SIDN just announced that the planned migration of the .nl registry to Hello Registry will no longer take place on 1 September 2026, and will be postponed to 3 November 2026.
We recommend reviewing your implementation and preparing your systems ahead of the migration.
Realtime Register's .nl implementation for Hello Registry is already available in our OT&E environment. We recommend using this time to review the updated metadata and test your relevant workflows:
Review the .nl metadata in OT&E
The supported registration period and auto-renew grace settings can be reviewed directly in the .nl periods metadata.
We will continue preparing for the migration and will share further operational details, including information about the maintenance window, as they become available.
