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

How to benefit?

As a holder, or a holder's representative, you can, if needed, contact the registrar beforehand in order to obtain the contact details for your domain name.

The contact details are changed through the "Application and modification form for a domain name under .lu" document.

In 'PART 1: Request' select the options ‘Modify technical or administrative data of an existing domain name’ and 'Update of holder or contact details'. 

update contact information in the form

Fill in with the updated information and then sign the whole form, along with its amendment.

Attention! If the change concerns the administrative contact, a signatory to the aforementioned form, their replacement must be confirmed in writing - and as a hard copy - by the holder.  

Send the duly completed documents via email to info@my.lu or by post. If applicable, attach a 'Power of Attorney'.

Additional information

  • Before being designated as a 'contact', relevant parties involved in the management of the domain name must have been notified in advance and apprised of their role. The administrative contact must, moreover, have a power of attorney from the holder for the purposes of the management of the domain name.

  • The same person involved in the management of the domain name can be the administrative and / or the technical and / or the invoicing contact.

  • Contact information are categorised as personal data and therefore subject to French law on data protection and to the General Regulations on Data Protection (GRDP).

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.
