You will then be taken to the form that contains your personal information. 


When updating your information, and to avoid errors, or future problems, please:
    * **include correct and valid information** (this is required by our sales conditions),
    * **use the correct telephone number format** (ex. +1.1231231234 for the USA),
    * **verify that your e-mail address is current, and that you are unlikely to lose access to it** (all Gandi notices are sent to the address provided).



===== What can't be changed =====


  * You cannot edit the **personal name** associated with an individual-type or  the **company name** on a company-type handle. These require an owner change.
  * You cannot change the name of the **contact person** if the handle is the owner of a .be or .eu domain name, in which case you need to contact support.)
