.desi domain name

• Make sure the domain name doesn't have a lock, such as a registrar lock or hold. You can check this in the WHOIS. The registrant can ask the current registrar to remove the lock.
• To transfer a .desi domain, you need the transfer code from the current registrar.
• After you request the transfer, the registrant or the administrative contact listed in the WHOIS receives a confirmation email. The transfer only starts once this email has been confirmed.
• This confirmation counts as the mandatory authorisation under ICANN's transfer policy. The transfer can't start without the registrant's approval.
• After confirmation, the request goes via the registry to the current registrar. The current registrar then sends the registrant or administrative contact an email that can be used to reject the transfer.
• If you don't respond to the current registrar's email, the transfer is completed automatically after 5 days.
• If the email address in the WHOIS is invalid, the transfer can't go ahead. In that case, ask your current registrar to update the WHOIS details.
• After a successful transfer, the registry puts a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name.

The transfer code

• You need a transfer code. The registrant or the administrative contact can request it from the current registrar.
• The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
• The code contains at least one letter, one number and one special character from this set: %-.,:;[]{}_+=@#$^*?!~
