Requirements
Who can register a .kyoto?
- You may register a .kyoto domain name if you have a valid physical address in Kyoto. This applies to individuals, companies, organisations, and public and private institutions.
- The municipalities and local authorities of Kyoto may also register.
- You must continue to meet this local presence requirement for as long as you hold the domain. The registry checks the registration details for this from time to time.
- If you don't meet the requirement, the domain name is first blocked for 30 days. During that period you can have your details corrected.
- If you don't resolve it within those 30 days, the domain name may be deleted. The full terms can be found in the registry's registration policy.
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 the domain to another registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .kyoto
- You request the transfer code from your current registrar. The transfer starts with that code.
- Check WHOIS beforehand to make sure there's no transfer lock on the domain. If your current registrar has placed a lock on it, ask that registrar to remove it.
- After the request, the registry notifies your current registrar that the domain is being transferred.
- Your current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact as well, an email about the transfer. You can often approve or reject the transfer in that email.
- If you do nothing, the transfer is completed automatically after 5 days.
- You can't transfer the domain during the first 60 days after registration.
The transfer code
- To transfer a domain, you need a transfer code. You get it via the registrant or the administrative contact of the domain at your current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long.
- The code contains at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - or ~.
