Domain Password (UDAI)
All New Zealand domains now have a unique password of letters and numbers. This password called a UDAI is required to make changes to the domain name and transfer the domain name. Should any .nz registrant of Domain Directors be unable to find the UDAI or feel your security may of been compromised, then we can generate a new UDAI for you and email it. This will by default go to admin contact listed in the .nz registry. Should the email address be incorrect that is in the WHOIS, then we will require a fax on a signed company letterhead from an authorised person within your organisation
