1. Blank fields are not included (they are shown in this example for illustrative purposes only).
2. There are a number of possible values for the registration status.
3. The PGP signature will differ for each message.
4. The subject is "TAG Receive Request".
5. The domain names all appear on a single account. Only the account details and main administrative address appear.
6. The Nominet public key is available for download.
7. The format of the list of domain names is described more fully here.

Part of the authorisation request includes templates for the reply. To accept the registrar transfer, reply to the message with just the first template:

To reject the registrar transfer, reply to the message with the second template

case-id:
reject

Registrar transfer authorisation requests not responded to within 5 days are treated as if they have been rejected.
