Domain Transfer Pre-Requisites

In order to transfer your domain to LimeDomains, there are some pre-requisites that need to be done to make sure the process goes smoothly.  These are enumerated as below:

• Verify the Registrant’s contact information and email address for your domain as listed in the Whois database. This email address is used to communicate initial forms of authorization.
• Some registrars offer privacy protection service, which hides your email ID in the Whois search. If this is the case, please make sure your contact details are made public.  Generally, this can be done from your current registrar’s control panel.
• If your domain is in ‘locked’ status (which you can check this from your current registrar’s control panel), you will need to unlock it before starting the transfer process.
• Obtain the authorization code from your current registrar to confirm the transfer request.
• There are some cases where a domain cannot be transferred between registrars. For example,

1.  If you have registered your domain in the last 60 days
2.  If you have transferred your domain in the last 60 days
