Prerequisites for a Successful Domain Transfer

The following requirements should be met before you start your domain transfer:

• Domain must be registered for at least 60 days
  Certain domains must be registered under your name for at least 60 days before they can be transferred to a different provider. This is required by a directive from the ICANN registry and is mandatory for all providers. The sixty-day period applies to the following domain extensions:
  • - Generic Top-Level-Domains: .com / .net /.org / .biz / .info / .name / etc.
  • - New Top-Level Domains: .photo / .web / .online / etc.
• The domain transfer lock must be disabled
  For your safety, generic top-level domains (.com, .net, .org., etc.) are protected by a Domain Transfer Lock by default. Before you start the domain transfer, you must disable this domain transfer lock.
• Contact details (email addresses) for your domain must be up to date
  Correct and current email addresses must be recorded for the domain owner (Reg-C). You can check these using a WHOIS query.
  If necessary, you can check and update the contact details for your domain on the Domains > Privacy and Contact Details page. This generally takes about 24 to 48 hours.
• There must not be a DISPUTE record
  A .de domain with a DISPUTE record cannot be transferred to a third party. In most cases, a DISPUTE record is valid for one year.
