TLD specific

Individual Registrant Privacy Option (IRPO)

The optional X-DISCLOSE flags allow a registrant to use the Individual Registrant Privacy Option (IRPO). Choosing to enable the IRPO will hide the phone number and address information for the domain contact(s) in WHOIS search results.

The X-DISCLOSE parameter applies privacy to all contacts, the X-REGISTRANT-DISCLOSE parameter applies privacy to registrant contact only, the X-ADMIN-DISCLOSE parameter applies privacy to admin contact only, and the X-TECH-DISCLOSE parameter applies privacy to tech contact only.

The registrar contact is not subject to WHOIS privacy. If the registrar contact is similar to any of the above contacts, then there should be two contact handles, one which is applicable for WHOIS privacy and one that not subject to WHOIS privacy.

By enabling this feature, a .NZ domain registrant guarantees that they are an individual registrant and not using their .NZ domain(s) for significant trade.

Generating an Authorisation Code

COMMAND = ModifyDomain
GENERATERANDOMAUTH = 1
DOMAIN = <domain>

Expiring Authorisation Codes

Please note that Auth Codes may only be obtained from the current registrar of a domain name, and that they expire after 30 days.

Registering Reserved Second Level Domains

The .NZ Registry offers Registrants, who already own a .CO.NZ (NET.NZ / ORG.NZ ) domain the possibility to register the name-pendant under .NZ. Requirement is, that the .CO.NZ (NET.NZ / ORG.NZ ) is registered in HEXONET. If this is the case, you should submit a "transfer-request" for the corresponding .NZ domain, by providing the Auth code of the existing .CO.NZ (NET.NZ / ORG.NZ ) - Domain. If necessary, see above on how to obtain an Auth code for an existing domain.

The transfer may then be requested in the Control Panel or with the following API command using the new Auth code (AUTH) of the third-level domain:

COMMAND = Transferdomain
DOMAIN = example.nz
AUTH = ABCDE1234
PERIOD = 1
EOF

The resolved name can only be registered using details that match the registrant details used for the qualifying 3rd level domain name. Approval will not be given for registration under other details.

Modify Contact

Specify which dedicated contact details should be affected by the DISCLOSE parameter setting. If not stated the DISCLOSE parameter affects all possible contact details. Multiple values are possible and have to be separated by a blank space.

command=modifycontact
contact=<CONTACT-HANDLE>
X-NZ-DISCLOSE=1
X-NZ-DISCLOSE-ELEMENTS=ADDR VOICE FAX EMAIL VAT IDENT NOTIFYEMAIL

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.
