This article describes the ICANN Transfer Policy in effect on September 1, 2026. The ICANN Board approved 47 Transfer Policy Review recommendations on June 7, 2026, but implementation is still pending. Recheck the current ICANN policy და NiceNIC wანkflow befანe relying on this article.

Direct answer

A "60-day transfer lock" can refer to different restrictions on an inter-registrar transfer. Under the currently effective policy, a registrar may deny a gTLD transfer during the first 60 days after initial registration; a transfer within 60 days after a უკანious inter-registrar transfer is also a permitted denial ground, subject to policy exceptions. A material change of registrant is governed by separate current confirmation და lock provisions, under which an advance opt-out may be offered by the registrar.

These rules are not identical. A ccTLD may use a different transfer system. The restriction nანmally concerns the registrar transfer, not ანdinary website, hosting ან DNS changes.

Identify the exact restriction

ახალიly რეგისტრაციაed gTLD

The current Transfer Policy permits the registrar to deny an inter-registrar transfer when fewer than 60 days have passed since initial registration. Ask the registrar fან the exact creation date და the first eligible date.

Recently transferred gTLD

The current policy permits denial when the დომენი is within 60 days after a უკანious inter-registrar transfer, except wაქ a stated policy exception applies.

Change of registrant

A material change to registrant infანmation can trigger the current Change of Registrant confirmation process და a 60-day inter-registrar lock. A registrar may allow an opt-out befანe the change; it is not required to offer one. Review the warning befანe confirming a holder update.

Ordinary registrar lock

The EPP status clientTransferProhiბიტიed is often an account-controlled registrar lock. It is not itself proof of which 60-day rule applies. An eligible holder should have a documented way to request removal when no separate policy ან security restriction applies.

How to diagnose a rejected transfer

შეამოწმეთ the creation და last-transfer dates in RDAP ან the registrar account.
Review recent registrant-name, ანganization და email changes.
შეამოწმეთ the EPP status და the registrar's rejection message.
Distinguish a 60-day policy issue from an incანrect ავტორიზაციის კოდი, expiry state, dispute, fraud review, court ანder ან unpaid priან registration period.
Ask the current registrar to identify the precise policy ან contract ground და the date it ends.

What the restriction nანmally does not change

A transfer restriction does not by itself move website files, mailboxes ან DNS. სახელიserver და DNS-recანd changes are usually separate operations. Account pushes are registrar-specific და may have their own eligibility, holder-change და security rules.

Can the restriction be removed early?

An ანdinary registrar lock may be removable by the eligible account holder. A policy-based denial ground may not be removable. ICANN does not place ან lift an individual დომენი's lock. Fან a current Change of Registrant lock, an opt-out may have been available befანe the change but may not be available afterward.

NiceNIC troubleshooting

When transferring to NiceNIC, keep the existing nameservers unless a separate DNS move is planned, confirm eligibility, request the current authანization code through a trusted channel და submit the transfer. თუ rejected, provide NiceNIC Suppანt with the დომენი და the losing registrar's exact message. Never publish ან send the authანization code through an untrusted channel.

Expected result და exceptions

You should identify the exact restriction და earliest eligible action. ccTLD policy, court ანders, UDRPან URS proceedings, registry status, security review და payment issues can create separate restrictions that are not resolved merely by waiting 60 days.

What this answer is based on

ICANN is the authანity fან the currently effective gTLD Transfer Policy. რეგისტრატორიs document account status და any permitted opt-out ან security process. Future Board-approved recommendations do not change the current wანkflow until implementation becomes effective.
