Transfers

To be able to complete .NZ domain transfers you'll need your current registrar to give you the domain's AuthCode or EPP-Key, with it you'll be able to verify your domain's ownership.

Transfers can take between 5 and 7 days to complete. Some registrars allow to accept transfers manually, contact your current registrar and find out if they offer this service, in this case the transfer will complete the same day.

More information about .NZ domain transfers

When the transfer ends, the expiration date doesn't change.

Renewals

The renewal of .NZ domains is different than with other extensions.

It's necessary to request the domain renewal at least 1 days before the domain expiration.

In case the renewal request is done after this date, the correct renewal is not guaranteed.

Cancellations

It's possible to ask for the cancellation of your .NZ domain, you'll have to do it opening a ticket (support area). Please note the domain cancellation involves no refund of the domain registration fee.

DNS modifications

DNS modification is immediate, please note they must propagate through the network, this process can take up to 6-12 hours to complete, until then the domain will still point to the previous DNS servers.

DNSSEC

We allow the usage of DNSSEC on .nz domains, thanks to it your domain will be able to take advantage of an additional security layer that DNS servers that are compatible with this tecnology can provide.
