As of 2016, the .ES domain registrants must provide a registrant contact email. If you haven't provided this information, you need to do so at the current registrar before you transfer your domain to Route 53.

You will need the following information:

  • ESNIC identifier similar to AAAA0-ESNIC-F0.

  • If you don't know your ESNIC identifier, you can get it from the current registrar. You can find your registrar at: https://www.dominios.es/en.

Depending on whether you remember your password at the registrar, or not, you can follow one of the following procedures to update your registrant email:

  • If you remember you password, sign in at https://www.nic.es/sgnd/login.action by using you ESNIC identifies and password.

    After you have signed in, you can edit the registrant email contact by choosing the Edit tab on the registry page.

  • If you forgot your password, browse to https://www.nic.es/sgnd/peticion/editCorreo.action?request_locale=en.

    Fill out the form with your ESNIC identifier, your new and valid registrant email contact. Then, validate the form by choosing Processing without eID/Certificate, and upload the requested identity document.
