On 25 June we will be replacing the current registrant transfer process with a paperless online version.

Registrant transfer is the process used to transfer a domain name registration between parties.  In order to transfer a domain name and change the legal registrant, we must be satisfied that both parties agree to the transfer and agree to our terms and conditions.

The old system relied on the completion of transfer forms and copies of suitable identification. The new system is based entirely online and can generally be completed in a matter of minutes.

Registrant transfer will be available in the online services account associated with the domain name. Where multiple domain names have been merged into a single account, you can choose options to allow individual or bulk transfers.

This new online service will be launched on 25 June and will cost £10 plus VAT; a qualifying bulk transfer will also be charged at £10 plus VAT. Our existing transfer process will still be available prior to the new online service launching.

If you need any help or have any questions about registrant transfers please contact our Registrant Services team on 01865 332244 or by email nominet@nominet.org.uk.
