Ownerchange

To replace the handle set as the ownercontact at the registry a trade is required. This can be done through our web interface or through our API:

Please note that the registry does not support handle updates. You have to create a new handle containing the same information for Name, Firstname and Organisation as well as the updated contact information and attach it to the domain with the TradeDomain command.

command = TradeDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

ownercontact0 = (CONTACT)
auth = (TEXT)

OPTIONAL

X-LT-REGISTRANT-LEGAL-ID = (TEXT) | (NULL)

TLD specific

Special parameters

X-LT-REGISTRANT-LEGAL-ID is required as of December 1, 2018 if the registrant is a legal entity

The legal entity identification code of the registrant can be provided as X-LT-REGISTRANT-LEGAL-ID within the AddDomain, ModifyDomain, TransferDomain and TradeDomain command.

Ownerchange

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

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

If you do not have or have forgotten your login details you can request at https://registrant.domreg.lt/rngen.

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 start the registrar change again.

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