A copy of government issued identification for the Registrant which must match what is listed in WHOIS. (Example: Drivers license, passport, etc). In .JPG format between 100K and 1MB.

For organizations:

A copy of corporate documentation that shows it is a legal entity. (Example: Articles of incorporation, business license) Additionally, the CNNIC audit system only allow one page to be uploaded. They have requested that only the first page of the license, which mentions the official company name be provided.

Rejected registration attempts:

If the required documents are not complete or contain errors or if the applying registrant does not fulfil the registry's requirements the registry may reject the registration. Unfortunately, they do not automatically provide a reason for the rejection to the registrar. In case that you need to know the exact reasons for a rejection please contact our support. We will then contact the registry and ask for the reasons for the rejection. Please consider that this may take up to 7 working days.

Change of Registrant

Modifications to a .CN domain owner contact can be performed in the Control Panel or using the API.

The new owner information has to be verified within 30 days after the update. Otherwise the registry will de-activate the domain. Please see above information for the required documents.

Rejected ownerchange attempts:

If the required documents are not complete or contain errors or if the applying registrant does not fulfil the registry's requirements the registry may reject the ownerchange. Unfortunately, they do not automatically provide a reason for the rejection to the registrar. In case that you need to know the exact reasons for a rejection please contact our support. We will then contact the registry and ask for the reasons for the rejection. Please consider that this may take up to 7 working days.

Transfer notes

• Please ensure, that you have a correct “Authorization Code” associated with the domain, before initiating the transfer, otherwise it will fail.
• Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD). This can be seen in the WHOIS. If the domain is locked, then the owner can demand that this be unlocked.
• Initiate the transfer on time and not just shortly before the domain expires.
• Please ensure that the domain is older than 60 days otherwise the transfer will be denied.
• Please note that if a .CN domain name is registered with a direct accredited CNNIC registrar (Domestic), it can only be transferred to a gateway registrar (Foreign) with a manual procedure. Please contact our support by email and send us the domain name and the respective authorization code.

In case that a domain name is registered with a domestic registrar, the error message of our system will return the message:

545 Object does not exist (<value>SRS Major Code: XXXX</value> |
<value>SRS Minor Code: XXXXXXXX</value> |
<value>--DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND</value> | <value>Domain name: DOMAIN.CN</value>)

Restore Process

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.
