Registry authorization code

Authorization code is used to get additional protection from unauthorized registrar change. In the process of registrar change Registrant should provide the authorization code to the registrar, who will get the domain name. Without the authorization code or with a wrong authorization code the registry will decline the request of the new registrar for domain name transfer.

How to get the authorization code

If domain name administrator does not know the authorization code, he should contact the current registrar. As per ICANN's rules, the registrar should provide the authorization code to the domain name administrator. Information, which is essential for the registrar in order to confirm that you are the domain name administrator, is determined by the registrar.

If RU-CENTER is the current registrar

A Registrant should send to tld-ncc@nic.ru a request, where he/she should indicate the domain name and ask for the authorization code for domain transfer to another registrar. In response to your request RU-CENTER will send you an authorization link. By authorizing you will confirm your domain administration right. Upon receipt of such confirmation RU-CENTER will send you the registry authorization code.
