Domain Transfer – Status Messages Print

  • 2

Auto verification of transfer request initiated

Verification email sent to registrant and/or admin contact, but not yet verified

What to do:
Have the domain owner at the losing registrar check their email (including their spam folder) for the verification email, and approve the transfer.

If the email address on record at the losing registrar is incorrect, cancel the transfer order through control panel, correct the email address in the losing registrar’s Whois, and submit a new transfer request following the same process.

If you are unable to change the email address at the losing registrar, use the fax transfer method when you submit the new transfer order.

 

Awaiting auto verification of transfer request

We have received your transfer request and are obtaining the current Whois information in order to generate the verification email.

What to do:
No action needed.

 

Canceled – cannot obtain domain contacts from UWhois

The losing registrar blocked Whois queries for more than a week, so the transfer request automatically canceled.

What to do:
Submit a new transfer request.

 

Canceled – domain contacts did not approve transfer of domain

Transfer failed: the Registrant or Administrative contact rejected transfer.

What to do:
Resolve the issues that caused the Registrant or Admin contact to reject the transfer (the contacts of record at the losing registrar), and then submit a new transfer order.

 

Canceled – domain contacts did not respond to verification emails

The transfer was canceled because neither the Registrant nor the Admin contact responded to verification emails

What to do:
Correct the domain’s Whois information at the losing registrar, submit a new transfer order, and respond to the verification emails.

What to do:
If the domain name is locked at the losing registrar, contact the registrar and request lock removal, then submit a new transfer request.

If the domain name was registered fewer than 60 days ago, wait until the domain is older than 60 days, then submit a new transfer request.

Canceled – Invalid EPP/authorization information – Please contact current registrar to obtain correct key
