Domain transfer policy

Domains can be moved between registrars and between registrants. Every transfer is authorised with a per-domain authorization (EPP) code and confirmed by email from the registrant address on file. Exact steps vary slightly by TLD, since each registry sets its own transfer rules.

1. Unlock the domain and obtain the authorization (EPP) code from your current registrar.
2. Email transfers@oneworlddomains.com with the domain and the code.
3. We verify the code, quote the transfer fee, and confirm the new registrant details.
4. On completion the domain moves to us and, for most TLDs, gains a one-year extension to the term.

To move a domain to another registrar, email transfers@oneworlddomains.com from the registrant address on file and ask for the authorization code. We issue it promptly to the registrant. We will not unreasonably withhold a transfer.

• Most TLDs impose a 60-day transfer lock after registration or a previous transfer.
• A domain that is the subject of a dispute, an unpaid balance, or a valid legal hold will not be released until the matter is resolved.
• You can ask us to keep a domain locked at all other times as an anti-hijacking measure.

A change of ownership (registrant transfer) also requires email confirmation from the current registrant. We may ask for identification where the value or history of a name warrants it.
