Notarized Power of Attorney

As a rule, clients shall have a notarized power of attorney attached to the filled letter forms from the registrant for domains ownership transfer, domain sponsorship transfer to another Registrar and registration cancellation.

A power of attorney is not required in the following cases:

1. If letters are personally brought to the office by a Registrant having a passport about him/her;
2. If a Registrant is a non-resident (non-residents should attach a passport copy to the letter);
3. If domain sponsorship is transferred to RU-CENTER from another registrar (with no ownership transfer);
4. In other client-specific cases.

Powers of attorney are issued in Russian only, whereas they are used for RF residents making ownership transfers and certified by Russian notary officers.

A sample form of the power of attorney issued for RU-CENTER employee
(for the cases when documents are posted or delivered by courier):

• for domain ownership transfer (doc)
• for domain sponsorship transfer to another registrar (doc)
• for registration cancellation (rtf)

Power of attorney shall specify second-level domain name without www.

A power of attorney may be issued for the person other than RU-CENTER employee, but for the transferor's representative. In this case this representative shall personally visit RU-CENTER office with the passport. The sample form of the power of attorney is similar to that issued for the RU-CENTER employee.

Domain ownership may not be transferred by letter signed by the registrant's representative based on a power of attorney, if this domain is transferred to this representative or another person he/she represents. (part 3 art. 182 of RF Civil Code).
