Transfer
Transferring a .台灣
- Make sure there's no lock on the domain name at the current registrar, otherwise the transfer can't go ahead.
- The domain name must have been registered more than 60 days ago, and the last transfer must also have been more than 60 days ago. Otherwise the transfer will be rejected.
- Start the transfer in good time and don't wait until just before the domain name expires.
- Once the transfer has been started, the registrant receives an email to confirm the transfer. The transfer is only carried out after this confirmation; if you don't confirm, the request lapses.
The transfer code
- To transfer a .台灣 domain name, you need a valid transfer code.
- The registrant or the administrative contact of the domain name requests the transfer code from the current registrar.
