CNNIC logoResponding to some .cn domain holder’s complaints regarding the difficulty in transferring domain names, China Internet Network Information Center issued a circular to each registrar clarifying that transfers are free.

Domain holders can freely alter the registrant details providing the domain name was initially registered more than 60 days ago and it is 15 days before the registration expires.

CNNIC also made it clear domain holders should not have to pay a fee for any such amendments.

Once any amendment to registration information is completed, the registrar is obliged to forward a transfer password within three working days after receiving the application to change the details. Once any changes are completed, the new holder of the domain name shall pay one year’s registration, extending the registration of the domain name by one year.

More information on registering .cn domain names is available from cnnic.cn.
