijziging is uitgevoerd.
What is a "Transfer Robot" and how does it work?
This article will explain the basic principle of the Transfer Robots. It will cover the following questions:
What is the Transfer Robot service?
What details are required to initiate the transfer robot service?
For which registrars do you offer a transfer robot service?
Will this also skip any transfer messages towards end-customers and the ICANN contact-verification requirement?
What is the Transfer Robot service?
Openprovider developed a series of transfer robots for a wide range of external registrars.
The process is simple:
You provide us with access to your account at the other registrar
We schedule the transfers and process them in the background
As we have access to your account, we are able to retrieve the required details by API to start the transfer.
Our system will create an Openprovider customer handle which completely matches the current details. We will retrieve the nameservers, dns zone (if applicable) and transfer-code.
We offer 2 options regarding the transfer-dates of the domains;
We can read the expiration date of a domain via your account, so we schedule it shortly before that date to safeguard your cash flow. You will see the scheduled domains at all times in your control panel, which gives you all the freedom to adjust or remove (via RCP or API) the transfers yourself before they start.
Or transfer the entire portfolio on one given date, which will allow you to close the other registrar account sooner and bundle all possible end-customer communications and questions in 1 moment.
What details are required to initiate the robot transfer service?
In general, Openprovider only needs 2 things;
1. The credentials of the account.
2. The list of domains that needs to be transferred.
1 --> Please make sure that the credentials shared have API access enabled.
Some registrars are working with IP whitelisting. In those cases our IP addresses which our robot is using needs to be added to the account. Our sales team can inform you further about the IP addresses which need to be added.
2 --> To avoid any confusion about current statuses or renewal-settings in the account, we will only import the domains for Robot Transfer, which you will submit to us. (preferable csv format)
Ready?
You can start your request via the control panel.
Our sales team will reach out to you as soon as possible with more details.
For which registrars do you offer a Robot Transfer service?
As the list of available Robots keeps on growing, please reach out to sales@openprovider.com to get the latest info about that.
Will this also skip any transfer messages towards end-customers and the ICANN contact-verification requirement?
Transfer messages
The goals of the transfer robot is to schedule and process the domains in an automated way. There are some notifications from the current registrar which we can not prevent. Therefore we ask to read the information below carefully and inform the end-customer before activation the robot.
We offer 2 options regarding the transfer confirmations;
Our robot will receive the FOA2 email, confirming the transfer to achieve the domain to be transferred as soon as possible. To do this, the end-customer will get a notification that the email-address is (temporarily) updated. (Default option)
The end-customer receives the FOA2 email. Approval can speed up the transfer, but in most cases, it is not required as a gTLD transfer will continue after 6 days. With this option the end-customer has the option to reject the transfer.
Our advise is to use the default option where our robot will receive and handles the transfer related emails. This will reduce the risk of rejected transfers. A notification about a changed email-address might be less intimidating than an email about an outgoing transfer.
Our advise is to inform the end-customers about the upcoming notifications regarding the temporary email-address adjustment. After the transfer is completed, the original email-address is placed back.
ICANN contact-verification
One of the ICANN requirements is the contact verification: each contact used as owner for a gTLD registration is checked against our database. If the e-mail address has not yet been verified, we will send an e-mail to that e-mail address in which we require an affirmative response. If we do not receive one, we are forced to suspend the domain registration, until the email is verified.
This verification process must be done by every registrar itself. It is not possible to "re-use" verification done by other / previous registrars.
As this requirement is part of our contract with ICANN (as ICANN accredited registrar), we cannot skip this process.
We do advise to review our white-label options in this article and create a custom template which your end-customers will recognize.
What is a domain transfer and how does it work?
Question
How to initiate a domain transfer to Openprovider?
Answer
You want to transfer your domains to Openprovider? Great!
Before starting the transfer, there are some important things to check.
1 - Not all extensions will work the same
You might have experienced a domains transfer before.
That's great, but keep in mind that not all domains might follow the same procedure. It will depend on the domain extension which transfer steps will be taken.
Every Registry can set their own transfer policy and however most of them will follow the same general principle, you might notice a difference between them. Some require a transfer code, some not. Some will be real-time and some will take 5 or 7 days.
We always advise to get familiar with the transfer procedure via the detailed extensions page before starting a transfer.
2 - Check if your domain is active and not locked
For a successful domain transfer, it is important that your domain is active at a current registrar or provider and that the domain is not locked. You can verify this in the whois and check for the "status" field or at your current provider. In case your domain is already expired or locked, please contact your current provider first to resolve that. Once the domain is active, it is ready to be transferred.
3 - Get the authorisation code
Most domains transfer will require a transfer code which can be supplied by your current provider. There are some exception however, like .uk or .es domains. In case the transfer code field is not present in the control panel, a code is not required to initiate the transfer.
