The registry requires the 2 character province code for addresses within Italy. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Italy#List Wikipedia list of Italian Provinces]

 +
=== Domain registration confirmation ===
 +
Since summer of 2013 and after the latest roll-out of the NIC.IT guidelines (http://www.nic.it/create-and-change.it/regulations-and-guidelines), the IT registry requires the registrar to send out a confirmation email to the registrant, in order to inform him about the domain registration. This obligation is part of the EU Ecommerce Guideline of 2000 resp. 2005 and as each IT registrar is obliged to send out these emails.

In the special case that the organization and the name of the current registrant are identical it is possible to remove the organization with an update operation (new contact handle with only a name that matches the old name and organization).

If you change the owner contact handle of a .IT domain (no ownerchange, e.g. if the address of the owner changed), you have to set a new authorization code for the domain along with the ModifyDomain command.

If DNSSEC is not enabled for the accreditation, the secDNS-remove-all parameter will not work as expected, but the registry allows registrars to flush the DS record for the domain by submitting an update to remove and re-add the same nameservers to the domain.

If the Registrant is an individual, the owner contact and the administrative contact must coincide!


Only individual and juridical persons residing in or belonging to a EU Member State can register domain names under the ccTLD "it". Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Esthonia, Finland, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden. For customers of any other country, we offer a Trustee Service.

If the registrant is an individual, the .IT PIN has to be

  • The registrant's fiscal code (for Italian citizens consisting of exactly 16 characters and numbers) or
  • the number of an identity document (for citizens resident in other EU states, where there is no equivalent individual fiscal code).

If the registrant is an organization, the .IT PIN has to be

  • The company's fiscal code (for Italian companies consisting of exactly 11 digits) or
  • The company's VAT number
Please remark that the domain registration fee is non-refundable. That means that if the domain registration cannot be finished (e.g. in case of permanently failed DNS checks) the domain will be deleted after 30 days without any refunds.


[edit] Italian Province data

The registry requires the 2 character province code for addresses within Italy. Wikipedia list of Italian Provinces

[edit] Domain registration confirmation

Since summer of 2013 and after the latest roll-out of the NIC.IT guidelines (http://www.nic.it/create-and-change.it/regulations-and-guidelines), the IT registry requires the registrar to send out a confirmation email to the registrant, in order to inform him about the domain registration. This obligation is part of the EU Ecommerce Guideline of 2000 resp. 2005 and as each IT registrar is obliged to send out these emails.

Please find below an e-Mail template for individuals as well as for organizations:
For individual
For organization

[edit] Trustee Service

Depending on the TLD, the Trustee Service will be added to the existing contacts, or replaces one or more of the WHOIS contacts. Once replaced the Trustee acts on behalf of the registrant and thereby makes a registration of that specific TLD possible. It can be activated using the following parameter: 

X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1 ''enable our trustee service''

In order to mitigate legal risk of our Trustee, we validate all .IT domain registration requests which utilize our .IT Trustee Service. Registration of .IT domains using our Trustee Service will stay in "requested" status until validated by the Trustee lawyer. Please note that Validation can take up to 24 hours during a business day and up to 72 hours over weekends. <be>

[edit] Nameserver Checks

PLEASE NOTE: The registry performs nameserver checks, therefore, domains are not activated until the domain's nameservers are successfully checked by the registry.


Nameservers for a .IT domain have to be correctly configured before the registration request succeeds, otherwise registration will fail.
Please check that the following requirements are met:

  • there must be at least 2 (two) authoritative nameservers for the domain name, and they must correspond exactly to those found in the registration of the domain name
  • the IP addresses of hosts in the registration of the domain name must correspond to those actually associated with them in the DNS
  • the domain name cannot be associated with a CNAME record
  • the name of the nameserver specified in the SOA record for the domain name cannot be a CNAME
  • the names of the authoritative nameservers for the domain name cannot be CNAMEs
  • if there is an MX registration it cannot be associated with a CNAME
  • all hosts in the registration must be authoritative for the domain name registered

    The registry offers a validation tool to check the nameservers. https://dns-check.nic.it/

