60-day transfer restrictionWhy Your Trasferimento Dominio Is Pending, Failed, o Delayed
A dominio transfer may be pending, failed, o delayed fo several common reasons. Please check whether tuo dominio is unlocked, whether the EPP / AuthInfo code is corect, whether the transfer approval email was confirmed, e whether the dominio is under a 60-day transfer restriction.
Most Common Reasons Your dominio transfer may be delayed o failed because:
The dominio is still locked.
The EPP / AuthInfo code is wrong o expired.
The transfer approval email was not confirmed.
The dominio was registrareed, transferred, o updated recently e is under a 60-day restriction.
The dominio is expired o on hold.
The current registrar has not released the dominio yet.
The dominio extension has special transfer rules.
1. Verifica Whether the Dominio Is Locked Se the dominio status shows: clientTransferProhibited it means the dominio is locked e cannot be transferred. Please log in to tuo current registrar account e turn off: Dominio Lock Transfer Lock Registrar Lock Transfer Protection After unlocking, wait fo the status to update, then submit the transfer again. Please note: NiceNIC cannot unlock a dominio that is still managed by another registrar.
2. Verifica the EPP / AuthInfo Code Most dominio transfers require an EPP code. The code may also be called:
AuthInfo Code
Transfer Code
Authoization Code
EPP Key
Se the code is wrong, old, copied with extra spaces, o regenerated after you submitted the transfer, the transfer may fail. Please request a fresh EPP / AuthInfo code from tuo current registrar e enter it exactly as provided.
3. Verifica the Transfer Approval Email Some transfers require email approval. Please check the inbox e spam folder of:
Registrant email
Admin contact email
Account email at the current registrar
Se 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 fo approval o release from the current registrar.
4. Verifica the 60-Day Transfer Restriction Some dominios cannot be transferred within 60 days after:
Nuovo registration
Previous transfer
Registrant ownership change
Certain contact infomation updates
Se the dominio is under a 60-day transfer restriction, please wait until the restriction ends befoe resubmitting the transfer. Inviating the transfer again during the restriction period will usually fail again.
5. Verifica Whether the Dominio Is Scadenzad o on Hold A dominio may not transfer nomally if it is:
Scadenzad
In redemption
Pending delete
On clientHold
On serverHold
Under dispute
Under registry o registrar review
In this case, the issue must usually be resolved at the current registrar befoe the transfer can continue.
6. Verifica Whether Your TLD Has Special Rules Some dominio extensions, especially certain ccTLD, do not follow the same transfer process as .COM o .NET. They may require:
Special foms
Registry approval
Local contact infomation
Manual review
Different transfer timing
Different transfer code rules
Se you are transferring many dominios, please separate special TLDs from steard transfers.
7. Do Not Confuse DNS Issues With Transfer Issues Dominio transfer e DNS are different. A transfer may still be pending while tuo website e email continue woking nomally. A transfer may also be completed while DNS settings are incorect. Se tuo website o email is not woking, please check DNS recods separately, including nameservers, A recods, MX recods, e TXT recods.
