A Registry Key is a unique code or identifier used by some domain registries (especially for certain country-code domains like .nz for New Zealand) to:
- Authenticate domain ownership
- Authorize domain transfers between registrars
- Provide secure access to manage domain settings
How It's Used:
- Similar in purpose to an Auth Code or EPP Code
- Required when transferring a domain name to another registrar
- Issued by your current domain registrar or found in your domain control panel
Key Points:
- Used mostly for specific ccTLDs
- Ensures that only the domain owner can make major changes
- Protects against unauthorized transfers or modifications
If you're transferring your domain and are asked for a Registry Key, check with your current registrar. It's usually found alongside your domain details.
