Domain Transfer Details

Transfer Procedure

  • The transfer is submitted to the registry and the losing registrar is automatically notified by them.
  • The losing registrar sends an email to the owner (and optionally admin) contact, informing about the transfer; this may include options to approve and/or deny the transfer.
  • If neither explicitly approved nor denied, the transfer will be automatically finalized after 5 days.

Transfer Notes

  • A .istanbul domain transfer must be initiated with a so-called authorisation code, (auth-code) which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner/admin contact of the domain.
  • Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (clientTransferProhibited and/or serverTransferProhibited). This can be seen in Whois.
  • If the domain has a client-side transfer lock, the owner can ask the current registrar to have the lock removed.

Authorization Codes

  • The auth code requires a minimum length of 6 characters and a maximum length of 16 characters. Additionally, the code must contain at least one alphabetic character (a-z; A-Z), one numeric character (0-9), and one special character (!;<=$%?&@[()]*^+-,’-{.|/}:~).
