Legacy SRS Registry Platform

The documentation provided here relates to the .nz SRS platform, initially developed in 2002 and expected to be in use until late 2022.

As part of our operations for .nz we provide EPP Protocol, SRS Protocol and Whois Protocol access for the management of domain names by authorised registrars.

In addition to this we also provide other services such as the Registrar Portal and REST API
