# designated agent

A person or company that a registrant has clearly allowed to approve a change of registrant in its place. Many registrars name themselves as designated agent in their terms, so they can confirm such changes without asking the old and new registrant each time. Changes adopted in June 2026, not yet in force, drop the role from the future policy on changes of registrant data.
