First, Transfer the registration

Enter the transfer request on our website www.register.ie. Fax a letter on the headed paper of the domain owner to us stating;

"I hereby certify that (insert old admin contact's name) is no longer employed by us. I, (insert new admin contact's name) will now serve as admin contact for the domain name (insert domain name here)

As admin contact I authorize the modification of my domain name by Register.ie"
