Changing/Updating your contacts

Changing contact information or replacing administrative, technical, or invoicing contacts in your .lu domain name

Free of charge

Three different contacts are assigned to a domain name: an administrative contact, a technical contact and an invoicing contact. Each one has a different role. Their roles range from online management and classic management.

In all cases, contact information must be kept up to date in order to avoid any interruption to the proper management of a domain name. Timely notification should be provided of any change (new address, new email, new telephone number). Similarly, the registrar should be notified as soon as there is a change in any of the contacts of a domain name

Advantages

  • You update details about the administrative, technical, and invoicing contacts
  • You ensure that the information provided is accurate
  • You ensure continuity of communication between the registrar and, in some cases, .lu's registrar, and between each contact

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I find out who is the registered invoicing contact?

  • With classic management, contact the registry for a copy of the initial registration or most the recent invoice.
  • With online management, in the registration platform in the 'My domain names' category, the manager of the my.lu account can view the relevant contacts for each individual domain name.

What can I do if the invoicing contact or manager does not pay?

This may occur, particularly if contact information are not accurate or if the individual responsible for payment is unavailable. You can take some simple steps to avoid your domain name from being deleted. 

  • With classic management, you should submit a contact information update request if it is inaccurate, or replace the invoicing contact.
  • With online management, check, and if necessary, replace the account manager with any person who is able to pay via credit card.
