Domain name deletion request

Table of contents

    This service is for permanently deleting a domain name.

    • The change request must be submitted by the Registrant Contact of the domain (refer to .au Whois lookup). An email will be sent to the contact email address which will require a reply to authorise and confirm the change.
    • Prior to proceeding:
      • please ensure that the domain, or a sub-domain of it, is not supporting active websites, redirects or email services.
      • the domain should first be decommissioned by removing any name servers that the domain is delegated to. To do so, please submit a Name server change request. The domain will then have an 'inactive' status on the .au Registry.
      • all DNS records should be removed through your Authoritative DNS service provider.
    • We will advise once the domain deletion process has been initiated. The domain will then have a 'pendingDelete' status for a few days before being permanently purged from the .au Registry.
