  ⚠️ This form is only valid for domain owner changes carried out via CloudPit.

2. Change of ownership in the control panel

Log in to the easyname Control Panel.

Go to [Domains] in the menu on the left and click on [Manage] for the desired domain in the overview.

In the administration overview, you will find the [Change owner] button in the Contacts section.

Click [Set Other Owner].

2.2 Select contact or create new contact

• If the new owner contact already exists, select it.
• If not, you can create a new handle via [Add New Contact].

2.3 Confirmation

Depending on the domain, the change may require confirmation. On the next page, you will find instructions and, if applicable, a pre-filled form. 

⚠️Important: For ownership changes initiated in the control panel, only the forms generated there will be accepted. The form at the end of this article is intended exclusively for CloudPit applications.

3. Special requirements depending on the domain extension

3.1 ICANN-Domains

(.com, .net, .org, .info as well as newer TLDs like .shop or .gmbh)

• The change requires confirmation from two emails:
  • one to the previous owner
  • one to the new owner (according to the contact handle)
• The change will only be completed after both confirmations have been received.
• If the old owner's email address is not available, a pre-filled form will be provided, which must be signed by both parties.
• For organizations/companies, a company stamp and ID of the signatory are also required.

3.2 .at-Domains (nic.at)

• A pre-filled form is automatically provided in the control panel.
• For companies or organizations, proof of the signatory's authority to sign is required (e.g., extract from the commercial register or association register).

3.3 other TLDs

• For certain extensions (e.g., .hu, .ro, .ru, .cn), the registry may require additional documents.
• In this case, easyname will inform you by email and request any necessary documents before creating the form.
