Transfer

Once the transfer has been triggered in our system, the domain must be pushed into our system.

For more information, please refer to the transfer guide.

After a transfer, our system synchronizes the domain owner from the registry to our system. If possible, you can initiate an owner change if you want to replace the synchronized owner.

Please start the transfer before the old registrar submits the TAG-CHANGE to Nominet.

After initiating a transfer, each contact receives the following instructions in our system:

Dear Domain Contact,

to transfer a .UK domain, please tell your old registrar to submit a TAG-CHANGE to Nominet. The new TAG is: HTTPNET-DE

Shortly after the the old registrar submits the TAG-CHANGE, the transfer will be completed.

Owner change is only supported directly in the registry. You cannot change the owner with our system.
