Transfer
Transferring a .forum
- Request the transfer code from your current registrar. You'll use it to start the transfer with the new registrar.
- Check beforehand that there's no transfer lock on the domain name. You can see this in the WHOIS.
- Has your current registrar set a transfer lock? As the registrant, you can ask them to remove it.
- The registry notifies your current registrar of the transfer. They then send the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact too, an email about the transfer.
- In that email, you can sometimes approve or reject the transfer. If you do nothing, the transfer is completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code. As the registrant or administrative contact, you get it from your current registrar.
- The code is at least 16 and at most 48 characters long.
- The code contains at least two letters, two digits from 1 to 9 and two special characters from this set: -.,:;[]{}_+=@#$^*?!~
