Requirements
Who can register a .орг?
- A domain name under .орг may only contain Cyrillic characters.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name. During this period, you can't transfer the name to another registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .орг
- Check the WHOIS beforehand to make sure the domain name doesn't have a lock, such as a registrar lock or HOLD status. If it does, the registrant can ask the current registrar to remove the lock.
- Request the transfer code from your current registrar and provide it when you request the transfer.
- After the request, the registrant and the administrative contact listed in the WHOIS receive a confirmation email. The transfer only starts once you confirm that email.
- A .орг transfer may only start once the current registrant has confirmed the ICANN authorisation form. You can find the rules at http://www.icann.org/transfers/.
- The request then goes via the registry to your current registrar. They send the registrant or administrative contact an email that can be used to reject the transfer.
- If you don't respond to the email from your current registrar, the transfer will be completed automatically after 5 days.
- If the email address in the WHOIS is invalid, the transfer can't go ahead. In that case, ask your current registrar to update the WHOIS details.
- After a successful transfer, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code to transfer a .орг domain name.
- The registrant or administrative contact requests the code from the current registrar.
- The code must be 8 to 32 characters long and contain at least one letter, one digit and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - or ~.
Owner
Change of registrant
