On December 1, 2013, the INTA Bulletin reported that the Network Information Center Argentina
(NIC-Argentina) decided to extend the automatic domain name renewal period until December 31,
2013. Pursuant to the new system adopted by NIC-Argentina, only registered users would beallowed
to proceed with the renewal after that date.
Recently, NIC-Argentina reported on its website that it will be possible to request a one-time 30-day
extension of the deadline to renew domain names. The reasoning behind this new extension is to
allow more time to validate the registrant's data, which is necessary to finalize registration.
To request such extension, the applicant must fill out an online form for each domain name. NICArgentina will grant the extension provided the domain name has an associated DNS, no extension
requests have been previously filed and the deadline falls within 30 days of the application for the
extension.
