Transfer
Transferring a .gdn
- Request the transfer code from your current registrar. This can be done by the registrant or the administrative contact of the domain name.
- Check in the WHOIS that there's no transfer lock on the domain name. A locked domain name can't be transferred.
- Is there a lock set by your current registrar? Then, as the registrant, you can ask for it to be removed.
- The transfer can only start once the current registrant has confirmed consent in line with ICANN's transfer policy.
- After a successful transfer, the registry locks the domain name against transfers again for 60 days.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code to transfer a domain. You get it from your current registrar via the registrant or the administrative contact.
- The code must be 8 to 32 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - or ~.
