1.6 Change of Owner

How to Change the Owner of a Domain?

Change of Owner (COR)

If you register a domain with Joker.com, you are the 'owner' of this domain, meaning that this domain is added to your domain portfolio, and you always have full control over this domain.

Your role then represents that of the Joker.com "account holder." As of 2016-12-01, this role is also regarded as the "Designated Agent" of a domain (DA). This has been introduced in the ICANN Change of Registrant policy (COR).

The responsibilities of a DA are regulated within Joker.com's Terms & Conditions specifically by sections §19-2, §19-4, §10-2, §10-7, and §10-8.

The definition of concept of a DA is additionally defined in addendum 1) in the T&C.

There is also a contact named 'registrant' that defines the official identity of the domain owner according to ICANN and/or Registry requirements.

As with all registrant data, you can edit/maintain the registrant using the Joker.com domain management.

Please note:

as of 2016-12-01, the change of a registrant (COR, owner change) of a generic top-level domain requires an extended procedure introduced by ICANN:

in general, the prior registrant and the new registrant have to confirm the change
for this, emails will be sent to both, which contain coded links to acknowledge the transaction
the designated agent (DA) is also permitted to decide upon this (pls. see above)
before the process is started, the initiator also has the option to not apply a 60-day transfer lock after the change of registrant. Otherwise, this lock will be applied by default
for Resellers, we do provide some extended IRTP-C options and tools to handle COR and secure keys
the full policy can be found here

You are obliged to enter the valid and true address and identity information for Whois data. This is a requirement of all domain registries

In case you want to assign a domain to another person (meaning, moving a domain into another Joker.com user's portfolio), please visit Joker.com and choose Domain - Change ownership or permissions.

You will also find more information about 'roles', 'permissions', and 'assignments' here.

In case you want to claim ownership of a domain for yourself, please also visit the section Domain - Change ownership or permissions.

What is an 'UDRP' Procedure?

UDRP Procedures

UDRP means Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy and is a policy that is applied to all ICANN domains and is also adopted by many other domain types (ccTLDs). You will find detailed explanations on Wikipedia as well.

When registering a domain, you have to accept this policy in order to purchase a domain. This is included in our Terms & Conditions, section 11).

The UDRP process deals with domain ownership complaints. In case the arbitrator decides that a domain is to be transferred to the complainant, this transfer must be initiated by the complainant, who became the new owner.

In case you as the complainant have been awarded the domain after a UDRP decision, please follow these steps to get access to the domain:

please create a Joker.com account, if not already available; this is free of charge and ensures the fastest handling
please provide us with the customer id of this account (please send it to udrp@joker.com)
we will then immediately transfer the domain into your Joker.com account

Please note:

The domain will be blocked for changes (status 'freeze') for the duration of the UDRP procedure. After the execution of the UDRP decision, the domain will be set to status normal again.
