Any advice on how to force a buyer to change the domain registrant information?
Domain was purchased, then transferred to Goaddy.com.

When you do transfer/push, you should be able to select an option regarding whether or not to update registrant info. It seems the default setting is to keep original info intact.
Interesting. I did not realise this.A lot of users (happened with me recently) don't understand that changing contact info locks the domain. If the buyer wants to either transfer or push the domain after purchase, if the contact-info was changed prior to the push/transfer (of in the case of GD, along with it), the domain might get locked which means you're potentially sitting on a dead-weight for 2 months!
Within same registrar, there is no restriction in transfers but for different registrar, lock in is 2 monthsA lot of users (happened with a seller recently) don't understand that changing contact info locks the domain.

There is... GD has a restriction of 5 days. Other registrars have other policies. Some do not have restrictions too. And besides, if you plan to resell the domains, the buyer might not be accommodating of a push and might want to only transfer out!Within same registrar, there is no restriction in transfers but for different registrar, lock in is 2 months
I don't mind those so much
But if you care about your customers post-sale, you will at least advise them to avoid godaddy
