Transfer
Transferring a .org.ae
- The new registrar starts the transfer using the transfer code.
- The registrant receives an email and must confirm the transfer in it. Without confirmation, the transfer won't go ahead and the request will lapse. This applies to transfers both to and from WebOké.
- The current registrar receives a request to approve the transfer and, under the regulator's rules, can object within three days.
- A transfer is automatically approved after 48 hours.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain.
- The code is at least 6 and at most 32 characters long and contains both letters and numbers.
- The code must not be a word found in a dictionary.
Owner
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If you cancel your domain name, the registry only deletes it on the expiry date.
- If you want the domain name deleted straight away, WebOké can request this for you. This requires proof from the registrant.
