Domain transfer

Plan a domain transfer carefully

A transfer changes the registrar responsible for a domain. The exact rules depend on the extension, current registrar, registration age, and domain status. Confirm eligibility before you start.

The details

A thoughtful starting point

Learn about transfer eligibility, authorization codes, domain locks, and the checks to complete before moving a name.

Prepare the current registration

Check the current registrar’s transfer policy, verify registrant access, ensure the domain is not under a transfer lock, and confirm that contact email can receive approval messages.

Request the authorization code

Many extensions use an EPP or authorization code. Obtain it from the current registrar through its official process and keep it private. Never send account passwords with a transfer enquiry.

Protect DNS continuity

Record the existing nameservers and important DNS records before changing providers. A registrar transfer does not always require a nameserver change, but the specific workflow should be confirmed.
