2. Log on to your account at RegistrationTek.com.

3. To make sure the contact information is up-to-date (the Registrant and Administrative email addresses must be correct for the transfer to succeed), click "Contacts".

4. Click the contact you want to edit.

5. Make any needed changes and click "Save".

6. To obtain the authorization code, email [e-mail]. Request the authorization code for the domain name you want to transfer.

7. To unlock the domain name, log on to your account at RegistrationTek.com and click the domain name you want to transfer.

14. Type in the domain name you want to transfer, a comma, a space, and then the authorization code. If you have more domains, hit "Enter" and type in the information for the next domain on a new line. Repeat for each domain you're transferring, one per line.

15. Set the Registrar Lock, Auto-Renew, Whois, and Password options as you wish.

16. Click "next".

17. Click "submit".

18. When you (or the Whois contacts listed at Registration Technologies) receive the email from eNom asking for approval of the transfer, do so by following the instructions in the email.

Tips & Warnings

• There are a few unscrupulous businesses that "hijack" names -- transfer unlocked domains to themselves, effectively stealing them. Once you unlock your name, it's advisable to submit the transfer request at eNom quickly, to reduce the time window for any potential hijackers.
• Make sure the transfer email that you approve is eNom's, not from one of these hijackers.
