Domain deletion

Domain Registrant is able to delete a domain name before the registration term expiry date. The domain name is deleted by the Registrar only upon receiving an original letter from the Registrant.

Letters

• from a legal entity
• from an individual
• from a sole trader

Documents shall be delivered to the Registrar's office or sent to our postal address: JSC "Registrar R01", 123308, Moscow, P.O. Box 99.
Please, take into consideration Rules for drawing up letters.

Domain deletion for .RU, .SU, .РФ, .MOSCOW, .МОСКВА domains is free of charge. Domain deletion fee for other TLDs can be found on the tariff page.
