The process to update or change the legal registrant of a domain is dependent on the the suffix, and therefore, the Registry that the domain is registered with.

Once you have logged in to your Online Control Panel, select Domain Names from the left menu
Now select the domain you wish to update from the list of domains on your account
You can then select Registrant Details from the left hand menu
You will now see the following in the centre of your screen
From here, you can update the Legal Registrant of the domain name, as well as altering the address details. Once you have made all change, select Update. There is no charge to update this type of domain.
Updating the legal registrant of a .UK domain
Unfortunately, Nominet, the .uk registry do not allow us to automate this process. You will need to contact Nominet on 01865 332244, to request a transfer form. This form will need to be signed by both parties and sent back to Nominet with confirmatory letters from both parties. Nominet will then make the necessary changes and advise us accordingly. There is a fee payable to Nominet.

This is a manual process which must be done with the help of our Domain Administration Specialists. To begin the update process of an International domain name, please raise a support ticket through your Online Control Panel, selecting Domain Transfers as the department, and stating the domain name you would like to update. Once this has been received by our Domain Administration Specialists, they will advise what further information is needed.Moving a domain to a new Namesco account