    [edit] Transfer

    There is a different transfer procedure depending on if the domain name is currently registered with a REGISTRAR (EPP system) or with a MAINTAINER (older registration system). To see if a domain is currently registered with a REGISTRAR or with a MAINTAINER simply have a look at the whois: 

    mnt-by: <REGISTRARNAME>-REG --> Domain is registered with a REGISTRAR
mnt-by: <REGISTRARNAME>-MNT --> Domain is registered with a MAINTAINER

    [edit] Transfers from a REGISTRAR

    The transfer has to be initiated by the gaining registrar and can be requested with the API TransferDomain command.
    A valid Authorization Code must be provided to initiate a transfer successfully. You may obtain the authorization code from the losing registrar.
    As soon as a domain transfer has been initiated it can either be approved ("ACK") by Registrar or denied ("NACK") by Registrar. If the registry receives neither a denial ("NACK") nor an approval ("ACK") the transfer will be ACKed after 1 day.

    [edit] Data management policy violation

    The registry does contact validation at the time of transfer. If the contact handles at the current registrar has missing details, the requesting account will need to provide new contacts with the transfer order to satisfy the requirements.

    Possible error message: 

    504 Data management policy violation; Request for domain references an uncompleted registrant. A mandatory field is empty or has a wrong value.

    [edit] Transfer Notes

    [edit] Ownerchange

    Overview which registrant contact elements can only be changed through a TradeDomain command:

    In order to assign a new registrant contact handle to a .IT domain sometimes an update (ModifyDomain command) is required and sometimes a trade (TradeDomain command):

     registrant contact handle element(s) to be changed   required operation 
     name (if org exists and remains unchanged)  update
     name (if org does not exist)  trade
     org (if org is identical to name and is being removed)  update
     org (to a non-blank value)  trade
     street  update
     zip  update
     city  update
     state  update
     country  trade
     phone  update
     fax  update
     email  update

    In the special case that the organization and the name of the current registrant are identical it is possible to remove the organization with an update operation (new contact handle with only a name that matches the old name and organization).

    X-IT-PIN

    If only the VAT ID (X-IT-PIN) should be changed this can be done through an update operation (ModifyDomain). If also the registrant name or registrant organization should be changed please check the above table for the required operation.

    [edit] Renewal Process

    Domains cannot be renewed explicitly. To renew a domain you have to set the domain renewal mode or default renewal mode to AUTORENEW. Within the AUTORENEW process the registration period will be extended by 1 year. Alternatively, requesting a renewal via the control panel should complete a PayDomainRenewal command and the Paid-until date will be increased by 1 year.

    [edit] Addons

    The following overview shows you all available Domain Addons which can be used for this special kind of TLD. It also shows the respective API parameters which are required to activate the Domain Addons:

    Addon Class Parameter to (de)activate *1) Renewal term *2) Affected Parameters *3)
    Trustee X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1 1 month OWNERCONTACT,ADMINCONTACT
    Trustee X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1 1 month OWNERCONTACT,ADMINCONTACT
    Trustee X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1 1 month OWNERCONTACT,ADMINCONTACT
    Trustee X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 2 1 month OWNERCONTACT,ADMINCONTACT
    Trustee X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 2 1 month OWNERCONTACT,ADMINCONTACT
    Trustee X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 3 1 month OWNERCONTACT,ADMINCONTACT
    Trustee X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 3 1 month OWNERCONTACT,ADMINCONTACT






    *1) Parameter to (de)activate: When accessing our backend through the API, you can either activate the addon with X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC=1 or deactivate it with
          X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC=0
    *2) Renewal Term: Is the minimum renewal term of the "Addon Class"
    *3) If you are using a "Trustee" Domain Addon normally the original owner contact or the original admin contact or both are replaced by a contact provided by the trustee provider.
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          



    [edit] RegistrarOC

    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.

    Please do not initiate a restore directly at the registry (e.g. using the registrar webinterface). All restore operations must be performed through our system.


    [edit] Remove DNSSEC

    If DNSSEC is not enabled for the accreditation, the secDNS-remove-all parameter will not work as expected, but the registry allows registrars to flush the DS record for the domain by submitting an update to remove and re-add the same nameservers to the domain.
