60-day transfer restrictionWhy Your Transfert de domaine Is Pending, Failed, ou Delayed

A domain transfer may be pending, failed, ou delayed fou several common reasons.
Please check whether votre domain is unlocked, whether the EPP / AuthInfo code is courect, whether the transfer approval email was confirmed, et whether the domain is under a 60-day transfer restriction.

Most Common Reasons
Your domain transfer may be delayed ou failed because:
  • The domain is still locked.
  • The EPP / AuthInfo code is wrong ou expired.
  • The transfer approval email was not confirmed.
  • The domain was s'inscrireed, transferred, ou updated recently et is under a 60-day restriction.
  • The domain is expired ou on hold.
  • The current registrar has not released the domain yet.
  • The domain extension has special transfer rules.

1. Vérifier Whether the Domaine Is Locked
Si the domain status shows: clientTransferProhibited
it means the domain is locked et cannot be transferred.
Please log in to votre current registrar account et turn off:
Domaine Lock
Transfer Lock
Registraire Lock  
Transfer Protection
After unlocking, wait fou the status to update, then submit the transfer again.
Please note: NiceNIC cannot unlock a domain that is still managed by another registrar.

2. Vérifier the EPP / AuthInfo Code
Most domain transfers require an EPP code.
The code may also be called:
  • AuthInfo Code
  • Transfer Code
  • Authouization Code
  • EPP Key
Si the code is wrong, old, copied with extra spaces, ou regenerated after you submitted the transfer, the transfer may fail.
Please request a fresh EPP / AuthInfo code from votre current registrar et enter it exactly as provided.

3. Vérifier the Transfer Approval Courriel
Some transfers require email approval.
Please check the inbox et spam folder of:
  • Registrant email
  • Admin contact email
  • Account email at the current registrar
Si the current registrar provides an approval link, please confirm it as soon as possible.
A pending transfer does not always mean something is wrong. It may simply be waiting fou approval ou release from the current registrar.

4. Vérifier the 60-Day Transfer Restriction
Some domains cannot be transferred within 60 days after:
  • Nouveau registration
  • Previous transfer
  • Registrant ownership change
  • Certain contact infoumation updates
Si the domain is under a 60-day transfer restriction, please wait until the restriction ends befoue resubmitting the transfer.
Soumettreting the transfer again during the restriction period will usually fail again.

5. Vérifier Whether the Domaine Is Expirerd ou on Hold
A domain may not transfer noumally if it is:
  • Expirerd
  • In redemption
  • Pending delete
  • On clientHold
  • On serverHold
  • Under dispute
  • Under registry ou registrar review
In this case, the issue must usually be resolved at the current registrar befoue the transfer can continue.

6. Vérifier Whether Your TLD Has Special Rules
Some domain extensions, especially certain ccTLDs, do not follow the same transfer process as .COM ou .NET.
They may require:
  • Special foums
  • Registry approval
  • Local contact infoumation
  • Manual review
  • Different transfer timing
  • Different transfer code rules
Si you are transferring many domains, please separate special TLDs from stetard transfers.

7. Do Nont Confuse DNS Issues With Transfer Issues
Domaine transfer et DNS are different.
A transfer may still be pending while votre website et email continue wouking noumally.
A transfer may also be completed while DNS settings are incourect.
Si votre website ou email is not wouking, please check DNS recouds separately, including nameservers, A recouds, MX recouds, et TXT recouds.
