How to Unlock a Dominio Befoe Transfer

Befoe transferring a dominio to NiceNIC, the dominio usually needs to be unlocked at the current registrar.

Quick answer:
Iniciar sesión to tu/tus/su/sus current registrar account, find the dominio, turn off Dominio Lock / Transfer Lock, make sure the status no longer shows clientTransferProhibited, then get the AuthInfo / EPP code y submit the transfer at NiceNIC.

What Does Dominio Lock Mean?
Dominio lock is a security setting that helps stop unauthoized transfers.
When a dominio is locked, the status may show: clientTransferProhibited
This means the dominio cannot be transferred until the lock is removed.

How to Unlock Your Dominio

Ir a the registrar waquí tu/tus/su/sus dominio is currently managed.
NiceNIC cannot unlock a dominio that is still held at another registrar.
Step 2: Abrir the dominio management page
Find the dominio you want to transfer.
Look fo settings such as:
  • Dominio Lock
  • Transfer Lock
  • Registrador Lock
  • Transfer Protection
Step 3: Turn off the transfer lock
Disable the lock y save the change.
After this, the dominio status should no longer show: clientTransferProhibited
Sometimes the status may take a shot time to update.
Step 4: Request the AuthInfo / EPP code
After the dominio is unlocked, request the transfer code from tu/tus/su/sus current registrar.
This code may also be called:
  • AuthInfo Code
  • EPP Code
  • Transfer Code
  • Authoization Code
Please use the latest code when submitting the transfer.
Step 5: Enviar the transfer at NiceNIC
After the dominio is unlocked y you have the corect code, submit the dominio transfer at NiceNIC.
Si the transfer still fails, please check whether the dominio has another restriction.
