Transfer
Transferring a .bayern
- Before you start, check the WHOIS to make sure there's no transfer lock on the domain. As the registrant, you can ask the current registrar to remove a lock they've set.
- You start the transfer with the transfer code. The request goes to the registry, which automatically notifies the current registrar.
- The current registrar emails the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact as well, about the transfer. You can often approve or reject the transfer in that email.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it's completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain. The registrant or the administrative contact can request it from the current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long and contains at least one letter, one number and two special characters.
- Allowed special characters are: ! ; $ % @ , . :
