Requirements
Who can register a .rec.ro?
- Both individuals and companies can register a .rec.ro domain name, provided they supply the required identification details.
Additional details for registration
- If you register as an individual, you need a valid passport or identity card number.
- If you register as a company, you need your registration number in the commercial register. This can be a commercial register from any country.
- A company also provides a tax number or VAT number. The VAT number applies to companies within the EU.
Transfer
Transferring a .rec.ro
- To transfer a domain to another registrar, you need a transfer code, which you request yourself as the registrant from the registry ROTLD.
The transfer code
- Only the registrant can request the transfer code, via their own account on the website of the registry ROTLD (rotld.ro).
- In that account, choose the option to request an authorisation code for transferring the domain.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- A change of registrant isn't processed immediately, but goes through a manual procedure with forms and documents.
- After a successful change of registrant, the registration period starts again. Any remaining term on the domain is lost.
- The current registrant first requests a special authorisation code for the change of registrant via their ROTLD account. That code is sent to their email address.
- You pass the password and this authorisation code on to WebOké, so the change of registrant can be started.
- If the new registrant is an individual, they provide a copy of an identity document, preferably a passport.
- If the new registrant is a company, it provides a copy of the company's registration or articles of incorporation.
- The current registrant receives a form by email. They must sign and date it, and add a company stamp if the company has one.
- Upload the signed form via the link in that email, together with a copy of the current registrant's identity document and, for a company, a company document.
- The upload link is valid for 10 days. Let WebOké know once you've uploaded the documents, so the request can be processed further.
- If the domain was registered or transferred before 3 April 2018, a separate manual procedure applies to the change of registrant. The price is available on request.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If the domain was registered or transferred before 3 April 2018, cancellation is handled manually. This requires a signed form to be sent to the registry ROTLD by fax and by post.
- For domains registered or transferred after that date, cancellation works without these extra steps.
- Restoring older domains, from before 3 April 2018, from quarantine is done manually. You'll be notified of the outcome by email.
