.ru Domain Transfer

If the domain to be transferred is registered using a RU-Center partner:

Insert a domain transfer order on DomainRegister.international
(if you're asked for an authinfo, enter whatever string of characters you like: i.e. ABCDEFGHIKLM)
Log-in to your client area on Nic.Ru, and set for the domain the following partner ID: 16824/NIC-REG
Usually, the transfer completes successfully in a few hours.
If the domain has not been transferred successfully within 14 days, the transfer request will be canceled.
