Domain General: Registering a domain with someone else as the owner

In topic: Registering a domain with someone else as the owner

You should be logged in to post new messages. Create an account.

We do web site development for folks. If they want us to register a
domain for them, we make sure they get a new handle at the registrar as
the owner of the domain. We'll set folks here as the Admin, Tech, and
Billing contacts for the new domain. So:

example.com:
owner:  CUSTOMER01-GANDI
admin: SOMEONE01-GANDI
tech: SOMEONE02-GANDI
billing: SOMEONE03-GANDI

If we want to register another domain for them, and we log using one of
our handles, we end up as the owner of the domain.

We could get or keep copies of the customer's credentials, and
impersonate them to create the domain, but that approach has a number
of problems.

We would rather not set up a new handle for them each time and we do not
want to go through the "new owner" process to change the owner after the
domain is created.

Am I missing some obvious step here? Can someone tell me the right way
to assign the owner handle to another account during registration?
