Transfer
Transferring a .ga
- The new registrar requests the transfer. For this you need the transfer code, which you as the registrant give to the new registrar.
- The current registrar is notified of the transfer. If it approves within 8 days, the transfer is completed straight away.
- If the current registrar doesn't respond within 8 days, the transfer goes ahead automatically after those 8 days.
- If the current registrar refuses within 8 days, the transfer takes 22 days in total before it's carried out. The current registrar can still approve it within those 22 days.
- A transfer comes at a cost and changes the expiry date: the term of your domain name starts again.
- You can't transfer a domain and change the registrant at the same time. Do this in two separate steps.
The transfer code
- A transfer requires a transfer code. You as the registrant give it to the new registrar, which uses it to request the transfer.
Owner
Change of registrant
- A change of registrant can't be carried out at the same time as a transfer. Do this in two separate steps.
