- One verification e-mail with transfer approval link will be send at the registered email address. The registrant has to click on that link and approve the domain transfer request
- After that the domain will be transferred within 4 to 5 business days
Before initiating the domain transfer request one has to make sure that-
- The domain must be 60 days old