4 - Request the transfer
A transfer can be started from a few locations, like the control panel, the API or various plugins.
Please review this article to discover all transfer options that are provided via the control panel.
5 - Have patience
You successfully initiated the transfer request and now what?
Well, in most cases after you have initiated the transfer, the transfer is;
processed real-time and the domain is direct active in your control panel! (for example for .nl or .be)
initiated but can take 5 till 7 days before the transfer is successfully finished (for example .com, .org)
initiated and a verification email to the registrant or admin contact has been sent (for example .es, .lu)
initiated but additional documentation is required (for example .ie or .hu)
As this process can be different per extension, we advise to check the detailed article about that specific extension and follow the instructions there.
In case the transfer should have been finished according to the documentation but stays "requested", please contact our Support Department.
Why is my transfer not yet processed ?
This article explains different scenarios why the initiated transfer was not completed or processed successfully.
Incoming transfer
Outgoing transfer
Incoming Transfer
A questions that we receive a lot.
You have requested a transfer for a domain a few days ago and you still see "REQUESTED" in your control panel and you are not sure why and what you need to do.
gTLDs (generic TLDs .com, .net, .biz, .email, shop etc)
If this is a gTLD domain (an extension with more than 2 characters, like .com, .net, .biz, etc) the procedure goes as follows:
- You request the transfer in Openprovider. (You can see a "Pending Transfer" in the whois)
- The domain stays in pending transfer for 5 days. During those 5 days, the owner / admin contact has the option to accept or decline the transfer via the old provider. In most cases, this can be done via an email (Referred to as "FOA2") that the old provider will send (not via Openprovider)
- IMPORTANT: If nobody responds to the email, the domain will be transferred on day 6 (so 6 days after the request is done in Openprovider).
Can Openprovider speed this up?
No, as the domain is not in the management of Openprovider, Openprovider has no control over the domain and can not speed it up.
The only option to speed it up, is to explicitly approve the transfer via the old provider. They can inform you how you can do this. (Via email or via a control panel etc)
Can Openprovider cancel the incoming transfer?
No, Openprovider can not cancel the incoming transfer, this can only be done by the registrant or admin contact via the FOA2 email which was sent by the current registrar.
ccTLD (country code TLDs, like .fr, .es etc)
The transfer procedure and transfer time of ccTLD may vary a lot, as every country may decide on their transfer procedures.
For example: .fr transfers can take 8 to 22 days, .es transfer will only succeed when an email is verified in time etc
In these cases, we advise to check the Knowledge base article of that specific TLD to see what the transfer procedure and transfer time is. You can search on the TLD in the search bar to find the article.
Outgoing Transfer
In case you are transferring a domain from Openprovider to an other registrar and the transfer is not processed, you can check the transfer procedure at the new provider to check if any remaining actions needs to be taken.
After an outgoing transfer is started, the registrant will receive a "FOA2" email to confirm or deny the transfer. Approving the email will speed up the transfer process.
In case the reseller and you want to speed it up, there may be an option (if supported for that TLD) to approve the outgoing transfer via your control panel. This option is mainly available for gTLDs.
Domain management > Request queue transfers and trades > Outgoing transfers
Be aware, this is only possible for active domains. Once a domain is expired, we can no longer request updates for the domain (besides a restore), so forcing the outgoing transfer is no longer supported.
Openprovider can not DENY an outgoing transfer.
This is only possible via the "FOA2" email which is sent to the owner / admin contact af the domainname.
Trademark Clearinghouse / TMCH
Can I also submit other types of trademarks to the TMCH?
Question
Can I also submit other types of trademarks to the TMCH?
Answer
Through the reseller control panel, you can submit a 'normal' registered trademark to Openprovider for validation by the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH).
If the trademark you want to be validated is a court validated mark or a marks protected by statute or treaty, please contact our support department. In your request, include all details about the mark to be validated. The price is similar to that of a regular trademark.
Can I include common typos in my trademark order?
Question
Can I include common typos in my trademark order?
Answer
Apart from the exact match of your trademark, the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) also recognizes abused names like deliberate typos and misspellings. Suppose your company name is Example and in the past somebody abused your name by registering Examp1e (with a number "1" instead of the letter "L") in a certain extension. If there has been a UDRP decision in the trademark holder's favor for that domain, you might be eligible to include that misspelling in your TMCH order. Up to 50 of such additional labels might be added and additional costs apply.
Those additional labels are not applicable for Sunrise registrations, but will receive any trademark claims notification if somebody else tries to register that typosquatted name.
Please contact our Support department with information about the trademark and the typos to add as a label if you have any trademark including abused variants.
Can I register my trademark for more than one year?
Question
Can I register my trademark for more than one year in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)?
