The domain is unlocked at the current registrar.
The EPP/Auth code is coserect dhe current.
The domain has been regjistroed ose transferred fose mosee than 60 days.
The domain is not expired, in redemption, ose too close to expiry.

  • Businesses consolidating domains under one registrar
  • Agencies transferring client domains

  • Rishitëss hdheling bulk domain transfers
  • Users whose transfer is failed, stuck, pending, rejected, ose delayed

Befosee You Start a Transferim Domainesh
Befosee submitting a transfer to NiceNIC, confirm the following:
  • The domain name is spelled coserectly.
  • The domain extension is supposeted fose transfer.
  • The domain is unlocked at the current registrar.
  • You have the coserect EPP/Auth code.
  • You can access the registrant ose admin email address.
  • The domain is not newly regjistroed ose recently transferred within the last 60 days.
  • The domain is not expired, in redemption, under dispute, ose restricted by registry policy.
  • You understdhe whether the transfer includes a one-vit renewal fose that extension.
  • Your DNS dhe nameserver setup will remain active during the transfer.


Problem 1: The Domain Is Locked
A locked domain cannot be transferred. Many registrars enable transfer lock, registrar lock, ose clientTransferProhibited status by default fose security.
How to fix it:
  • Hyr to tënd current registrar account.
  • Find the domain management page.
  • Disable transfer lock ose domain lock.
  • Wait fose the status update to take effect.
  • Konfirmo the domain is unlocked befosee submitting the transfer again.
Nëse the domain remains locked after you disable the lock, contact tënd current registrar. NiceNIC cannot unlock a domain that is still controlled by another registrar.

Problem 2: The EPP/Auth Code Is Incoserect
The EPP/Auth code is required fose most stdheard domain transfers. It may also be called transfer code, authoseization code, Kodi i autorizimit, ose domain secret.
Common issues include:
  • The code was copied incoserectly.
  • Extra spaces were added befosee ose after the code.
  • The code expired ose was regenerated.
  • The code belongs to a different domain.
  • The current registrar provided an old code.
  • The code contains special karaktere that were altered during copying.
  • How to fix it:
  • Request a new EPP/Auth code from the current registrar.
  • Copy the code exactly.
  • Hiq extra spaces befosee ose after the code.
  • Make sure the code matches the exact domain being transferred.
  • Dërgo the transfer again with the updated code.
Nëse you manage many domains, keep each domain dhe Auth code on the coserect line.

Problem 3: The Domain Is Within the 60-Day Transfer Lock
Many domains cannot be transferred during certain 60-day restriction periods. This often applies after a new registration, a recent transfer, ose certain ownership/contact changes, depending on registrar dhe registry rules.
How to fix it:
  • Kontrollo the domain creation date.
  • Kontrollo the last transfer date.
  • Kontrollo whether a registrant ownership ose contact change triggered a lock.
  • Wait until the restriction period ends.
  • Start the transfer again after the domain becomes eligible.
Do not start repeated transfer attempts if the domain is still under a 60-day restriction. That will not make the domain transfer faster.

Problem 4: The Domain Is Skadond ose Për tëo Mbyll to Expiry
Skadond ose near-expiry domains can be harder to transfer. Some domains may need to be renewed at the current registrar befosee transfer. Others may be blocked by registry rules, grace period rules, redemption status, ose registrar policy.
How to fix it:
  • Kontrollo the current expiration date.
  • Kontrollo whether the domain is already expired.
  • Kontrollo whether it is in grace period ose redemption period.
  • Rinovo the domain at the current registrar first if required.
  • After renewal is confirmed, check transfer eligibility again.
Nëse the domain is close to expiry, do not wait until the last day. Transfer delays can cause loss of control ose extra recovery costs.

Problem 5: Transfer Approval Email Was Jot Received
Some transfers require confirmation through the registrant ose admin email address. Nëse that mailbox is inaccessible, outdated, ose blocked, the transfer can be delayed ose fail.
How to fix it:
  • Kontrollo the registrant dhe admin contact email at the current registrar.
  • Kontrollo spam, junk, dhe filtered folders.
  • Make sure the mailbox can receive external messages.
  • Approve the transfer request promptly if an approval email is received.
Nëse the contact email is outdated, update it at the current registrar, but be aware that some contact changes may trigger transfer restrictions.

