As a rule, clients shall have a notarized power of attorney attached to the filled letter forms from the registrant for domains ownership transfer, domain sponsorship transfer to another Registrar and registration cancellation.
A power of attorney is not required in the following cases:
- If letters are personally brought to the office by a Registrant having a passport about him/her;
- If a Registrant is a non-resident (non-residents should attach a passport copy to the letter);
- If domain sponsorship is transferred to Rucenter from another registrar (with no ownership transfer);
- In other client-specific cases.
Powers of attorney are issued in Russian only, whereas they are used for RF residents making ownership transfers and certified by Russian notary officers.
A sample form of the power of attorney issued for Rucenter employee
(for the cases when documents are posted or delivered by courier):
- for domain ownership transfer (doc)
- for domain sponsorship transfer to another registrar (doc)
- for registration cancellation (rtf)
Power of attorney shall specify second-level domain name without www.
A power of attorney may be issued for the person other than Rucenter employee, but for the transferor's representative. In this case this representative shall personally visit Rucenter office with the passport. The sample form of the power of attorney is similar to that issued for the Rucenter employee.
Domain ownership may not be transferred by letter signed by the registrant's representative based on a power of attorney, if this domain is transferred to this representative or another person he/she represents. (part 3 art. 182 of RF Civil Code).
