Transfer
Transferring a .fo
- To transfer a domain to another registrar, you need the domain name's transfer code.
- Make sure there's no transfer lock on the domain name. You can check this in the WHOIS.
- If your current registrar has set a transfer lock, ask that registrar to remove it.
- After the request, the registry notifies the current registrar. They send an email to the registrant and sometimes also to the administrative contact.
- You may be able to approve or reject the transfer in that email. If you do nothing, the transfer is completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to start the transfer. As the registrant or administrative contact, you request it from your current registrar.
- The code must be 16 to 48 characters long.
- The code must contain at least two letters (a-z, A-Z), two digits (1-9) and two special characters. Permitted special characters are -.,:;[]{}_+=@#$^*?!~
