Depends on your registrar actually. Some of them will let you do that from your Admin panel, and others want you to fax them copies of your passports and get forms notarized. I'd check the documentation at your registrar first.

I'd just add that pretty much all of the *good* registrars these days allow you to do it via an online admin panel. (Or they'll do it for you via their CS reps.)

If you gotta jump through hoops to change that sort of info, change registrars. There's no reason any more to not get bad service with your domain. The days of high cost and bad service are gone, thankfully.

I agree with caveman. There's nothing logical to prevent you from changing any of your domain info.

from my personal name to my companies name

As you're saying "company" rather than "corporation", is your domain a .co.uk? For .co.uk's it's an archaic paper-based process that costs 30 pounds (plus VAT).

But as others have said, for .com's your registrar should have a control panel that allows you to change all thr contact info for free at any time.
