Transfer
Transferring a .shop
- To transfer a domain, you need a transfer code. As soon as you request the transfer, the registry lets your current registrar know that the domain is leaving.
- Your current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact too, an email about the transfer. In it, you can often approve or reject the transfer.
- If you don't do anything with that email, the transfer is completed automatically after 5 days.
- Check beforehand that there's no transfer lock on your domain. You can see this in the WHOIS details.
- If your current registrar has set a transfer lock, you can ask them, as the registrant, to remove it.
The transfer code
- A transfer code is required. As the registrant or administrative contact, you request it from your current registrar.
- The code must be 8 to 32 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - . / : ~
