You must delete any shared users, as well as any users that should no longer have admin rights to the registrar web.

The user with user name admin will be removed from the production system and the test system as soon as the new agreement becomes effective for you. -

The person you registered as your primary contact must complete and pass the registrar test.
When your primary contact has completed the test, we will review it to check if the test was passed. In the test it is explained how you inform us that the test has been completed.

As soon as you have passed the test and added all necessary information on the registrar web, Norid will sign the registrar agreement.
You will receive an email to let you know that the new registrar agreement is in effect. You will also be added to a list of all registrars that have signed the new registrar agreement.
What happens if the new agreement is not in effect for you by the deadline?
If the new agreement between you and Norid has not become operative by 18 August 2021, you are no longer a registrar for Norid, and you will lose access to Norid's systems (EPP, registrar web and registrar whois). If you have not accepted the new terms by 18 August 2021, the current agreement and the contractual relationship is considered terminated, please see the current Registrar agreement, article 5, third paragraph.
If you lose access to our systems it means that you no can longer register, update, renew, delete or move contacts and domain names.
If you are still the registrar for any domain names, these will be moved to REG0. This means that the domain names no longer have a registrar. When this happens the holders will be notified and asked to find a new registrar.
If you have any money left on your balance, it will be transferred to the bank account number registered on the registrar web under the tab Accounting.
How to terminate the current agreement before the deadline
If you already know that you do not want to continue as a registrar, you can send us a termination of the agreement.
If you want to cooperate with another registrar or need to find a new registrar for your domain portefolio, you can find one on the list of registrars that have entered into the new agreement.
