Database clean-up process


Red.es, the registry for the Spanish .es TLD, have established a database clean-up process in cooperation with the National Cybersecurity Institute of Spain (INCIBE).

INCIBE is carrying out specific analyses for all registered .es domain names in order to identify those with reasonable indications regarding inaccurate or false information in the domain owner identifier data such as the VAT ID. INCIBE provides the registry with lists of such conspicuous .es domains. Red.es checks the reports and if there is verified evidence, the clean-up process for the affected .es domain will be initiated consisting of these phases:

  • Initial e-mail notification to the registrar, domain owner and admin contact informing that deficiencies have been found in the registration data of the domain name and granting a period of 3 calendar days to make the necessary corrections. The registry intends to send the clean-up process notices during the first weekdays.
  • If no corrections are made within the time allowed, the three-step Special Cancellation Procedure will be initiated

    1. sending a reminder to the registrant with the request to correct the data,
    2. deactivation of the .es domain in the DNS (after 10 days),
    3. deletion of the .es domain (after 20 more days).

    It is still possible to correct the data during the cancellation procedure.

    • To redeem the login credentials please see above.

    • Press "Tramitación sin DNIe/Certificado (Debe adjuntar fotocopia de su documento de identidad)"

With the exception of "Accredited Registrar" which must be set to "KEY-SYSTEMS", please do not change anything else as this may cause un-synchronicity to the RRPproxy system.
    • After you have chosen "KEY-SYSTEMS" as registrar please click "Next".
    • Once the document has been signed a screen will appear showing a summary of the request and there will be a change of status.
