.africa.com domain name

• You need a signed request from the domain name's registrant before the transfer is started.
• After the request, the registrant or the administrative contact receives a confirmation email at the address listed in the WHOIS. The transfer only starts once you confirm that email.
• The request then goes via the registry to your current registrar. They also send the registrant or the administrative contact an email that lets you refuse the transfer.
• If you don't respond to the email from your current registrar, the transfer is completed automatically after 5 days. A transfer takes 5 days in total.
• If the email address in the WHOIS is incorrect, the transfer can't go ahead. In that case, ask your current registrar to update the details first.
• The domain name must not be locked against transfers. You can see this in the WHOIS. As the registrant, you can ask your current registrar to remove the lock.
• The domain name must be older than 60 days, otherwise the transfer will be refused.
• Start the transfer in plenty of time, not just before the domain name expires.

The transfer code

• To transfer a .africa.com domain name, you need a transfer code.
• As the registrant or administrative contact, you get the transfer code from your current registrar.
• Check beforehand that the code is correct, because the transfer will fail with an incorrect code.
