Berechtigung & Einschränkungen

Registrierung

No minimum specified; tacit/automatic renewal. Maximum 10 years at some registrars.

Transferverfahren

Manual transfer process. No auth code used by this registry.

No auth code for .LU transfer. This is frequently misunderstood. Transfer initiated entirely via email confirmation sent by RESTENA to admin contact.

📘 ICANN Transfer Policy (IRTP) — See ICANN Transfer Policy for the full IRTP framework, auth code rules, 60-day lock periods, and TEAC.

Inhaberwechsel

Trade (owner change) also requires admin contact email approval. Same process as registrar transfer. Both new owner and current owner must confirm.

📘 ICANN OwnerChange (COR) — See ICANN OwnerChange for COR triggers, FOA/DA modes, 60-day lock, and opt-out.

Verlängerung & Löschung

Domains tacitly renewed. No action required to renew. Registrar must actively request removal before expiry if not renewing.

📘 ICANN ERRP — See ICANN ERRP for the standard gTLD expiry lifecycle (Auto-Renew Grace → RGP → Pending Delete → Released).

Wiederherstellung / RGP

30-day quarantine period after deletion/expiry. Only former owner can restore during quarantine. After 30 days, new registrant can register.

📘 ICANN ERRP — See ICANN ERRP for RGP details and standard restore fees.

WHOIS / Datenschutz

Hides all personal info except country of residence. Legal persons (companies): data public. IDN supported.

📘 ICANN Registration Data Policy — See Registration Data Policy for RDP 2025, RDAP, redaction defaults, and privacy/proxy rules.

📘 NIS2 Compliance — See NIS2 Compliance for Article 28 requirements, registry implementation status, and operational impact.