Answer
Yes, you can register your trademark for 1, 3 or 5 years. Multi-year orders lower administrative pressure (you don't have to renew and re-validate the trademark every year) and on top of that give you a financial advantage (except for Supreme Members). The Trademark Clearinghouse will verify your trademark registration on an annual basis, but you won't be contacted unless they require some clarifications.
Can I transfer my Trademark Clearinghouse-record to Openprovider?
Question
Can I transfer my Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) record to Openprovider?
Answer
Yes, this is possible. The benefits of a transfer to Openprovider are a good price, and the availability of the different additional services that Openprovider offers like Sunrise registrations or protected marks lists. Order a TMCH transfer with the following steps:
If you have the SMD-file at hand, upload that to the transfer page of the TMCH. The e-mail address linked to the TMCH order will receive an e-mail with an authorization code now.
If you do not have the SMD-file at hand and you've applied for the TMCH order with another TMCH agent, ask that TMCH agent to send the code to the e-mail address linked to the TMCH order.
If you do not have the SMD-file at hand and you've applied for the TMCH order directly at TMCH yourself, log in to the TMCH portal, open the mark record and press the "Send transfer code" button to send the code to the e-mail address linked to the TMCH order.
The code that you receive must be provided to Openprovider, after which we will transfer the mark for you.
Please note that the transfer token is valid for only 14 days. If that period expires, a new token must be requested.
The price for such a TMCH transfer is USD 50; the expiration date of the TMCH-order remains unchanged. Future renewals will be done through Openprovider.
Can a device mark (image mark) be registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse?
Question
Can a device mark (image mark) be registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)?
Answer
Yes, as long as your mark includes clearly distinguishable valid characters. The text string that will be submitted to the Trademark Clearinghouse must be a complete match of the textual elements in the device mark. For more details and extensive examples, please refer to section 5 of the TMCH Guidelines.
Do I get a refund if my Trademark Clearinghouse application is rejected?
Question
Do I get a refund if my Trademark Clearinghouse submission is rejected?
Answer
No. The fee is used for validation of the trademark and is not refunded if your trademark is deemed invalid. Note that you always have one opportunity to correct an invalid application during a period of 20 days. During the validation process, Openprovider will keep you informed about the options you have to correct your application.
Do I need the Trademark Clearinghouse?
Question
Do I need the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)?
Answer
If you are not planning to do anything with new gTLDs, there is no need to submit your trademark to the TMCH. However, submission gives you the following advantages:
You can register yourtrademark.tld in the Sunrise period of a newly launched extension.
You are notified if somebody else registers yourtrademark.tld in the Trademark Claims period.
During the Trademark Claims period, registrants are informed about the existence of your trademark if the try to register yourtrademark.tld
Some registries offer additional services to TMCH validated trademarks, like protected marks lists.
If you do not submit your trademark to the TMCH, you still have the normal procedures for brand protection: you can bring anyone that registered yourtrademark.tld to court to claim your domain. Depending on the registry's policies, this claim will be accepted or rejected. This is not different from current disputes under .com or .nl for example.
The advantage of a TMCH registration (apart from the priority status for new extensions and additional services) is that you are actively notified if somebody registers yourtrademark.tld.
How do I validate a trademark through the TMCH?
Question
How do I validate a trademark through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)?
Answer
Openprovider is an official agent of the Trademark Clearinghouse. That means that Openprovider can submit the trademarks to the TMCH in order to be validated, and the Openprovider can offer you any additional service once the trademark is validated.
Before submitting a trademark validation order in Openprovider, check that you have all required data, for example an extract of the trademark register.
Then, log in to the Openprovider Control Panel, and go to menu New gTLDs > Trademark Clearinghouse. Here you can submit a new trademark to be validated.
When Openprovider receives your order, we will verify the entered data and ask you for two documents: a signed declaration and a proof of use. With those documents, the TMCH can enable new gTLD services for this trademark (like Sunrise registrations).
After the documents have been received by Openprovider, we will submit your order to the TMCH. Normally within a week, your order is finished.
How many labels can I register with my trademark?
Question
How many labels can I register with my trademark?
Answer
Up to 10 labels are included in the standard price. Multiple labels are allowed, but a small additional fee applies. Please contact our Sales department for more information.
Is a Trademark Clearinghouse registration similar to a domain registration?
Question
Is a Trademark Clearinghouse registration similar to a domain registration?
Answer
No, a Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) registration does not give you any domain registrations. However, it is a prerequisite if you want to register yourtrademark.tld in the Sunrise periods of a new gTLD.
If you want to register yourtrademark.tld, you will have to order the domain registration as you order any other domain registration in Openprovider.
Also the costs of a TMCH registration are independent of a domain registration: you pay the TMCH fee, and for each domain registration you pay the normal domain fee. In most cases, registration in the Sunrise period will be charged a different price than registration during other stages.
