Requirements
Who can register a .case?
- There are no restrictions for .case. Anyone can register a domain name.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name. During that period you can't transfer it to another registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .case
- You need a transfer code to start the transfer.
- Check beforehand that the domain name doesn't have a transfer lock. You can see this in the WHOIS.
- Has your current registrar set a transfer lock? Then, as the registrant, you can ask them to remove it.
- The transfer is requested at the registry. The registry automatically lets your current registrar know that the domain name is leaving.
- Your current registrar sends an email to the registrant, and sometimes to the administrative contact as well. You may be able to approve or reject the transfer in that email.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it's completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain. The registrant or administrative contact can request it from the current registrar.
- The code is at least 16 and at most 48 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! # $ % & * + - ? @ or ~.
Owner
Change of registrant
- You can move the domain name to another registrant. ICANN's transfer rules apply to this.
