How to Transfer Out a Domain in the .uk zone to Another Registrar
Updated over 5 months ago

To successfully transfer your domain name within the .uk zones to another registrar, you'll need to follow these essential steps:

Step 1: Obtain the IPS tag from your new registrar.

The IPS tag is unique to each registrar in the UK and is crucial for the domain transfer process. You should contact your new registrar to get their specific IPS tag.

Step 2: Provide us with the IPS tag.

Once you have received the IPS tag from the new registrar, please write to us in support. We will then initiate the domain transfer process.

Key Considerations for a Smooth Transfer:

  • Transfer Duration: transfers usually occur instantly. Plan ahead for the transfer, especially if your domain is nearing its expiration date.

  • Transfer Confirmation: You may need to confirm the transfer process. Keep an eye on the email associated with your domain name for any instructions that require your action.

  • Domain Lock Status: Ensure that your domain is not locked at your current registrar. If it is locked, you will need to request its unlocking before proceeding with the transfer.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and secure transition of your domain to a new registrar, minimizing any disruptions to your online presence.
