# How to request a .pt trade at the registry?

## Question

How do I request .pt trade (owner change) at the registry?

## Answer

To process a trade, gather the documents and data as described below and send them to[DNS.pt](https://www.dns.pt/en/contacts/contacts/).

- Statement emitted by the current registrant authorizing the ownership transfer to the new one, see example below.
- The statement should include the NIC-handle and VAT number of the current and the new registrant entities, to ensure the correct identification of entities.
- The NIC -handle can be requested through our Support Department
- Information from the new registrant indicating acceptance of the arbitration agreement, see example below.

Once the forms have been completed and signed, please send them to [DNS.pt](https://www.dns.pt/en/contacts/contacts/) and add our support department in cc for further processing.
