Transfer

Registrar changes have to be initiated by the registrant by logging in at https://www.domreg.lt/:

Using his login name and password (registrant receives login and password information via email after domain name registration) and specifying new registrar (1API GmbH).

If you do not have or forgotten your login details you can request it https://www.domreg.lt/public?pg=6EE48B.

After the registrant has initiated the registrar change in the web interface of the registry, the TRANSFER has to be requested in our system. Our system will take over the domain administration from the old registrar.

Transfer requests initiated in the web interface by the registrant are valid for 7 days. After this period, the registrant has to initiate the registrar change again.

Ownerchange

Registrant changes have to be initiated by the registrant by logging into the registries website https://www.domreg.lt/registrant?loc=en:

Using his login name and password (registrant receives login and password information via email after domain name registration) and specifying new registrar (1API GmbH).

If you do not have or forgotten your login details you can request at https://www.domreg.lt/public?pg=6EE48B&loc=en.

After the registrant has initiated the registrant change in the web interface of the registry, the TRADE has to be requested in our system.

TRADE requests initiated in the web interface by the registrant are valid for 7 days. After this period, the registrant has to initiate the registrar change again.

If the domain name contains a reserved mark, the registrant can't initiate the registrant change himself, but has to contact the registry support to provide the new registrant details and prove the new registrant's rights to domain name mark.

After the domain name registrant change, the new registrant can't initiate a domain name registrant change in the registry's domain administration system for the next 30 calendar days or has to ask the registry to initiate the registrant change. In this case, the registrant has to provide the registry with a written agreement between parties of the last domain name registrant change.

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.
