I actually like a bit of beaurocracy when it comes to anything
domain-name related. It really gets my goat when you phone up an ISP to
change a DNS record and they just do it, no questions asked. Likewise I
wouldn't want a domain registrar password compromised and lose all
domain names in one go. There should be a procedure to go through.
Having said that, nobody likes printing signing posting paperwork and
I'm hardly surprised the old developer hasn't been forthcoming.
I might try calling Webdrive and explain the situation, otherwise I
guess keep badgering.

the legal name. Tech, Admin and Billing records are fully editable.
Can't be done without going through a change of registrant process on either
Web Drive or Freeparking. Freeparking handled this digitally when we did
this (a long, multi-day, multi-form confirmation process), where as Web
Drive require that signed form. Luckily they just did it en-masse for us
with a rational discussion over the phone. Our situation is a bit different
however. They knew we are the two entities are the same people.
Not sure about other registrars. But I think it is usually the same. I think
they have their own systems to cover their asses however they see fit.
Personally, it makes sense to me.
Bit tricky when you are relying on a possibly disgruntled 3rd party to sign
off on it.

So, The client managed to get hold of the web developer and we got a
UDAI, the domain is on our Webdrive account now.
However, it's not all finished yet, as Webdrive requires signed
paperwork
(https://cp.secureserver.co.nz/inc/Change%20of%20Name%20Holder.pdf) to
confirm the transfer of ownership. Currently, the registrant contact is
still the old developer, but the client's email and phone number are on
the whois record. In other words, the client still doesn't legally own
the domain
So the current status is we are waiting for old developer to send back
the signed change of ownership form (requested a couple of weeks back).
One question - is this paperwork required with every registrar or is
this just a Webdrive thing? I have used Webdrive for all my .nz domain
needs for several years now and haven't had any reason to go elsewhere,
I wouldn't know if this was normal or not. If we could get around having
to chase this guy for a piece of paper by transferring to another
registrar that might be the way to go.
Cheers,
Harvey.
