Requirements
Who can register a .com.ro?
Additional details for registration
- If you're registering as a company or organisation, you need your registration number with a commercial register, for example the Dutch Chamber of Commerce or a foreign register.
- A company also provides a valid VAT number or tax number. A VAT number is only needed if the company is based in the EU.
- If you're registering as a private individual, you provide the number of a valid passport or identity card.
Documents
- For a change of registrant, the new registrant includes a copy of their ID, preferably a passport. A company sends proof of registration or incorporation.
- The current registrant signs a form and uploads it together with a copy of their ID. If the current registrant is a company, a company document must be included as well.
Transfer
Transferring a .com.ro
- To transfer a domain to another registrar, you need a transfer code. As the registrant, you request it yourself from the registry ROTLD.
The transfer code
- Only the registrant can request the transfer code, through their own account on the website of the registry ROTLD.
- There, choose the option to request an authorisation key for the domain transfer.
Owner
Change of registrant
- A change of registrant isn't processed immediately and may take a while.
- After a successful change of registrant, the registration period starts again. Any remaining term on the domain is lost.
- As the current registrant, you first request a special authorisation key for the change of registrant in your ROTLD account. Choose the option for transferring the right of use. You'll receive the key by email.
- Pass your password and this authorisation key on to the registrar. WebOké will then start the change of registrant for you.
- The current registrant receives a form by email. They must sign and date that form and, if the company has a stamp, stamp it as well.
- Upload the signed form and the requested documents via the link in that email. The link expires 10 days after you receive the email.
- Let the registrar know once you've uploaded the documents, so the change can be processed further.
- If you want to change the registrant's name or organisation, this can only be done through a change of registrant, not through a regular update of the details.
