Registrar Transfer

For a successful registrar transfer, please be aware of the following:

• You must be able to receive email addressed to the current administrative contact, as listed in the current registrar's whois database. To check the current registration, use our whois service. If the currently listed email address is incorrect, you will have to get it fixed at the current registrar. During the transfer process, the administrative contact will receive authorization instructions by email. Failure to follow these instructions will cause the transfer to fail.

• The registrar transfer process normally takes between 3 and 10 days to complete. Normal operation of the domain name will not be interrupted. The name servers listed in the current registration will not change (you will be able to change these after the transfer is complete if you wish).

• Your domain name must have been registered for at least 60 days at the current registrar before a registrar transfer is possible.

• If your domain name is expired, or is on hold for some reason, the existing registrar may prevent the transfer from completing.

• The current registrars may require you to authorize the transfer away from them. If you receive a confirmation request from the current registrar, be sure to read it carefully, and follow the instructions for confirming the transfer.

  To begin the transfer your domain name from the current registrar to OpenSRS/Tucows, enter it here:

  If you have a number of domain names you would like to transfer in one batch, you don't have to enter them one at a time.  Use our bulk transfer form instead.
