It is recommended that the registrant creates an account user if they do not yet have access to this area. For instructions on creating an account user with DnsPt, go to the Create DnsPt reserved area account user section of this knowledge base article.

Important:

After a domain is successfully created and the registry suspects incorrect registrant details have been used during a create, the registrant will receive an email from request@dns.pt with instructions to provide documentation to verify their identity.

If the registrant does not provide supporting documentation within 2 days of receiving the email, the domain will be deleted by the registry without exception.
