If you have opted to operate handshakes for new customers, then when domain names are transferred from one account to a new one on your tag, you will receive one of the following authorisation requests.

Notes:

1. Blank fields are not included (they are shown in this example for illustrative purposes only).
2. There are a number of possible values for the registration status.
3. The PGP signature will differ for each message.
4. The subject is "TAG RT Receive Request".
5. The domain names all appear on a single account. Only the account details and main administrative address appear.
6. The Nominet public key is available for download.
7. The format of the list of domain names is described more fully here.

Part of the authorisation request includes templates for the reply. To accept the registrant transfer, reply to the message with just the first template:

accept

To reject the registrant transfer, reply to the message with the second template

case-id:
reject

Registrant transfer authorisation requests not responded to within 5 days are treated as if they have been rejected.
