== How to submit registration orders ==
'''PLEASE NOTE: After March 24th, regular General Availability registrations should be submitted with the "AddDomain" command. For Grandfathering applications, "AddDomainApplication" must be used until September 20th when the Priority phase ends.'''

Supported periods:
* Priority registration with multiple potential applicants: 1 year
* Priority registration with single applicants: 1-5 years
* General availability registration: 1-5 years


=== Priority Registrations (Grandfathering) ===
To submit a registration order on behalf of a customer with a Priority right, the following additional fields should be included in the AddDomainApplication command:

* CLASS = AU_GRANDFATHERING 
* X-AU-PRIORITY-TOKEN = String (This field is optional when submitting the AddDomainApplication, and it is not required when the 3rd level domain on which the priority right is based is managed by HEXONET and by the Reseller submitting the preorder (see section âPriority Registration Tokensâ for more details). Where the 3rd level domain is managed by a different Registrar/Reseller, this field needs to be populated with the Priority Token provided by AuDA to the Registrant using the ModifyDomainApplication command before March 24th, 2022 in order for the request to be submitted to the Registry.)
* X-AU-GRANDFATHERING-TLD = <com.au|net.au|org.au|asn.au|id.au> (This is the 3rd level extension of the domain on which the priority right is based. For instance, if you are applying for mydomain.au based on mydomain.net.au, you can fill the value ânet.auâ here. It is very important that this field is filled in correctly for domains that are managed by HEXONET and the Reseller, to ensure that we can import the Priority Token correctly. This is required even in case only one 3rd level domain exists matching the string.
Resellers should take extra care in ensuring that the Registrant details of the 3rd level domain are correct and match those submitted in the AddDomainApplication for the 2nd level domain. In case the same Registrant holds the domain in multiple 3rd level extensions, it is the responsibility of the Reseller that the domain with the highest Priority right is entered here.)
* X-AU-IMPORT-TOKEN = <1|0> (optional - Default 1) (When the 3rd level domain is managed by the Reseller through HEXONET, we will automatically import the Priority Token to submit the application to the Registry. If needed, we will also populate any additional X-FLAGS required to submit the order correctly using the data from the corresponding 3rd level .au domain.In case the Reseller does not wish for the token to be imported automatically, this field can be set to 0. In this case, the X-AU-PRIORITY-TOKEN field will need to be filled in with the Priority token obtained from AuDA. In this case, we will obviously not attempt to import the token, even if the domain is with us. Furthermore, we will not attempt to populate any of the other X-FLAGS either. I.e. it is entirely up to the Reseller to ensure all the data is added correctly to the pre-order, including all the relevant X-FLAGS.
If the 3rd level domain is managed by HEXONET but on behalf of a Reseller other than the one submitting the order, this field will be ignored and the token will not be automatically imported even if the field is set to 1.)
* X-AU-REGISTRANT-ID-TYPE and X-AU-REGISTRANT-ID-NUMBER = these 2 fields need to be filled in with the same values used for the 3rd level domain on which the Priority application is based (e.g. if an ABN number was used to register the corresponding com.au domain, then the value ABN and the ABN number need to be added in these 2 fields).

AddDomainApplication command example:
<pre>
command = AddDomainApplication
class = AU_GRANDFATHERING
domain = yourDomain.au
techcontact0 = (contact)
ownercontact0 = (contact)
admincontact0 = (contact)
billingcontact0 = (contact)
period = (INT)
nameserver0 = (nameserver)
nameserver1 = (nameserver) 
X-AU-PRIORITY-TOKEN = (token) 
X-AU-GRANDFATHERING-TLD = <com.au|net.au|org.au|asn.au|id.au>
X-AU-IMPORT-TOKEN = <1|0> 
X-AU-REGISTRANT-ID-TYPE       = (TEXT)
X-AU-REGISTRANT-ID-NUMBER     = (TEXT)
</pre>


The below states (provinces) are valid for the state contact field:
* VIC - Victoria
* NSW - New South Wales
* SA - South Australia
* NT - Northern Territory
* WA - Western Australia
* TAS - Tasmania
* ACT - Australian Capital Territory
* QLD - Queensland
* JBT - Jervis Bay Territory

=== Go Live Registrations ===
To submit a Registrations order on behalf of a customer without a Priority right for a domain that is not reserved by the Registry, the following additional fields should be included in the AddDomain command:

* X-AU-REGISTRANT-ID-TYPE = (TEXT) (When the Registrant is an Australian business, accepted values here are ABN/ACN/TM. When the Registrant is a Natural person, the only accepted value here is âPRIVATEâ)
* X-AU-REGISTRANT-ID-NUMBER = (TEXT) (When the Registrant is an Australian business, this field needs to contain the ABN/ACN number of the Registrant or the TM number on which the application is based, in order to allow us to validate it before submitting the registration request to the Registry. When the Registrant is a Natural person, this field can be left blank as the Registrant validation is handled through a separate validation product (see section âValidation of Natural Persons applying to register a .AU domain nameâ above).

Please remember that in the case an applicant not based in Australia uses an Australian Trademark to establish their Australian Presence, then the domain applied for must match the Trademark.

AddDomain command is as follows:
<pre>
command = AddDomain
domain = yourdomain.au
techcontact0 = (contact)
ownercontact0 = (contact)
admincontact0 = (contact)
billingcontact0 = (contact)
period = (INT)
nameserver0 = (nameserver)
nameserver1 = (nameserver) 
X-AU-REGISTRANT-ID-TYPE       = (TEXT)
X-AU-REGISTRANT-ID-NUMBER     = (TEXT)
</pre>

=== Modifying an existing Priority Order that is in pending status ===
Priority pre-orders that were submitted with incomplete data remain in pending status until the Reseller updates them adding the necessary details. This is typically the case for applications where the 3rd level domain is managed by another Registrar and the Reseller needs to obtain the Priority token from the Registrant.

The extra fields for this command are the same as described above under AddDomainApplication. Additionally, the field âapplicationâ is required and should contain the ID of the application that the Reseller wishes to modify. This information is returned on a successful execution of the AddDomainApplication command or by querying the applications.

ModifyDomainApplication command example:

<pre>
command = ModifyDomainApplication
class = AU_GRANDFATHERING
application = <ID>
X-AU-PRIORITY-TOKEN = <token>
X-AU-IMPORT-TOKEN = <1|0>
</pre>
