In case that the respective contact is for a private person the tax number has to be specified.

Transfer

To transfer a domain you first have to request the so-called authorization code and also the process number of the domain online in the registries web-interface. The registries website is accessible on http://www.dns.pt, with your login and password. After the login, please be so kind and enter the process file, and use the link “transfer code”.

Please note that you also need to provide a so called "ROID" to transfer a domain name. API users should provide this value with the parameter

X-PT-ROID = <TEXT>

Deletion

Domains can be deleted with the DeleteDomain command. If you delete a .PT domain it will not be renewed but it will expire at the end of its term.

Ownerchange

You also have to state the VAT identifier of the new registrant:

X-PT-REGISTRANT-VATID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required

Restore Process

To restore a domain as a RegistrarOC customer, you simply have to execute the RestoreDomain command. HEXONET directly forwards the restore request to the registry, which performs the restore in real-time. As soon as the restore is complete, the domain will get assigned to your account with the original domain data.
