Transfer
Transferring a .co.za
- When you transfer a domain to another registrar, the current registrant and the current registrar are notified of the transfer request.
- The registry uses a voting system: the registrant and the current registrar can approve or reject the transfer, and this decides whether the transfer goes ahead.
- You can't transfer a .co.za domain from two days before the expiry date up to and including the fifth day of the following month.
