If you would prefer not to handle the technical details of your domain transfer, please contact Sevaa at 1-877-712-1400 and ask about our domain transfer concierge service.
1. Verify Domain is eligible to transfer
To make sure your domain name can be transferred, check the following:
- The domain name has been registered for at least 60 days, and has been at Register.com for at least 60 days.
- The domain name is not in "client update prohibited" status.
2. Update contact information for the domain name
Before you can transfer a domain, the Registrant and Administrative contact information (especially the email addresses) must be up-to-date at Register.com, because these contacts receive the transfer request and okay the transfer.
To update the Registrant and Administrative contacts at Register.com:
- Log on to your account at register.com.
- Navigate to the contact information for the domain name you want to transfer.
- Update the Registrant and Administrative contact information if necessary.
3. Obtain the authorization code or retag the domain name
Some TLDs require that you provide an authorization code for your domain name, to provide an extra level of assurance that the transfer request comes from an authorized source.
To transfer a .com, .net, .org, .info, or .biz domain name, obtain the authorization code from Register.com:
- Call Register.com's Business Center. If you are calling from the US or Canada, dial toll-free 877-866-0045. Outside the US and Canada call 902-749-2056.
- Ask them to send you the authorization code.
To retag a .uk domain name:
- Contact Register.com and ask them to retag the domain name to ISP tag eNom.
- Alternatively, you can retag/detag directly through Nominet, for a fee.
- When you transfer a .uk domain name, use the Auto verification transfer method.
- You can submit the transfer requests to eNom and Register.com in any order.
- If you submit the transfer request to eNom first, you must submit the request to Register.com within a week.
- If you submit the transfer request to Register.com first, you must submit the request to eNom by the next 8th day of the calendar month.
Transfers of TLDs other than those named above do not require any codes or tags.
4. Unlock the domain name
Before you can transfer a domain name away from Register.com, it must be unlocked. Locking is a feature most registrars offer to prevent unauthorized transfers (hijacking) of domain names.
To unlock:
- Log on to your Account Manager at Register.com.
- In the main menu, select the domain name you want to unlock.
- In the "ENABLE/DISABLE DOMAIN LOCK" section of the page, click "Disable Domain Lock".
- Click "Continue".
- On the confirmation page, click "Continue".
5. Initiate the transfer.
Once you have prepared the domain name at Register.com, you're ready to transfer! Simply email Sevaa your authorization code and we will initiate the transfer.
6. Respond to Transfer Authroization email
After the transfer has been initiated, you will receive and email with the subject "Domain Transfer Request for xxxxx.xxx". While it is not required your reply to this message, following the link in the email will help expidite the transfer of your domain.
