A change of registrant is the process of changing the domain owner, meaning the registrant details in the domain’s registration data are updated. As a result, the domain becomes formally associated with the new owner — an individual or a company.
In simple terms, it is “reassigning” a domain to a new owner. Do not confuse a change of registrant with a domain transfer: a transfer changes the registrar, while a change of registrant changes the owner. Rules, timelines, and confirmation steps depend on the domain zone and registrar/registry policies.
It is changing the domain owner in the registration data. The domain is reassigned to another person or company.
A domain transfer changes the registrar managing the domain, while the owner usually stays the same. A change of registrant changes the owner (registrant), while the registrar may remain the same.
You typically need to update registration details, complete confirmations by the current and/or new owner, and sometimes provide documents or pass additional verification steps. Exact requirements depend on the domain zone and registrar/registry policies.
