Transfer
Transferring a .homes
- First check that there is no transfer lock on the domain name. You can see this in the WHOIS details.
- Has your current registrar set a transfer lock? Then, as the registrant, you can ask for the lock to be removed.
- You start the transfer with the transfer code. The registry forwards the request and automatically notifies your current registrar.
- Your current registrar sends an email about the transfer to the registrant. Sometimes you can approve or reject the transfer in that email.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it is completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- To transfer a domain, you need a transfer code. As the registrant or administrative contact, you can request it from your current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long and contains at least one letter, one number and one special character.
