| Transfers |
You can tranfer a .nz domainname after the first five days your domain was registered. You do not need to involve your old registrar in the transfer process, provided you can supply your new registrar with the UDAI (Unique Domain Authentication ID) for the domain name. If you don't have the UDAI, your old registrar is obliged to make it available to you promptly upon request. Please note that transferring your domain name does not necessarily absolve you of any contractual obligations you may have entered into with your old registrar. |

| Extra information |
Registrants need to be identifiable individuals over 18 years of age or properly constituted organisations. Registrants do not need to be based in New Zealand nor does their domain name need to be hosted in New Zealand.
The zone file is pushed to the .nz nameservers on the hour, evey hour. |