What are the benefits of a Trademark Clearinghouse validated mark?
Question
What are the benefits of a Trademark Clearinghouse validated mark?
Answer
A mark that is validated by the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) provides the following advantages:
The trademark holder gets the highest priority to claim his matching domain name during a registry's sunrise period. Register yourtrademark.tld using the unique code, called SMD (Signed Mark Data), which you received after validation of your trademark.
You will be notified if somebody registers a domain name that matches your trademark in any extension that is in the Trademark Claims Period.
The trademark holder can apply for additional trademark protection services.
What information is required for a Trademark Clearinghouse registration?
Question
What information is required for a Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) registration?
Answer
The Trademark Clearinghouse requires the following data:
Name of the mark
Registration number and registration date
Jurisdiction
Description of goods and services class
Detailed description of goods and services*
Status of the Trademark Holder (owner/licensee/assignee)
Organization (in case of company/organization) or full name (in case of individual)
Address of the Trademark Holder
Contact information of the Trademark Holder
The following data is optional:
Application number
Application date
Expiration date
If you want to apply for Sunrise services or Claims notification, you also need:
Signed declaration of use and a single sample of proof
* The detailed description of goods and services should be in the language as on the trademark certificate. If sub classes have been excluded, they need to be put between square brackets ( [...] ).
What is Trademark Clearinghouse?
Question
What is Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)?
Answer
Trademark protection is one of the core principles of the release of new extensions. In order to have a uniform process in trademark validation, ICANN appointed the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) to provide a centralized database of verified trademarks, that is connected to each and every new TLD that will launch.
Initially, a validated trademark only provided priority over domain registrations in the so-called Sunrise phases, but over time additional services (like "protected marks lists") have been introduced which use the services of the TMCH to check existence validity of a trademark.
If you are, or your customer is, a trademark holder and want to benefit from the priority treatments of new extensions, the first step is to let the TMCH validate your trademark.
What is a 'proof of use'?
Question
What is a "proof of use" (PoU)?
Answer
Apart from the existence of a trademark, the trademark owner also has to proof that he actively uses the trademark in the class(es) it is registered. This prevents domain brokers from harvesting large numbers of domains.
The proof of use consists of a signed declaration and a sample of proof of use. This sample is defined as "an item that evidences an effort on behalf of the Trademark Holder to communicate to a consumer so that the consumer can distinguish the products or services of one from those of another."
Accepted samples of use include labels, tags, or containers from a product; or advertising and marketing materials (including brochures, pamphlets, catalogues, product manuals, displays or signage, press releases, screen shots, or social media marketing materials). Also a screenshot of a website that clearly shows the trademark is accepted.
Not accepted samples of use include inclusion of a trademark in a domain name; e-mail messages; licenses to use a trademark or applications for business licenses that include the trademark as part of the business name; or business cards.
Please refer to the TMCH Guidelines section 2.2.3 for detailed descriptions of these data elements.
During the process of a Trademark Clearinghouse order we will provide you with more information about those documents.
What is a label?
Question
What is a label?
Answer
A label is the term that the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) uses to define which exact text string is covered by a validated trademark. It is the name of the trademark, converted into a domain-like representation. That means that characters that are invalid in a domain name (for example a space) are removed or converted.
As a trademark might be represented as different labels, depending on how the invalid characters are handled. The rules are the following:
the special characters & and @ may be omitted, replaced by a hyphen or spelled out in one of the languages for which the trademark is valid
special characters may be omitted or replaced by a hyphen
In all cases, the result should be a valid domain name, i.e. not starting or ending with a hyphen, not containing two or more consecutive hyphens and not being more than 63 characters in length.
As an example, assume the trademark “We & Openprovider” is registered in the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property. The following labels may be registered:
weopenprovider (omitting &)
we-openprovider (replacing & by a hyphen)
we-and-openprovider (replacing & by the English 'and')
we-et-openprovider (replacing & by the French 'et')
and similar, replacing & by 'en', 'y' or 'und'
For more details and examples, please refer to section 3 of the TMCH Guidelines.
What trademark can be registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse?
Question
What trademark can be registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)?
Answer
The Trademark Clearinghouse accepts any trademark which is:
still valid in the trademark register (not expired, rejected, cancelled or withdrawn)
in use by the trademark owner, in the class it is registered
court validated mark or a marks protected by statute or treaty are accepted as well.
A trademark may contain international characters, but not a combination of character sets: a Chinese trademark is accepted, a trademark having both a Chinese word and an English word will not be accepted.
An image trademark (visual trademark or device mark) is accepted as well, as long as the image contains characters that are allowed in domain names.
Trademarks containing a dot (.) are only accepted if the dot is not part of a domain extension (apple.pear is allowed, apple.com isn't).
For more details, please refer to sections 2.2.5 and 4 of the TMCH Guidelines.
