Registrar-to-Registrar Transfer

A registrar-registrar transfer is the process of moving a domain name from another registrar to the METUnic panel or a domain name from the METUnic panel to another registrar.

You can follow the steps below to transfer your domain name from a different registrar to METUnic:

1. The transfer lock must be removed from the registrar where your domain name is located.
2. You need to obtain an “Authorization Code” from the registrar. This code is required for the transfer of your domain name to METUnic.
3. For the domain name you want to transfer to METUnic, click the “Transfer” button on your control panel and type your domain name. Then enter the authorization code in the relevant field.
4. Complete the transfer application by paying the transfer fee.
5. The transfer fee is equivalent to one (1) year’s payment of the domain name and the duration of the domain name is extended by one (1) year when the transfer process is completed.

*For the transfer of a domain name that already has a five (5) year term, one(1) year fee is charged, but a one (1) year extension is not available.

To transfer your domain name to a different registrar, follow these steps:

1. In your control panel, go to “Services → My Domains”.
2. Click the “Info” button to the right of the domain name.
3. In the transfer lock section, select “Unlock the registrar lock so the domain name can be transferred.” to disable the transfer lock.
4. Click the “Show Transfer Authorization Code” box.

To start a transfer, at least 60 days must have passed since the domain name was registered and since it was transferred to its current registrar.
