# Changing domain nameservers

## How to change nameservers?

 Attention! If DNSSEC function is active on your domains, it needs to be removed prior to nameserver change. Guidelines can be found [here](https://www.zone.lv/help/en/kb/dnssec-2/#h2deactivating-dnssech2).

For domains in Zone registrar, you can change nameservers from “My Zone” control panel by clicking on your domain name from **Services overview** window[![](https://www.zone.lv/static/sites/5/Domeeni_nimeserver_teenuste_ylevade_EE_ENG.png)](https://www.zone.lv/help/en/kb/changing-domain-nameservers/domeeni_nimeserver_teenuste_ylevade_ee_eng/)

In the next window, click on **“DNS Servers”** or on the Pencil icon from **“Nameservers”** option.

## Propagation

Nameserver change will propagate in 1-2h in the nearest networks, 24h around the world. After this time, all DNS records need to be changed or modified through your new Nameserver service provider’s control panel.
