DOMAIN PRICING...

This extension is chargeable upon transfer and will be renewed for a period of 1 year during transfer process.
Registry restrictions prevent these extensions from being transferred during 60 days of the initial registration or last renewed.

The transfer of .AU extensions is chargeable upon transfer within 90 days of expiry and will be renewed for a period of 2 years during transfer process.
Outside of the 90 day period the transfer is free of charge and no renewal will be performed.

When a domain name is registered, some information (such as personal/business) is displayed on the whois lookup as per regulatory requirements. Depending on the domain name extension, different types of information is displayed to those conducting a lookup.
ID Protection allows you to protect your identity and reduce spam from scammers scraping whois databases; it does this by replacing your information with generic name and address details.

ID Protection is available on gTLD registrations. .com, .net, .org, .info & .biz.
Unfortunately not .AU namespace policy does not permit ID protection on .AU domain names. Although this isn’t too much of a concern as very little information is shown. On a standard whois search only the Registrant/Entity data is shown (including ABN/ACN/Trademark/etc) along with the name of the person who is the registrant and technical contacts. No phone number or postal address details are shown on any whois search. The only time an email address is shown on a .AU domain name whois is when the search is conducted via the AusRegistry website and this is protected by a captcha.

When transferring a domain name between registrars, you may be required to provide a domain name password (sometimes called EPP code or AuthInfo).

Depending on which registrar your domain is registered through and what type of domain you have, the steps to obtain your domains authorisation code may differ.
