If you can't log into your account or don't have access to the account your domain is in, you can complete a Request for Change of Account/Email Update Form to move the domain to another account. You need to complete the change form and provide identification to allow us to either move the domain or update the email address listed in the account, as follows:

  • Change form. Complete the change request form, sign it, and submit it. We recommend you scan the form and send it to us as an attachment through email.
  • Photo ID. To ensure security, provide us with a government-issued photo identification, such as a driver's license or passport.
  • Business ID. If the domain information includes a business on the customer account or as the domain registrant, you must submit current and valid business identification. We do not accept hyperlinks or documentation printed from the Internet. Valid types of company identification include: business license, tax certificate, Doing Business As documentation, Fictitious Name documentation, IRS 501(C)3 "Determined Letter", and state-issued certificate of tax exemption showing charitable status.

You can send the signed form and additional information to us by email at change@secureserver.net or by fax at 480.624.2547.

After we receive your information, it takes up to three business days for an initial response. We either inform you of what we need to process the request or let you know that your request was completed. We only send correspondence to the email address you listed on the change form.
