Check if your Domain Name can be Transferred
There are various cases where a domain name
may not be transferable to another Registrar. This could happen in the following
circumstances:
- Domain name is less than 60 days old: If the domain name you are
trying to Transfer was registered less than 60 days ago, the request will get rejected by
the Registry itself. Domain names less than 60 days old are not allowed to be
transferred to any other Registrar as per ICANN Guidelines.
- Domain name has been transferred less than 60 days ago: A domain
name
cannot be transferred to another Registrar within 60 days of a previous
Transfer. For example, a domain name cannot be transferred from Registrar B to
Registrar C, if it has been transferred to Registrar B from Registrar A within
the last 60 days. An exception to this rule is the Transfer back to
the previous Registrar in
cases where both Registrars so agree and/or where a decision in the dispute resolution process
so directs.
- You have locked your domain name: If you have locked your domain name from the Control Panel provided
by the Current Registrar, then a Transfer for that domain name will not
be allowed. You will first have to unlock the domain name from the Control Panel and
then proceed with a Transfer.
- Your Registrar has applied a Lock or Hold on your domain name: If the Current Registrar has applied a Lock or Hold on the
domain name due to some pending issue, you would be advised to get in
touch with their (current Registrar's) Support Team to resolve this issue, before applying for a
Transfer.
- The domain name is in the Redemption Grace Period or in the Pending Delete status: If the domain name is in either of these statuses, it cannot be transferred.
