For .SU, .NET.RU, .ORG.RU, and .PP.RU domains
A domain transfer request to RU-CENTER can be made either by the Registrant or the owner of the administrative contract. You can create a request in your profile in the “Operations → Domain Transfer” section.
For .ru and .рф TLDs, gTLDs, and ccTLDs
Registrar change for .ru and .рф TLDs, gTLDs, and ccTLDs is paid. If you work under an administrative contract, then the payment must be initiated by the owner of the administrative contract.
To pay for the Registrar Change service, the owner of the administrative contract must make an advance payment to Rucenter’s account and agree to write off funds from its Personal Account for the Registrant Change service on its profile page in the “Operations → Domain Transfer” section.
Transfer of gTLDs and ccTLDs to Rucenter under an administrative contract
- Registrant must:
- check domain status using Whois service. If domain has a clientTransferProhibited status, it will be required to contact the current registrar to unlock registrar change.

- fill in the customer form in the “Operations → Form Registration” section;
