Important changes for .cn domain registrations

We have been notified by CNNIC, the .cn authoritative body, that effective 14 December 2009 they have implemented new policies in relation to the registration of .cn domain names.

Effective immediately, all new .cn registrations now require supporting documentation to be sent to CNNIC for auditing. We are advised that this process will take up to 3 days for each registration.

1. For all new registrations, if the required documentation is not submitted 3 days after the online application, or the supporting documentation does not pass the audit, then the application will be deleted and a credit issued.

2. If an application is deleted due to supporting documentation not being provided or not passing audit, the name will have to be registered again and registrants will need to re-submit all the appropriate and corrected supporting documentation again.

3. Required documentation for ALL applications must include:

a) The “domain name registration application form”, with the seal of the business OR signature of a representative from the business

b) A photocopy of the business license. Business license means the official document of the business, company or organization (such as company or organization registration).

c) A photocopy of the applicant’s personal ID. Acceptable personal ID may include copies of a driver’s license, passport, resident card/ID

4. Renewals of .cn domains remain unchanged and are not affected with this new process.

Note: Please send these forms when completed to DistributeIT via email (support@distributeit.com.au) or fax (03 9602 1530).
