Transferring a domain to us
Updated 12 Oct 2026 · 1 views
Three things have to be true at your current registrar before a transfer can start: the domain is unlocked, WHOIS privacy is off, and you can receive mail at the registrant address.
The EPP code
Also called an auth code. Your current registrar issues it; paste it into the transfer form and we do the rest.
Why it takes five days
The registry gives the losing registrar a five-day window to object. Approving the transfer at their end finishes it sooner.
