I have a .es domain with Godaddy that I'd like to transfer to Dreamhost, which now supports .es domains. If you have done this, can you tell me how you did it?

My issue is not a technical one. I am sure I can handle the technical side. I have had no problem transferring different top level domains in the past that weren't country-specific.

My issue is a procedural one. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm fairly sure each country-level domain registrar has its own thing. On the form for Dreamhost it says:

"Note: For .es domains, the Registrant Contact of a .ES domain name may either be a natural person/individual or a company.
However, the Admin, Technical and Billing Contacts must be natural persons/individuals only."

And it also asks for a .ES identification number. I don't have one of those. I am not a resident of Spain. I'm just some guy with a .ES domain. I also don't speak spanish unless you need me to tell you what color your dog is.

Just write to Dreamhost support, that's what they are there for... I have dozens of sites there (no .es ones, though, sorry) and find them to be extremely responsive.
