1. Application for Change
To change the domain name, organization name, and organization
description after registration of a JP domain name, an application for
change need be submitted. The procedure for changing the domain name
is shown in section 2, and the procedure for changing the organization
name and organization description is shown in section 3.
For changing other registration information, the technical contact
should do it by referring to "How to enter JPNIC registration form."
2. Application for Change of Domain Name
An application for change of a domain name is made by submitting the
"Domain Name Changing Application." In case of a change application
by E-mail, enter the domain name currently being used and the desired
new domain name in the column of Subject: as shown in the example below,
and send it to: apply@domain.nic.ad.jp
Subject: Change: XXXX.YY.JP -> AAAAA.BB.JP
(current) (desired new)
In case of mailing, write "domain name application form enclosed" on
the surface of envelope by red pen, enclose a self-addressed, stamped
return envelope and send it to the following address by mail.
The return envelope would be used for sending notification.
Japan Network Information Center
Mansui Bldg. 3F, 2-9-18, Kanda-Surugadai,
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101, Japan
It takes time for an application by mail to be input to the machine,
therefore, take notice that it may take some days more than an
application by E-mail.
2-0. Handling of Application Form
When an application is accepted, the organization entered on the
application form and the registered domain name are registered in the
JPNIC database.
It should be permitted that JPNIC can publish the registered information.
JPNIC registers the domain information and each personal information
in the JPNIC database when a domain name is registered.
For changing the personal information such as the administrative
contact after registration, each one should update data to the JPNIC
database. As for update method, refer to "How to enter the JPNIC
registration form."
It should be noted sufficiently that application cannot be accepted
if there is an omission or unclear entry on the application form.
In addition, if a false entry concerning an application or a false
application is found, JPNIC invalidates an application being in progress,
and JPNIC can immediately cancel the registration of a domain name which
was already registered.
2-1. Accepting Change Application and Notification for the Change
JPNIC registers a domain name within 10 days* after accepting an
application form and notifies it to the technical contact, as far as
the domain name applied does not agree with a domain name that already
exists and the attribute of the domain name is consistent with
"2.Definition of JP domain name" and "3.Definition of attribute" of
"Application for JP Domain Name."
However, the registration procedure may be delayed by such reason that
an examination for domain name attribute is needed and so forth in JPNIC.
In that case, JPNIC contacts the technical contact for the situations
within 10 days*. In examination, the technical contact who made
application may be asked to submit document describing the reason for
selecting the domain name. When the new domain name is registered as
a result of examination, JPNIC sends a domain name change notification.
If the new domain name is not registered as a result of examination,
JPNIC notifies the result to the technical contact.
2-2. Confirmation of Change and Deletion of Old Domain Name
JPNIC confirms the change at the change confirmation date entered on
the domain name change notification. In case the new domain name has
been registered in the name server of JPNIC at this stage, the change
is regarded as being established, and if not registered, the change is
regarded as not being established.
The date of confirmation of change is about three months after the
date on which the new domain name was registered.
When the change is established:
After three months from the date on which the change was confirmed,
the domain name before the change is deleted and invalidated, and it
cannot be re-registered for a year from the date entered on the domain
name change notification. (That is, both the new and old domain names
are registered in the name server of JPNIC for three months from the
date on which the change was confirmed.)
When the change is not established:
The domain name is regarded as not being changed, and the application
is canceled.
The organization domain name cannot be changed for a year after the
registration of the new domain name.
2-3. When Change is Desired by an Unconnected Domain
When a domain which was not once connected to the network desires
change of its domain name, conduct instantaneous deletion of domain name
+ new application procedure, instead of the change application procedure.
In this case, it should be noted that the abolished domain name can be
registered immediately.
2-4. Precautions for Writing the Change Application Form
-Be sure to type the application form for mailing.
-Application forms are processed mechanically except for some cases.
Comments, etc. written in other than remarks columns are always ignored.
Especially, there are many examples of writing messages immediately
before the application form, however, be sure to write comments in
the remarks columns.
-Enter the contents applicable to the item after ] (end bracket) of
the item. If the subject to be entered cannot be included in a line,
write it in the next line successively. In the succeeding line, do
not write the item (such as [Address]) but put one or more TAB or space
at the beginning of the line.
-A line ending with : (colon) is not an entry column.
-Do not change the item name or item sequences. As far as possible,
get "4. domain name change application form" in this file and use it

-Items for which "can be omitted" is written in the description of each
item below can be omitted. To omit entry, nothing should be entered
in the entry column. Be sure to enter items for which "can be omitted"
