Dear Sasha, Thank you for your question. Please find our response below.

We list the documentation that is required here: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/required-documents-for-registry-updates <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/required-documents-for-registry-updates> When we mention documentation from a national authority, this refers to an entry in a trade registry, or another document issued by a chamber of commerce - anything from a national authority which can certify that changes to an organisation or its business structure have taken place. An agreement from lawyers would not meet this requirement because they are not a national authority. While we aim to provide our members with certainty wherever possible, we are unable to supply an exact definition of what is acceptable. This is because the exact legal frameworks around company registration and changes to the legal structure of companies can vary. It is also not practical to supply an exhaustive list of all national authorities in all countries that we serve. In cases where a member has questions, they can always contact us with questions about the supporting documentation. While our due diligence processes might seem cumbersome at times, given the stakes involved for some organisations, it's important that we get this right.
