Transfer
Transferring a .москва
- You need a transfer code. The owner or the administrative contact requests it from the current registrar.
- Check the WHOIS to make sure the domain name is not locked. If it is locked, the owner can ask the current registrar to remove the lock.
- After the transfer request, the owner or the administrative contact listed in the WHOIS receives an email. You must confirm it, otherwise the transfer will not start.
- After confirmation, the request goes via the registry to the current registrar. The registrar sends the owner or administrative contact an email that lets you reject the transfer.
- If you do not respond to the current registrar's email, the transfer is completed after 5 days.
- If the email address in the WHOIS is invalid, the transfer cannot go ahead. In that case, ask your current registrar to update the WHOIS details.
- 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 to transfer a domain. The owner or the administrative contact requests 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, such as ! $ % ? & @ or *.
Owner
Change of registrant
