LETTERS WITH ELECTRONIC OR SCANNED SIGNATURES WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS VALID

2. On receiving this notification:

  • the RA modifies the xyz.it domain present registration in the database (within 10 working days), modifying the value of "mnt-by" related attribute from "mnt-by: ABC-MNT" to "mnt-by: CHANGING-MNT".
    This last value corresponds to a maintainer created expressly to allow the immediate identification of those domains for which the ISP change is ongoing.
  • The RA sends to both the provider/maintainer a provider change statement and urges NetRegister to send an updated registration form for xyz.it.
  • UPDATED ELECTRONIC FORM FOR THE DOMAIN NAME IS AUTOMATICALLY SENT BY NETREGISTER WIZARDS AND AUTOMATED PROCEDURES.

3. Having received the new form (since the receiving of the syntactically correct form, RA has 10 working days to conclude the registration phase or to highlight some faults to NetRegister), RA does this:

  • checks the primary and secondary nameserver configuration for that domain;
  • adds the postmaster e-mail address in the postmita@nic.it list, if it is not there yet;
  • erases the old form postmaster address, if the person was only the postmaster for the xyz.it domain;
  • modifies, if necessary, the delegation of xyz.it on the nameserver of .IT (in case of sub-geographical domains in which the related geographical domain is not managed by RA, the RA sends the delegation modification request to its manager);
  • carries out the new form registration in the RA and RIPE databases;
  • communicates the delegation change to the old provider/maintainer.

4. Herewith, please read and take note of the art.5.2 of the Registration Technical Procedures:

"The assignee of a domain name sends the request for changing maintainer/provider. This request must be signed by the one indicated as admin-c in the registration form or by the legal representative of the subject that uses the domain name. The request must specify the name of the present and the future maintainer.

The Italian Registration Authority modifies the content of the "mnt-by" field within the electronic form (contained in the RNA) and inserts the value "CHANGING-MNT", that identifies the domain names which are currently changing provider/maintainer.

Then, the Registration Authority sends an e-mail to the providers/maintainers involved in this change, communicating the beginning of this procedure. Consequently, the RA invites NetRegister to send via electronic mail the new registration form for the domain name, updating the data.

At this time, the RA applies the check procedures as described in art. 2.2.2, 2.2.3 and 2.2.4. Furthermore, the RA checks that the previous provider/maintainer has removed the delegation. If the previous provider/maintainer does not do so, it will be stopped from registering domain names in the future"

We strongly recommend you read the most frequent mistakes list reported below in order to pre-check your request.

5. The provider/maintainer change most frequent mistakes:

  • The requestant is not the admin-c of the domain name, nor the legal representative of the company which manages the domain name;
  • The business/corporate name of the company is not the same as the one indicated when the domain name was registered;
  • The business/corporate name is not indicated in full (Ex. The requestant belongs to PIPPO Srl, but the request comes from PIPPO);
  • The letter has not been signed;
  • The letter is not legible;
  • The names of the old and the new provider/maintainer are not indicated correctly (Ex. It is indicated the name of the POP that backs the maintainer);
  • The provider/maintainer name is not indicated with the MNT abbreviation (in order to check the correctness of the provider/maintainer name, we invite you to make a query to the WHOIS database, typing the provider/maintainer name);
  • The new provider/maintainer has not signed a contract with the Registration Authority yet;
  • The domain name is still under registration or does not exist in the RA database.

Documents

Time rough

From 4 hour to 2-3 days (if all documents received by RA are correct).

Note: the Registrar/Maintainer transfer procedure is always started by the replacing Registrar/Maintainer instead of the previous Registrar/Maintainer.
