.es domain registration↓
You can register a .es domain through our API or control panel. This registration is real time and requires the following information:
All used handles must have the following details filled in:
Note that for entities based in Spain, the registry will strictly check the province included in the handle. See for the correct naming our separate knowledge base article.
.es domain transfer↓
You can start the .es domain transfer through our API or control panel.
This transfer requires the following information:
After the transfer is requested in your control panel, the .es Registry will sent an email to the administrative contact of the domain to approve the transfer. This approval should be given within 10 days, otherwise the request will time out.
This email can not be re-sent, so we advise to check if the mailbox of the current administrative contact is still in use and accessible, before you request the transfer. If the email is not received, you need to contact the Openprovider support department. We can help in manually canceling the current request and restart your transfer, which will trigger a new approval email being sent.
Remember that the owner and admin can also cancel the transfer from the .es Registry control panel. Once done, please contact Openprovider support in order to delete the domain from our database to let you request the transfer again
Please, be aware that the owner will not change during the transfer. If you want to change the owner of the domain, you will have to transfer it and once done to request the trade directly from the registry's page. An extended article detailing about the trade of a .es domain name can be found here;

The registration period after a successful transfer remains unchanged. The transfer will be free of charge, but take care of a possible quick renewal.
