Transfer a domain in

A transfer moves who the name is registered through. The site and the mail carry on working throughout.

## Before you start

The domain has to be unlocked at the current registrar, and for most extensions you need an authorisation code from them. A name registered or transferred in the last sixty days cannot be moved again yet.

## How long it takes

Five days for most extensions, because the losing registrar is given that long to object. A `.uk` name moves in minutes, because it is done by changing a tag rather than by a transfer.

## What it costs

A transfer adds a year to the expiry date and is charged at the transfer price for that extension.
