.JP Domain Names


This article explains the requirements and special procedures for .JP domain names.

Renewing a .JP domain

Auto-renewal only

This TLD doesn’t support manual renewals. To successfully renew the domain, the auto-renewal feature must be enabled, as explained in the Domain Auto-Renewal article.

If auto-renewal is not enabled, the domain will be scheduled for removal 16 days before the expiration. The registrar can deactivate it at any point during this period (even before the expiration date). You may be able to restore the domain before final deletion, but the registry will charge a redemption fee.

Transferring a .JP domain away from DNSimple

Transfers are not possible if the domain is expiring within the next 30 days.

After a successful transfer, a 60-day transfer lock will be set from the Registry.
