If you no longer require your domain name, you may wish to transfer it to another party. 

Nominet charges £10 plus VAT to make a transfer.  This fee is set on a cost recovery basis and is reviewed every six months. Following the most recent review it has been reduced from £30 plus VAT.  As Nominet charges to cover the service provided, once investigation has commenced, no refunds are available if the transfer does not take place.

More information on chargeable transfers is available.  There are also a variety of changes that can be made to the legal registrant's details that do not incur a charge.

To transfer a domain name, both parties will need to complete a transfer form and send us a confirmatory letter. If the registrant is an individual, please also attach a recent utility bill addressed to the individual at their home address, or a copy of photo ID that confirms their home address, eg. driving licence.

Nominet reserves the right not to transfer a domain name if the correct authority has not been obtained from either party.  The transfer fees will not be refunded if a request is subsequently found to lack the correct authority. 

If you have three or more domain names to transfer at the same time, please check whether they are eligible to be processed as a 'mass transfer'.

We are unable to accept transfer forms printed on the reverse of a domain name registration certificate, as these are no longer valid.  In order for us to process your transfer you must send a Transfer of Domain Name Registration form.
