Accept or decline a transfer to another registrar

When you transfer a domain name to another registrar, you can accept or decline the transfer after you authorize it through your new registrar. Unless you decline the transfer, we automatically transfer the domain name within five days after authorization. However, you might speed up the transfer if you accept it in the Domain Manager.

For more information about the Pending Transfers page in the Domain Manager, see Understanding Pending Transfers in the Domain Manager.

Note: This process is not available for .eu or .de domain names.
