If you plan to transfer domain name sponsorship in gTLDs and non-Russian ccTLDs (.COM, .NET, .TV, .ME, .TEL, .TRAVEL, etc.) to another registrar, it will be required first to unlock the domain:
- log in to your personal account;
- in "Operations" menu select "Review and update data on services";
- find "Domain name" service - "Domain registration";
- in "Modify parameters" column click on "Status";
- remove mark "Registrar change prohibited";
- click on "Save" button.
It is also required to obtain registry authorization code. To obtain the code, please, submit your request to tld-ncc@nic.ru with domain name indication, your agreement number with a request to submit registry authorization code.
In the reply e-mail you will get authorization link. After authorization you will confirm your domain name management rights. After you receive such confirmation registry authorization code will be submitted to you.
Then, you will be required to apply to the new registrar with a request to initiate registrar change procedure in the registry.
Once you obtain notification from the registry about registrar change initiation Rucenter will send you a transfer request. In the event of you decline the transfer, Rucenter will give the registry a corresponding notice.
If you confirm the transfer Rucenter will submit to the registry a consent to transfer domain name to another registrar and delete domain name from its database.
If you do not reply to the Rucenter's transfer request within the perion of three (3) calendar days, Rucenter will not respond to the registry's request and, after five (5) calendar days from the day the registry's request is sent to Rucenter, the registry will transfer the domain name sponsorship to another registrar.
If an international, foreign, or New gTLD domain name is suspended due to expiration of registration period and then renewed, it is recommended to initiate the registrar change no later than 45 days after the renewal. Otherwise, the one year added to the registration period at the time of renewal by the former registrar may be canceled by the Registry, and then after the registrar change procedure the total domain registration period will be increased by one year only, not by two.
Registrar change is not allowed if:
- less than 60 days passed since the moment of domain registration;
- less than 60 days passed since the last registrar change.
