Please ensure the email address for the domain's administrative contact is valid, as a transfer confirmation email will be sent by the registry.
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 Customer or denied ("NACK") by Customer.
The domain will not be renewed upon a successful transfer, so the expiration date of the domain will stay unchanged.

  4. Login at the registry with the credentials of the current admin contact here
  5. Once you are logged in to the web interface, click on "Solicitud Transmisión de dominio" (Domain Transfer Request)
  6. Enter the domain name
  7. Enter the new owner contact handle "Titular nuevo"
  8. Enter the new admin contact handle "PCA nuevo"

RegistrarOC

Change of Registrant (Trade)

If you are RegistrarOC customer, you have to activate pending domain trades after receiving the fax form with the ActivateDomainTrade command. As RegistrarOC customer, you have the possibility to customize our fax form with your logo and your fax number.

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.
