Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • A domain name to transfer.
Step1
The first step it to choose which domain name you'd like to transfer. Please remember that, per ICANN regulations, the domain must not have been created or transferred within the last 60 days.

Now, you'll need to ask your current registrar to unlock your domain. Once, unlocked, ask them to provide the 'Authorization Key' for your domain name.

Authorization keys are required to transfer most TLDS like .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ and .US
Step3
If you do know who you registrar is to complete Step 2, you can check at http://www.whois.hm
Step4
Now that your domain name is unlocked and you have your authorization key, you can submit the transfer request.
Step5
Login to your eNom.com account.

Go to the 'Domains' menu and select the 'Transfer a Domain' option.
Step6
Choose the type of transfer reuqest you'd like to submit.

The 'Auto-Verification will send an email to the registrant email contact of your domain as listed in the WHOIS details of your domain. Most people choose that option.

*Note: For large quantities a fax transfer is easier.
Step7
Choose your transfer options and enter the domain name you'd like to transfer.
Step8
Enter the authorization key you received from your current Registrar.
Step9
Press the 'Submit' Button.
Step10
After about 2 hours you should have received your transfer authorization email.

You need to use the link provided in this email to verify your transfer.

*Note, if you selected the fax transfer method you will have to fax your form to eNom. No verification email is needed.
Step11
If you have successfully verified your transfer in Step 9, then eNom will submit your transfer request to the Registry.

Your old (losing) registrar now has 5 days to approve the transfer. You may want to contact them and ask them to manually approve the tranfser.
