Changing the business or ABN on a .com.au domain
A .com.au domain must be held by an Australian business or organisation, and is linked to an ABN, ACN or registered business name. If your business changes structure, name or ABN, the domain's registrant details need updating.
When you need this
- you've changed from a sole trader to a company (new ABN or ACN)
- you've sold or bought the business
- the domain is in a former owner's or staff member's name
How it works
- We start a registrant change (change of ownership) with the registrar.
- An approval email goes to the current registrant contact. It must be approved, or it'll be rejected.
- The new holder's ABN or ACN details are checked against the eligibility rules.
What to send us
- the domain name
- the new legal entity name and ABN or ACN
- who should receive the approval email
- whether the old holder is aware (needed for a sale)
There's usually a fee for a registrant change. We'll confirm the cost before we start.
