Registration

Registration is realtime and the company registration number or personal identification number is required in all handles.

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.

Transfer

A transfer of a .es domain follows the steps as described below.

* Request the transfer in Openprovider
* The domain administrator receives an e-mail from the registry to approve the domain transfer. This approval should be given within 10 days.

After a transfer, the expiration date remains unchanged. The transfer will be free of charge, but take care of a possible quick renewal.

Please, be aware that all contacts have to be correct. It means, with the province / state added and also the company number or passport/id. If not, domain will be transferred but neither contacts nor DNS will be changed in registry side.

In case the e-mail to confirm the transfer is not received, the registry can re-send it. Contact them at info@dominios.es or ask our support department.
