Procedures concerning changes to a domain

It is important that if something changes in connection with a domain (e.g., some data of the registrant, the registrant themself, or the registrar), the data in the register should be modified accordingly, as soon as possible.

There are two types of domain registration:

  • document-based and
  • confirmation procedure-based.

In both cases, the registrant communicates with the Registry through the registrar.

In the case of document-based domain registration, modifications often require different documents, while in the confirmation procedure-based registration, in most cases the changes are confirmed by registrant using their email address (and possibly telephone number), no documents are required.

The procedures are described here:

Transfer of delegation, changes in registrant's name

Here we highlight one of the most important changes related to the domain name, when the name or person of registrant changes. This may be due to a transfer, name change, succession or other reasons. In such a case, it is important that the change to be recorded in the register as soon as possible, as the legal domain user is the one listed here.
