2.1.2.1 If the Gaining Registrar relies on a physical authorization
process, then the Gaining Registrar assumes the burden of obtaining
reliable evidence of the identity of the Transfer Contact and
maintaining appropriate records proving that such evidence was obtained.
Further the Gaining Registrar also assumes the burden for ensuring that
the entity making the request is indeed authorized to do so. The
acceptable forms of physical identity are:

Notarized statement
Valid Drivers license
Passport
Article of Incorporation
Military ID
State/Government issued ID
Birth Certificate

2.1.3 In the event that the Gaining Registrar relies on an electronic
process to obtain this authorization the acceptable forms of identity
would include:

- Electronic signature in conformance with national legislation, in the
location of the Gaining Registrar (if such legislation exists).

- Consent from an individual or entity that has an email address
matching the Transfer Contact email address.
