How to Transfer Your Domain to UMVA

Follow these simple steps for a smooth transfer

1

Unlock Your Domain

Log in to your current registrar's control panel and disable the registrar lock / transfer lock on your domain. This is usually found in the domain settings or security section. The domain must remain unlocked throughout the transfer process.

2

Get Your EPP Code

Request the EPP/Authorization code (also called an Auth Code or Transfer Key) from your current registrar. This unique code acts as your domain's password and is required to authorize the transfer. It is typically sent via email or available in your registrar dashboard.

3

Initiate the Transfer

Visit our transfer page, enter your domain name and the EPP code you obtained. Choose your desired TLD and proceed to checkout. The transfer fee includes a free 1-year extension added to your current expiration date. Complete your payment to start the process.

4

Approve the Transfer

An email will be sent to the domain's registrant email address requesting approval of the transfer. You must click the approval link within the specified time frame to authorize the move. If you do not receive the email, check your spam folder or contact your current registrar.

5

Wait for Completion

Domain transfers typically complete within 5–7 days, as required by ICANN. Your domain's DNS continues to work throughout the process — there is no downtime. You will receive a confirmation email once the transfer is finalized and your domain is fully managed by UMVA.

Domain Transfer FAQs

Common questions about transferring domains to UMVA

Transfer Basics

A domain transfer is the process of moving your domain name from one registrar to another. When you transfer your domain to UMVA, you retain full ownership of the domain and control over its settings. The transfer simply changes which company manages your domain registration. The transfer adds 1 year to your domain's expiration date and all your existing DNS records continue working throughout the process with zero downtime.

Domain transfers typically complete within 5–7 days, as mandated by ICANN. The timeline depends on several factors: how quickly you approve the transfer email, the responsiveness of your current registrar, and the specific TLD policies. Most transfers complete within the standard 5-day window. Your domain continues to resolve normally throughout the entire process.

No, absolutely not. Your domain's DNS settings remain intact throughout the transfer process. Your website, email, and any other services tied to your domain will continue to function normally. There is no downtime associated with transferring your domain name. You can also pre-configure your DNS settings with UMVA before the transfer completes for a seamless transition.

Transfer Requirements & Restrictions

An EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) code, also known as an Auth Code, Authorization Code, or Transfer Key, is a unique code assigned to your domain by your current registrar. It serves as a security measure to prevent unauthorized transfers. Think of it as a password for your domain that you must provide to authorize the transfer to UMVA. You can obtain this code from your current registrar's control panel or by contacting their support team.

ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) requires all new domain registrations and recent transfers to be at least 60 days old before they can be transferred again. This policy was implemented to prevent domain theft and reduce fraudulent transfers. If you recently registered or transferred your domain, you may need to wait until the 60-day period has passed before initiating a transfer to UMVA.

Domains must not expire within 15 days of initiating a transfer. If your domain is close to expiration, we recommend renewing it at your current registrar first, then starting the transfer. The transfer will add 1 year to the new expiration date, so you won't lose any time. Some registrars may also block transfers on domains that are within the grace or redemption period, so it is best to renew first.

If you do not approve the transfer within the required time frame (typically 5–7 days), the transfer request will automatically be cancelled and your domain will remain with your current registrar. You will need to start the process again if you still wish to transfer. Be sure to check the email address associated with your domain registration and click the approval link promptly. Check your spam folder if you don't see the email.

After the Transfer

Yes, your DNS settings are preserved during the transfer. However, for full control and management, we recommend reviewing and updating your DNS records in your UMVA dashboard after the transfer completes. You can configure A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records easily. If you are also using our hosting services, we can help point your domain to your hosting account for seamless integration.

After the transfer is complete, your domain will appear in your UMVA dashboard under "My Domains." You can renew it directly from there — either manually or by enabling auto-renewal. We send reminder emails before your domain is due for renewal. Since each transfer includes a free 1-year extension, you won't need to worry about renewal for a full year from the transfer date.

Yes, you can cancel a transfer request before it is completed by your current registrar. Simply contact our support team and we can assist you with the cancellation. If the transfer has already been approved and processed by the registry, it cannot be reversed. Transfers are non-refundable once completed, as the 1-year extension fee has been paid to the registry. Please review your transfer details carefully before proceeding.
