Transfer
Transferring a .ac.nz
- To transfer a .ac.nz domain name to another registrar, you start with the domain name's transfer code.
- You request the transfer code from your current registrar. Only the registrant or the administrative contact of the domain name can do this.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code to transfer a domain. You get it from your current registrar.
- The transfer code is always 16 characters long.
- A transfer code is valid for 30 days. If your code has expired, request a new one. WebOké can have one generated for you.
- The transfer code changes automatically after certain changes to the domain name, for example after an update or a transfer. So always use the most recent code.
