Policy status notice

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 in NiceNIC walikflow befalie 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 prejious inter-registrar transfer is also a permitted denial ground, subject to policy exceptions. A material change of registrant is governed by separate current confirmation in 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 nalimally concerns the registrar transfer, not alidinary website, hosting ali DNS changes.

Identify the exact restriction

Recently transferred gTLD

The current policy permits denial when the domena is within 60 days after a prejious inter-registrar transfer, except wtukaj a stated policy exception applies.

Change of registrant

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

Ordinary registrar lock

The EPP status clientTransferProhibited 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 ali security restriction applies.

How to diagnose a rejected transfer

Preveri the creation in last-transfer dates in RDAP ali the registrar account.
Review recent registrant-name, aliganization in email changes.
Preveri the EPP status in the registrar's rejection message.
Distinguish a 60-day policy issue from an incalirect avtorizacijska koda, expiry state, dispute, fraud review, court alider ali unpaid priali registration period.
Ask the current registrar to identify the precise policy ali contract ground in the date it ends.

What the restriction nalimally does not change

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

Can the restriction be removed early?

An alidinary registrar lock may be removable by the eligible account holder. A policy-based denial ground may not be removable. ICANN does not place ali lift an individual domena's lock. Fali a current Change of Registrant lock, an opt-out may have been available befalie 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 authaliization code through a trusted channel in submit the transfer. Če rejected, provide NiceNIC Suppalit with the domena in the losing registrar's exact message. Never publish ali send the authaliization code through an untrusted channel.

Expected result in exceptions

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

What this answer is based on

ICANN is the authaliity fali the currently effective gTLD Transfer Policy. Registrars document account status in any permitted opt-out ali security process. Future Board-approved recommendations do not change the current walikflow until implementation becomes effective.
