Registration

Successful domain registration via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:

registrant e-mail address verification applies

Note that, as for ICANN's contact verification requirements, we are obliged to send an e-mail to the domain owner if his e-mail address was not verified before. Failure to respond to this e-mail may lead to suspension of any gTLD domain name with this same e-mail address in the owner contact.

A new registration is processed in realtime.

Transfer

Successful domain transfer via RCP or XML API or REST API requires:

authorisation code
registrant e-mail address verification applies

To be able to complete .GG 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.
