How can a registrar stop managing a domain name?

In the NIC.LV Customer Online System, renewal is enabled by default for each domain name.

If the registrar does not wish to continue managing a domain name, it must disable renewal for that domain name in the “My Domain Names” section of the NIC.LV Customer Online System. This must be done for each domain name whose management the registrar wishes to discontinue.

The choice not to renew can be made and changed until the last day of the month in which the paid period of use expires. If the domain name is not renewed, it remains under the registrar’s management until it is deleted.

If a domain name is in the transition or hold period, the registrar can restore it once before it is deleted. The restoration fee will be included in the next invoice. After restoration, the registrar cannot cancel the domain name until the renewal fee has been paid.

The registrar can also stop managing a domain name by selecting “Refuse registrar role” in the NIC.LV Customer Online System. In this case, the domain name is transferred to NIC.LV management, and the registrar can no longer restore it.

If a domain name has just been registered and the registration fee has not yet been paid, it can only be cancelled after the invoice has been paid.

Transfer of a domain name to another registrar

A domain name can be transferred to another registrar at any time, except when:

• the domain name has just been registered and the registration fee has not yet been paid. In this case, the transfer is possible after the invoice has been paid;
  
• the domain name is subject to a restriction imposed by a competent authority or as part of a specific procedure, for example, a court order or an alternative dispute resolution procedure.
  

If the registrant wishes to transfer management of the domain name to another registrar, the new registrar initiates the transfer procedure at the registrant’s request. The current registrar approves the transfer without delay, but no later than within two working days, unless it has valid objections to the transfer.
