Requirements
- You can request a CHPROV only for domains which are administered by another RegAcc or the domains has been deletedand has the the „redemptionPeriod“ status. In this case, the domain is restored through a CHPROV with AuthInfo2 for the RegAcc that has submitted the request.
- Note that you can use only Contact handles of the requesting RegAcc in CHPROV requests. The handles must exist and fulfil the applicable conditions.
- The AuthInfo transferred with the CHPROV request must be identical with an AuthInfo1 or AuthInfo2 stored in DENIC's database.

- The provider change shall be combined with a holder change, but the domain is bearing a DISPUTE entry.
Features
- A CHPROV may be combined with a holder change.
- If a CHPROV is executed by using an AuthInfo1, the existing AuthInfo1 will be deleted upon execution of the request; a possibly existing AuthInfo2 will be maintained if the Domainholder remains unchanged.
- If a CHPROV is executed by using an AuthInfo2, the Authinfo2 as well as any possibly existing AuthInfo1 will be deleted.
- If a DISPUTE has been placed on the domain concerned, a CHPROV request cannot be combined with a holder change.
- Domains can be restored from the Redemption Grace Period by means of a CHPROV with AuthInfo2.
