Transfers and updating Service Providers for .br domains

Customers using Trustee: You do not need to take any action if you opted in to use our Trustee service.

Existing .br domain customers: You must update the Service Provider, and transfer ownership on your existing .br domains to GoDaddy in order to purchase any new .br domain names and/or manage your .br domains and websites through us.

New .br domain customers: You will need to purchase a Transfer-in product first. Then, you must manually update the Service Provider, and transfer ownership to GoDaddy

Change Service Provider to GoDaddy

Why do I need to update the Service Provider to be GoDaddy?

We now have a direct relationship with the .br Registry, that enables us to offer longer registration terms (up to 10 years), and lower domain renewal fees. Prior to this integration, we were working with an intermediary to register and manage your .br domains.

As a result of this, the .br Registry requires that you update the Service Provider associated with your CNPJ/CPF ID to be GoDaddy. This needs to be done only once for you to take benefit of the longer registration terms, and lower domain renewal fees for all your domains.

Note: If your domain is renewing within the next two months, or if you need to redeem an expired domain, we suggest you first renew (or redeem) your domain, and then update the Service Provider setting. This will help reduce changes of your domain being impacted due to any delays in communication between the registry and us.
