A Change of Registrant (CoR) for .AU domain names is the process of changing the eligibility information tied to the domain.
To change the legal ownership of a .au domain, or update the ABN/ACN/TM number attached to the registrant:
Step 1 - Log into your Client Area
Step 2 - Click on Domains.
Step 3 - Click on the Domain you want to change the eligibility for.
Step 4 - Click on Initiate CoR.
Step 5 - Select the renewal length you want.
|
A CoR will issue a new licence for the chosen length selected once completed. On transfer of a licence, any full years remaining on the licence will automatically be transferred to the new registrant, up to a maximum licence period of five years. Only full years will be transferred over, so if a licence is transferred with two years and four months remaining, the new registrant will enter a new licence agreement with a period with three years, if one year is selected for the renewal length. New licence length = Remaining time in whole years + New renewal length (up to a maximum licence period of five years) |
Step 6 - Create invoice, then once paid, this will begin the initial process of sending an email to the registrant email address. Details contained in the email will outline the steps required to complete the Change of Registrant process.
NB: Please ensure you have access to the registrant email on file before processing!
A Change of Registrant forces the domains renewal period to be reset.
The cost to complete the CoR is AU$20 per year selected in 'Renewal Length'
