How to Carry Out a Provider Change with AuthInfo

To start a provider change, the domain holder communicates the AuthInfo to their new provider. The provider verifies if an AuthInfo has been recorded for the domain concerned. If this is the case, the provider sends a provider change request with the AuthInfo to DENIC.When DENIC receives the provider change request, it checks if a valid AuthInfo has been stored. If an AuthInfo exists, DENIC compares the hash of the transmitted AuthInfo with the value stored in its database. If the two are identical, the provider change is carried out immediately and the AuthInfo used for it is deleted. If the password is invalid, the provider change is rejected and the new provider is informed accordingly. If no AuthInfo is stored for the domain, the domain holder must contact their previous provider to clarify why no AuthInfo has been stored.By the way, when you use an AuthInfo you also have the possibility to conduct a holder change together with the provider change. This option is not available, however, if provisions to the contrary, such as an active DISPUTE, apply.The illustration following below shows the individual steps that must be carried out to change providers:
