Required Documents for All Registrars

Name Store Merchant Agreement (PDF)

Name Store Activation Agreement
To obtain the Name Store Activation Agreement, contact your VeriSign Account Manager or send email to VeriSign Customer Affairs Office, cao@verisign.com.

If you are not either a .com, .net, .tv, or .cc registrar and have not completed the Become a Registrar process, the following requirements must be met:

Data Information Form (Required)
Please complete the Name Store Merchant Data Information Form (PDF). You will need the following technical information: Web server name, Whois server name, SSL Common Name, and no more than three subnets in Classless Inter-Domain Routing Protocol (CIDR) format, up to a total of 96 hosts (/26 = 64 hosts, /27 = 32 hosts, /28 = 16 hosts, /29 = 8 hosts, /30 = 4 hosts, /31 = 2 hosts, /32 = 1 host).

Fax Authorization Forms (Optional)
Please complete and return the Fax Authorization Form (PDF) to receive user IDs and passwords via fax. An original signature is required.

Financial Requirements

Existing .com, .net registrars have already established a financial account with VeriSign and may use their existing payment security account to support Name Store transactions. If you expect a considerable increase in your monthly transaction volume, you should re-evaluate the amount of your payment security and adjust it accordingly. New registrars must complete a credit application and establish a payment security.

NOTE: You may start this process before you receive your user IDs and passwords.

Please complete the Registrar Credit Application (PDF) with an original signature and mail it to:

VeriSign, Inc.
Attention: Customer Affairs Office
21345 Ridgetop Circle, 4th Floor
Dulles, VA 20166
USA

VeriSign requires registrars to establish a payment security to secure each month’s registrations. To estimate your payment security, calculate:
.jobs registrations x duration (1 to 10 years) x $95 = Minimum Payment Security
Registrars are required to increase the payment security when registration levels repeatedly exceed the current payment security.

The payment security is held without action unless invoices are not paid in accordance with the terms of the Registry-Registrar Agreements. Acceptable payment security vehicles include: cash deposit, an irrevocable standby letter of credit from a bank, or a payment security bond (PDF) from an approved surety or bank.

Remit payment to:
VeriSign, Inc.
PO Box #404326
Atlanta, GA 30384-4326
USA

Overnight Packages:
VeriSign, Inc.
Lockbox #404326
6000 Feldwood Road
College Park, GA 30349
USA

To wire payment to VeriSign, contact the Customer Affairs Office, cao@verisign-grs.com.

Technical Requirements

Registrars must demonstrate full and correct operation of client systems within the Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) environment before connecting to the Shared Registration System (SRS). You may begin development of your client applications before you receive your user IDs and passwords, but you will not be able to complete it until VeriSign has established your account.

VeriSign requires that each server that communicates with the SRS has a 40- or 128-bit SSL Certificate installed. You may obtain pre-approved SSL Certificates from VeriSign or thawte.

To develop the client end to the SRS, you must access EPP software. VeriSign has developed EPP SDKs and guides to help you develop your client application.

If you choose to develop your own EPP implementation, it must be based on RFC-2832, the published protocol specification. You will need to acquire and incorporate an implementation of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol into their EPP software. You will also need to secure a license for the use of RSA cryptographic algorithms through RSA Data Security, Inc.

You will receive your user IDs and passwords to the OT&E environment when VeriSign has established your account. Your informational packet will include testing information to complete this process. When you are ready to demonstrate technical operation and qualify for access to the production SRS, contact VeriSign Customer Affairs Office. For assistance with testing, contact Customer Support.
