Immediate Documentation Submission:
The required documentation must be sent via email within 10 days after the registration request.
Failure to submit valid documentation via fax or email will result in the domain(s) being revoked.
If any domain is revoked refunds will automatically be processed.
Validation of Required Documentation:
CNNIC will review the documents, which can take up to 15 days. CNNIC will be auditing every document
submitted.
Additional information
CNNIC reserves the right to do an audit of the supporting documentation and if the information does not
match what is listed in WHOIS, CNNIC reserves the right to suspend such registration.
Once a ‘Registrant ID’ is registered along with the supporting documentation, this Registrant ID is
considered to be ‘white listed’ by CNNIC. Future registrations under the same ‘Registrant ID’ will not
need to submit new documentation. This applies to both Company and Individual registrations. The only
documentation needed will be the Letter of Commitment for the new Registrations.
That online domain registration leaves the domain in a PENDING status until the documents listed above
are submitted and processed. If a registration is denied due to document invalidation, the ENTIRE
application processes must be followed again from the beginning. Once all validation of all
documentation is complete, the domain will change status to serverhold if the name is not recorded in
China’s MIIT ICP Recording system. In that case users should record the name with MIIT ICP Recording
system and provide the Record Number via email. We will then request the update of the status to OK.
Rejected registration attempts
If the required documents are not complete or contain errors or if the applying registrant does not fulfil the
registry's requirements the registry may reject the registration. Unfortunately, they do not automatically provide a
reason for the rejection to the registrar. In case you need to know the exact reasons for a rejection please
contact our support. We will then contact the registry and ask for the reasons for the rejection. Please consider
that this may take up to 7 working days.
