Requirements
Who can register a .school?
- Anyone can register a .school domain name, except individuals and organisations from countries or territories subject to United States sanctions (the OFAC list).
- The sanctions check looks at the country and also at the combination of country and province or region. An address in Crimea, for example, is rejected, whether you enter Ukraine or Russia as the country.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry locks the domain name against transfers for 60 days. During that period you can't move it to another registrar.
- For premium names, you need a special code issued by the registry. Without that code you can't register such a name.
- Bought a reserved name directly from the registry Donuts, for example through a pioneer programme? Donuts will give you a code so you can register the name through your own registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .school
- First check that the domain name isn't locked against transfers. You can see this in the WHOIS.
- Is there a lock set by the current registrar? Then, as the registrant, ask that registrar to remove it.
- Request the transfer code from your current registrar and pass it on to the new registrar, who uses it to start the transfer with the registry.
- The registry lets your current registrar know a transfer is in progress. The registrar then emails the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact too.
- You can often approve or reject the transfer in that email. If you don't respond, the transfer is completed automatically after 5 days.
- Only just registered the domain name? Then you can't transfer it for the first 60 days.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code to transfer a domain. As the registrant or administrative contact, you request it from your current registrar.
- The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one digit and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - or /.
Want to transfer your .school to WebOké? Start the transfer and enter your transfer code.
