First, you need to check if your domain meets transfer requirements, then you need to get your authorization code, and finally, submit your domain for transfer. You can find out more information in our article, How to transfer a domain.

The 60-day is an ICANN policy to help prevent domain hijacking when transferring between two registrars. Read more about this in our Canceled transfers article.

If you want to move your domain to another Namecheap account, you can choose to Change Ownership.

Please be aware that domain ownership change is final, and if you want to get your domain back, you must contact the new owner to reverse this action.

It’s easy! Just head to your Namecheap account and follow the instructions on our Transfer statuses article to track your move.

It usually takes between 30 minutes and six days for the transfer to complete. Our blog post How long does a domain transfer take?, has lots of information on domain transfer time.

A transfer request may be denied for various reasons, such as if there is evidence of fraud, a dispute over who the domain registrant is, or if the requirements are not met.

Terms and conditions

Domain Transfers

After transfer completion, a 1-year renewal will be added to the top-level domains (TLDs) that are mandated by ICANN or the corresponding registry to be renewed. .im, .co.im, .org.im, .net.im, .com.im, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk TLDs will not be renewed.
All .ai transfers to Namecheap come with a 2-year renewal on completion.
ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) charges a mandatory annual fee of $0.20 for each domain registration, renewal or transfer. This will be added to the listed price for some domains, at the time of purchase. See full list of affected domains.
You'll receive a domain privacy subscription FREE with every eligible domain registration or transfer. Your subscription is provided by Withheld for Privacy and the services agreement it holds with Namecheap. Terms and conditions apply. Visit the Whois privacy service agreement page for further details.
Due to the registry restrictions, domain privacy is unavailable for a handful of TLDs. Check the Domain Privacy page to see the full list.
If you have renewed your domain within the last 45 days: The one-year extension normally added to the domain during a transfer may not be included. This situation occurs only if the domain actually expired before you renewed it with your previous registrar. If this is the case with your domain, we recommend you wait to move your domain until the 45-day period has passed, allowing you to take advantage of the extra year added.
