• Only the letters in original can be processed. No ownership transfer, Registrar transfer or domains deletion may be effected upon the faxed copies. Letter copies may only be submitted for verification purposes.
• Documents with facsimile signatures are not accepted.
• The documents must be in English or Russian language.
• In the process of domain rights transfer sometimes it is required to transfer rights for additional services for this domain as well (Primary, Secondary, Web-forwarding, Domain Redirection, Mail Redirection, Hosting). If the domain and additional services are administrated under the same agreement, requests for the domain and additional services transfer can be included in one letter. Otherwise you should present individual letters for domain transfer and transfer of additional services. The form of an additional services transfer letter is similar to the form of a domain transfer letter. The letter must be sent on behalf of the person, who is using the services at present time.
• Conditions under which domain name transfer cannot be performed
• Domain rights and domain support transfer to another Registrar is accomplished by means of official letters from the domain Administrator:
  • A legal entity
