How to register/ transfer in a gov.uk domain
If you are interested in registering a brand new gov.uk domain name, or would like to transfer one to 20i from another provider, you will need to raise a support ticket with our support team. We will then ask you to complete and submit a registration form, or provide any documentation required for the registration/ transfer of your domain name.
Once the aforementioned has been filled in, a further requirement is that you/the governmental body need to provide us with scanned headed paper declaring that this is okay to do/register.
