# Provider Change Requests

Overview

Introduction

A .de domain is administered through a registration account (RegAcc) of a DENIC member. If the domain holder wants to transfer administration from the current RegAcc to another RegAcc, they may ask their current provider to issue an AuthInfo1. Alternatively, the new (future) provider can request DENIC to issue an AuthInfo2.

You can then use this AuthInfo1or AuthInfo2 to request a provider change.

With an AuthInfo2, any other RegAcc can restore a domain that is in the Redemption Grace Period status.In this chapter, we will describe the request types you need to prepare and execute a provider change.
