Requirements
Who can register a .org.am?
- You must provide real, complete details. Fake details or a generic name such as 'Domain Administrator' are not allowed.
- Give the registrant's full name, without initials. If you use initials, the registry may revoke the domain name.
- Domain names with a sexual meaning are not allowed. To be on the safe side, avoid anything related to this.
- Also not allowed are geographical names, country names, two- or three-letter country codes, well-known abbreviations and acronyms, and generic terms.
- The registry can revoke an existing domain name if it's established that you're using it for spam or for illegal or inappropriate purposes, such as inciting hatred, supporting terrorism, inciting violence, pornography or human trafficking.
Documents
- For a transfer, you need a letter of authorisation from the current registrant.
- For a change of registrant, you need a simple letter in English in which the current registrant states that they are transferring the domain name to the new registrant. Also include a copy of their proof of identity.
- Submit documents as a PDF file of no more than 2 MB in total. Other file formats are not accepted.
Good to know when registering
- The registry reviews every application and has to approve it. You can, however, manage the domain name straight after applying.
- The registry may reject an application. If that happens, you'll get a full refund.
- Every .org.am domain name comes with a service that hides your details in the WHOIS. You can't turn this privacy protection off.
Transfer
Transferring a .org.am
- For a transfer, you need a letter of authorisation from the current registrant.
- You submit the transfer request together with that letter to the registrar, who then handles the rest of the transfer for you.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- After applying for a change of registrant, you send a simple letter in English in which the current registrant confirms that they are transferring the domain name, along with a copy of their proof of identity.
- Want to change the registrant's name or organisation? You can only do this through a change of registrant, not through a regular change of contact details.
- After a change of registrant, the domain name's registration term starts again.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If you cancel the domain name, it won't be deleted at the registry until the end of the current registration period.
