Authorization Code (Authinfo) for .eu domains

Authorization Code for a .EU domain name has the format XXXX-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC where:

  • XXXX is a plain-text identifier of the current Registrar, and
  • AAAA, BBBB and CCCC are blocks of 4 random characters (letters and digits) separated by dashes.

The Authorization Code is generated upon request from the Registrar and is valid for a period of 40 days. 

To generate the new code:

  1. unlock your .eu domain
  2. wait few minutes
  3. ask for the auhinfo sending
If your domain is in "unlock" mode: lock it, wait for few hours, and then go on as previously explained.
