Whonami-When do you use an account change for a domain name?

Use an account change in the following situations:

  • You want to move your domain name to another account with your current registrar. For example, you sold your domain name to someone who has an account with your current registrar.
  • You need to change the domain name contact’s email address and don’t have access to the account where the domain resides. For example, the account containing the domain name belongs to a former employee.

If you have access to the account — Initiate a domain name account change through the Domain Manager. For more information, see Moving a Domain Name Out of Your Account.

If you do not have access to the account — Complete the Request for Change of Account/Email Update Preparation Form. For more information, see Submitting a Change of Account/Email Update Form.
