Registration
You always have to provide the vat identifier of registrant, admin, and technical contact, if the respective contact is used for a .PT domain for the first time. If the registrant contact is identical to the admin contact and technical contact, you only have to provide the vat identifer for the registrant. In case that the respective contact is for a private person the ID-card/Passport number has to be specified.
X-PT-REGISTRANT-VATID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required if the contact is used for the first time for a .PT domain X-PT-ADMIN-VATID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required if the contact is used for the first time for a .PT domain X-PT-TECH-VATID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required if the contact is used for the first time for a .PT domain
Example command:
command=AddDomain domain= <DOMAIN> ... ... X-PT-REGISTRANT-VATID = <VATNUMBER> X-PT-ADMIN-VATID = <VATNUMBER> X-PT-TECH-VATID = <VATNUMBER>
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.
