[edit] TLD specific

[edit] Change Authcode

The .NL registry (SIDN BV) does not allow registrars to reset the auth code for a .NL domain, this can only be requested by the registrant of the domain. In exceptional cases, it can be done without the consent of the registrant but a clear (legal) reason to request a new auth code of the domain is needed.

To request a new auth code you will need to supply the registry with:

• Individual:
  • Copy ID of the registrant
  • Signed consent (written, email) from the registrant for the generation of a new auth code.

• Company:
  • Copy ID of the requester / CEO of the company.
  • Signed consent (written, email) from the CEO of the company according to a COC / Business registration document for the generation of a new auth code.
  • Copy COC / Business registration document less than 3 months old.

[edit] NameserverCheck

Configured nameservers are required by the registry. A nameserver check is available here https://zonemaster.net/domain_check, enable options do specify specific nameservers.

[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.
