Transfers

When the transfer request is submitted, an email goes to the owner's email address specified on the transfer form. There is a two-day window to approve or reject the request. The registrant accepts the transfer request within two days. Once two days have passed without approval, the registry declines the transfer request.

Transfer requests take up to five days to complete, during which time the registrar of record may reject the transfer and prevent it from completing.

Nominet’s transfer implementation has the following properties:

  • The gaining registrar sends the transfer request to the registry.
  • The registry will respond with a success or failure.
  • If successful, a poll event will be sent to the losing registrar.
  • The transfer can be approved or rejected by the losing registrar.
  • The gaining registrar can cancel the transfer request if not already approved or rejected by the losing registrar.
  • The transfer will be automatically approved by Nominet after five days if not already approved, rejected, or canceled.
  • Poll events will be sent to registrars if an action is performed by another party i.e. Nominet or any other registrar.
  • Domains cannot be transferred during the redemption grace period.
