Changing the registrant of a Nominet domain name (co.uk, org.uk, me.uk)

Step 1

Only the central registrar (Nominet) can make this type of change.

You will need to complete a registrant change form which needs to be signed by the current registrant and the new registrant - both parties will also need to send a letter of confirmation to Nominet.

The transfer form is included with the original registration certificate - if you do not have one of these you will need to contact Nominet directly to request the form.

For full details you will need to go to:

http://www.nominet.org.uk/registrants/maintain/transfer/

Nominet charge a £10 + VAT administration fee for these changes. We have no control over these changes and you will need to deal directly with Nominet.

Note: You cannot change the registrant of a .ltd.uk or .plc.uk domain as these already have to exactly match the Limited / Public Limited Company they were registered for.

Step 2

You can verify once a transfer request have been completed by viewing our online WHOIS database record for your domain name.

We cannot process or discuss domain name changes over the telephone - for this type of change you should speak direct to Nominet but if you have any other questions please use our contact form.
