Person-handles

Here you have the possibility to send an online-form for the modification or creation of a person-handle.

Please note, that you cannot change a handle which is maintained by a registrar. Please contact your ISP in this case.

What is a NICAT-handle and what is it used for?: A handle is a number code which refers to a specific person and his data. Instead of entering the person and data for each entry, it is sufficient to enter the corresponding number/handle. Handles are basically used for the specification of a domain's contact persons (admin-c, tech-c, zone-c).
A NICAT-handle consists of two to four letters, followed by numbers and –NICAT. The initial letters are usually the initials of the person.
In which domains is my NICAT-handle specified?: Due to data protection, nic.at must not allow queries on domains linked with a certain handle.
Where can I find data (e.g. address) of my handle?: You can find data of handles and contact persons on the nic.at homepage (category: search).
