.ru (Russian Federation)
Important
You can no longer use Route 53 to register new .ru domains, transfer .ru domains to Route 53, or renew existing .ru domains with Route 53. If you have existing .ru domains with Route 53, transfer them to a registrar that supports .ru immediately to avoid any service disruption.
- Lease period for registration and renewal
-
One year.
Note
The registry for .ru domains updates the expiration date for a domain on the day that the domain expires. WHOIS queries will show the old expiration date for the domain until that date regardless of when you renew the domain with Route 53.
- Restrictions
-
Open to the public, with some restrictions:
-
Individuals might need to provide a passport number or government-issued ID number.
-
Foreign companies might need to provide a company ID or company registration.
-
- Privacy protection

- Domain locking to prevent unauthorized transfers
-
Not supported. We recommend that you prevent unauthorized transfers by restricting access to the RetrieveDomainAuthCode API action. (When you restrict access to this Route 53 API, you also restrict who can generate an authorization code using the Route 53 console, AWS SDKs, and other programmatic methods.) For more information, see Identity and access management in Amazon Route 53.
- Internationalized domain names
-
Not supported.
- Authorization code required for transfers

- Deadlines for renewing and restoring domains
-
Not supported. You can no longer renew or restore .ru domains with Route 53.
- Deletion of domain registration
-
The registry for .ru domains doesn't allow you to delete domain registrations. Instead, you must disable automatic renewal and wait for the domain to expire. For more information, see Deleting a domain name registration.
