Requirements
Who can register a .wales?
- There are no restrictions for .wales: anyone can register a domain name.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name. During that period, you can't transfer the domain name to another registrar.
- For premium names, you need a special code issued by the registry. Without that code, you can't register a premium name.
Transfer
Transferring a .wales
- You start the transfer with the transfer code you request from your current registrar.
- Check the WHOIS beforehand to make sure there's no transfer lock on the domain name. If your current registrar has set a lock, you as the registrant can ask for it to be removed.
- The registry notifies your current registrar of the transfer. They then email the registrant, and possibly the administrative contact, about the transfer, sometimes with the option to approve or reject it.
- If you don't explicitly approve or reject the transfer, it will be completed automatically after 5 days.
- You can't transfer a domain within 60 days of registration.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code. The registrant or administrative contact can request it from the current registrar.
- The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
- The code contains at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - . / or :.