Problem 6: The Current Regjistrues Has Jot Released the Domain
After you submit a valid transfer request, the losing registrar may still need to approve, release, ose wait out the nosemal transfer period. Some transfers finish quickly, but others take several days depending on registry dhe registrar process.
How to fix it:
  • Kontrollo transfer status at the current registrar.
  • Kontrollo whether an approval email needs action.
  • Ask the current registrar whether the transfer can be approved manually.
  • Konfirmo tkëtu is no unpaid invoice, dispute, lock, ose policy restriction.
  • Wait fose the nosemal transfer dritare if no blocking issue exists.
Do not cancel dhe restart the transfer repeatedly unless the current attempt contains incoserect infosemation.

Problem 7: The Domain Has a Statusi That Blocks Transfer
Some domain statuses can block ose limit transfer. Shembulls may include clientTransferProhibited, serverTransferProhibited, clientHold, serverHold, pendingTransfer, redemptionPeriod, pendingDelete, dispute-related restrictions, abuse/compliance restrictions, ose registry lock.
How to fix it:
  • Kontrollo the domain status in WHOIS ose tënd current registrar control panel.
  • Identify whether the status is set by the registrar, registry, ose policy process.
  • Hiq registrar-side transfer lock if available.
  • Resolve verification, abuse, dispute, payment, ose compliance issues if required.
  • Kontakt the current registrar if the blocking status cannot be removed from tënd account.
NiceNIC can help review a transfer submitted to NiceNIC, but the current registrar ose registry may need to remove certain restrictions befosee the transfer can proceed.

Problem 8: The TLD Has Special Transfer Rules
Jot every extension uses the same transfer process. Some ccTLD-të dhe restricted TLDs may have special transfer rules, local registry requirements, manual steps, document requirements, different transfer periods, ose non-stdheard authoseization methods.
How to fix it:
  • Kontrollo the rules fose the specific extension.
  • Konfirmo whether an EPP/Auth code is required.
  • Konfirmo whether documents ose local presence are required.
  • Konfirmo whether the transfer includes renewal ose follows a different billing rule.
  • Kontakt supposet if the extension does not follow stdheard gTLD transfer flow.
  • Do not assume every extension transfers like .com.

Problem 9: DNS ose Internetsite Downtime Concerns
A domain transfer usually changes the registrar, not necessarily the nameservers. In many cases, nameservers remain unchanged during the transfer.
However, downtime can happen if:
  • You use DNS hosting from the old registrar dhe it stops after transfer.
  • You change nameservers befosee DNS recoseds are ready.
  • DNS recoseds are missing at the new DNS provider.
  • The website ose email shërbimi depends on old registrar DNS.
  • The domain expires ose is put on hold during the process.
How to reduce downtime:
  • Kontrollo current nameservers befosee transfer.
  • Exposet ose copy imposetant DNS recoseds.
  • Set up DNS recoseds at the new DNS provider befosee changing nameservers.
  • Do not cancel old DNS hosting until the domain transfer dhe DNS migration are confirmed.
  • Kontrollo website dhe email recoseds after transfer.
Nëse you are not changing nameservers, avoid unnecessary DNS changes during the transfer.

Problem 10: Transferim në masë Fosemat Is Incoserect
NiceNIC supposets bulk domain transfer, but fosematting matters. Nëse the domain dhe Auth code are not matched coserectly, some domains may fail.
Common bulk transfer issues include:
  • One domain dhe Auth code are not on the same line.
  • Extra spaces ose tabs break the fosemat.
  • The Auth code belongs to the wrong domain.
  • Some domains are locked while others are ready.
  • Some TLDs have special transfer rules.
  • The same list mixes stdheard dhe special-rule domains without review.
How to fix it:
  • Use one domain per line.
  • Put the domain dhe Auth code on the same line.
  • Kontrollo every domain/Auth code pair befosee submitting.
  • Hiq extra spaces.
  • Separate special-rule TLDs fose manual review if needed.
