Do dot-ca registrants have portability of their domain name registrations between CIRA certified registrars?
• Yes. When a registrant changes its registrar, its registration period for a domain name registration will not be changed or lost. Under CIRA’s rules, a registrant is permitted to change its registrar of record at any time. CIRA will charge the new registrar a fee pursuant to the Fee Schedule for a change of registrar. The old registrar is permitted to charge the registrant an administrative fee, which cannot exceed $20.00 irrespective of the number of registrations. Registrars are required to enter into an agreement with each registrant. However, no such agreement shall contain any terms that prevent a registrant from changing registrars at any time.
