There are various cases where a domain name may not be transferable to another Registrar. This could happen in the following circumstances:
- Domain name is less than 60 days old: If the domain name you are trying to Transfer was registered less than 60 days ago, the request will get rejected by the Registryitself.
- Domain name has been transferred less than 60 days ago: A domain name cannot be transferred to another Registrar within 60 days of a previous Transfer.
Example: A domain name cannot be transferred from Registrar B to Registrar C, if it has been transferred to Registrar B from Registrar A within the last 60 days.
Note: An exception to this rule is, the Transfer back to the previous Registrar in cases where both Registrars so agree and/or where a decision in the dispute resolution process so directs. - Theft Protection / Lock / Suspension has been applied on your domain name: If Theft Protection / Lock / Suspension has been applied on your domain name at the Current Registrar, then a Transfer for that domain name to another Registrar will not be allowed. You will first have to disable Theft Protection / Lock / Suspension for the domain name and then proceed with a Transfer.
- Privacy Protection has been enabled on your domain name: If you have enabled Privacy Protection for your domain name, then you need to disable it, before trying to transfer it.
- Domain name is in the Redemption Grace Period or in the Pending Delete status: If the domain name is in either of these statuses, it cannotbe transferred.
