How registration, updates, provider changes, and deletion work

Registration

We offer two form-based procedures to assist you with data entry. Until your order is processed, the desired domain may still be registered by third parties. Only after receipt and verification will the registration be carried out and your domain will be online within a few minutes:

Online registration form
Please note: Registration for the DENICdirect service is handled by our subsidiary DENIC Services GmbH & Co. KG. You will be redirected directly to their website.
Registration via paper form
Download form to fill out online or by hand. You must sign the completed domain order in a legally binding manner and send it to the address specified on the form.

Provider transfer to DENICdirect

Would you like to transfer your domain from your existing provider to DENICdirect? DENIC offers the password-protected AuthInfo procedure for this purpose.

Contact your existing provider to set a provider change password (AuthInfo).
The provider stores this password in encrypted form with DENIC. Please note: The password is valid for a maximum of 30 days.
Then fill out the provider change form, which must be signed by the domain owner or their legal representative in a legally binding manner.
If the password stored with DENIC and the password specified in the form match, the domain can be transferred to DENICdirect.

Domain transfer from DENICdirect

You have decided to have your domain managed by a provider in the future and no longer by DENICdirect. DENIC offers the password-protected AuthInfo procedure for this purpose.

You register a provider change password (AuthInfo) with DENICdirect. A form for registering an AuthInfo is available for this purpose, which must be signed by the domain owner or their legal representative in a legally binding manner.
Provide the AuthInfo to your new provider and request a provider change.
The new provider submits a provider change request to DENIC using the AuthInfo.
If the AuthInfo matches the one stored at DENIC, your domain will be transferred to the new provider immediately.

Update

As the domain holder, you are responsible for ensuring that your domain data is always correct. Please notify us if your domain data changes.

To do so, please fill out the update form provided by us in full.
Please note that for your security, we can only accept updates to domain data in writing and with a legally valid signature from an authorized signatory (owner or legal representative).

Deletion

If your domain is managed by our DENICdirect service, you can request deletion through us.

To do so, please fill out the deletion form completely. Please note that for your security, we can only accept deletion requests in writing and with a legally valid signature from an authorized signatory (owner or legal representative).
