Transfer your domain to ilDominio.it

How to transfer your domain: 4 steps

1. Obtain the code: for a .it domain, AuthInfo is issued by the Registrar at registration; for gTLDs covered by ICANN policy, if it is not available through self-service, the Registrar must provide it within 5 calendar days of the request.
2. Remove locks where required: some gTLDs require the transfer lock to be disabled. If the Registrar does not offer self-service unlocking, ICANN policy requires removal within 5 calendar days of the registrant's request.
3. Start the order: enter the domain, complete payment and provide any required documents. Submission to the Registry can start when the order, code and details are correct.
4. Confirm where required: some extensions or Registrars send an authorisation email, so this step depends on the registrant's response time. Once submitted to the Registry, the times below apply.

When is a domain transfer unavailable?

A transfer may be blocked by an incorrect code, lock or redemption status, a dispute or missing confirmations. For gTLDs covered by ICANN policy, the Registrar may deny a transfer within 60 days of creation or a previous transfer. A 60-day lock may also apply after a change of registrant, taking account of any opt-out offered by the Registrar. These restrictions are not a universal rule for .it domains.

How long does it take?

For a .it domain, after a valid request to the Registry, pendingTransfer status lasts no more than one day; the former Registrar can approve earlier or object only in the permitted cases. For gTLDs covered by ICANN policy, transfer completes within 5 calendar days of the request to the Registry, unless approved earlier or denied on permitted grounds. Add the time needed to obtain the code, remove any locks, complete the order and respond to confirmations. Sources: .it Registry and ICANN Transfer Policy.

Will my website and email stay active?

Changing Registrar alone does not automatically change nameservers and can leave your website and email running. Continuity must be planned if DNS, hosting or email services change: keep a copy of your data and agree on the required settings before transferring.
