Transfer
Transferring a .quebec
- To transfer a domain, you need the transfer code from your current registrar.
- Check the WHOIS beforehand to make sure the domain name isn't locked. If it is, as the registrant you can ask your current registrar to remove the lock.
- After the request, the registrant or administrative contact listed in the WHOIS receives an email. You must confirm it, otherwise the transfer won't start.
- The request then goes through the registry to your current registrar. They also send an email that lets you reject the transfer.
- If you don't respond to that email from your current registrar, the transfer is completed after 5 days.
- If the email address in the WHOIS is incorrect, the transfer can't go ahead. In that case, have your current registrar update it first.
- The transfer follows ICANN's rules. The current registrant must authorise the transfer using the mandatory ICANN authorisation form.
- After a successful transfer, the registry locks the domain name against another transfer for 60 days.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code. The registrant or administrative contact requests it from the current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long and contains at least one letter, one digit and one special character.
