For domain names allocated with a document, a change of owner can be made. The transfer and sale of domain names are prohibited in accordance with TRABIS rules, except in the following cases.

1. If the domain name in question was allocated with a “trademark application certificate or trademark registration certificate” at the time of registration and this trademark is transferred to a person or organization other than the current person or organization, the owner information can be changed. The factor to be considered in the change of domain name owner to be made by trademark transfer is the trademark application number. For example, if the domain name application was allocated with the trademark application number yyyy/xxx, in order to update the owner information, this trademark with the number yyyy/xxx must have been transferred to the company to be transferred. In this case, you must submit the trademark transfer certificate to the TPI.
2. If the registered organization that appeared as the owner on the date the domain name was allocated has been closed and “a new organization has been opened with the same owner or owners”, the owner information can be changed. In this case, you must submit a copy of the Turkish Trade Registry Gazette showing the title change.
3. On the date the domain name is allocated, if the organization registered as the owner “has a change of title”, the owner information can be changed. In this case, you must submit a copy of the Turkish Trade Registry Gazette showing the change of title.
4. If a domain name registered with the naming right of a foreign company or brand has been transferred to a Turkish company with a distributorship certificate and this situation has changed later, the owner information may change. In this case, you must submit the current distributorship certificate and authorization letter.
