Domain Transfer Details

Transfer Procedure

  • The transfer of a .scot domain begins with an email confirmation to the domain’s Owner/Admin-C as per WHOIS. Afterward, the losing registrar is notified and provided the chance to deny the transfer within 5 days. If WHOIS email is invalid, ensure its update with the current registrar before initiating the transfer.

Transfer Notes

  • A .scot domain transfer must be initiated with an authorisation code, obtainable from the current registrar. Ensure the domain is not locked (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD) in WHOIS and can be unlocked if needed. The transfer process follows an email-based confirmation from the Owner/Admin-C, and the domain is transfer-locked for 60 days post successful transfer.

Authorization Codes

  • The format for auth info requires a minimum length of 8 characters and a maximum length of 32 characters. Additionally, auth info must contain at least one of each of the following three character types: alphabetic characters (a-z; A-Z), numeric characters (0-9), and special characters (!;<=$%?&@[()]*^+-,’-{.|/}:~).
