Scheduled - Punktum dk is pleased to announce a new improvement to our self-service portal.

What's New?
A new Domain Transfer shortcut is now available directly from the front page of the self-service portal. Users can start the domain transfer process immediately using a secure Magic Link, making the workflow faster and more accessible.

How It Works
The user enters the .dk domain name they wish to transfer to another registrar. The registrant will receive an email with a secure login link to the transfer page, where they can retrieve the domain's authorization code (Auth-ID).

Use the Auth-ID to complete the transfer with the new registrar.

Benefits
• Faster access to domain transfers
• Improved user experience through passwordless Magic Link authentication
• Greater visibility of the transfer functionality from the portal front page

Affected Services
• Self-Service Portal Version 6.11.0

Affected Environments
https://selvbetjening.punktum.dk/
https://self-service.punktum.dk/

Expected Impact
• No downtime is expected during this maintenance window.

Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance on 16–17 June 2026: Secondary datacenter network switch replacement Jun 16, 2026 08:00 - Jun 17, 2026 16:00 CEST

Dear subscribers,

We will be performing scheduled maintenance on our secondary datacenter location, which is primarily used as a backup site while also hosting a limited number of production services.

Maintenance window:
Tuesday, 16 June 2026, 08:00 CEST – Wednesday, 17 June 2026, 16:00 CEST

During the maintenance, we will replace network switches with newer equipment. The work is planned to take place primarily during normal working hours, not during the night between 16 and 17 June.

We do not expect any network issues or service interruptions at our primary production location.

However, services hosted at the secondary datacenter may experience brief interruptions during the work. In particular, on Wednesday, 17 June 2026, the database behind the registrar sandbox environment may experience short disruptions.

We will monitor the maintenance closely and provide updates if necessary.

Best regards,
Punktum dk

Scheduled - Punktum dk is pleased to announce the availability of Registrant ID Validation Status as a new data field in WHOIS lookup responses.

This feature increases transparency by providing visibility into how a registrant's identity has been validated. The validation status is displayed directly in the WHOIS response and reflects the verification method used during the registration process.

The following validation statuses may be shown:

• ID checked by registrar – The registrar has performed an identity check.
• ID verified via electronic ID – The registrant's identity has been verified using an approved electronic identification method.
• ID verified by submission of documentation – The registrant has provided documentation that has been reviewed and approved.
• Registrant approved after a risk assessment – The registration has been approved following a risk-based review process.

This enhancement supports greater trust and transparency in the .dk domain ecosystem and is available immediately through standard WHOIS lookups.

Affected Services
• WHOIS Version 6.3.0

Affected Environments

Scheduled - Dear Subscribers

We will perform emergency maintenance on the EPP service on Thursday, June 4th, between 06:00 and 07:00 CEST.

During this maintenance window, we will update the timeout configuration on the load balancer in front of our EPP servers. The change increases the timeout from 60 seconds to 5 minutes.

The purpose of the change is to reduce the risk of client-side timeouts during longer-running EPP commands, including domain transfer operations.

We do not expect a prolonged service interruption, but brief connection interruptions or reconnects may occur during the maintenance window. If your EPP connection is interrupted, please reconnect and retry the command.

We apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause.

Best regards,
Punktum dk
