Preparation Steps

Before initiating a domain transfer, ensure the following conditions are met:

  • The domain has been registered for at least 60 days
  • The domain is not expired or within 15 days of expiration
  • You have access to the email associated with the domain's registrant contact
  • Privacy protection is temporarily disabled (if enabled)
  • You have a Zeed.codes account

Note: Domain transfers typically add one year to your domain's expiration date, with some TLD-specific exceptions.

Unlock Your Domain

Disable the transfer lock at your current registrar to allow the transfer.

  1. Log in to your current registrar's account

    Access the domain management section.

  2. Locate domain settings

    Look for options related to transfer or domain lock.

  3. Disable the transfer lock

    This option might be labeled as Transfer/Domain/Registrar Lock.

Obtain Authorization Code

An authorization (EPP) code is required to authorize the transfer:

  1. Request the authorization code

    In your current registrar's control panel.

  2. Receive the code

    It may be displayed or emailed to you.

  3. Copy the code securely

    Store it safely for the transfer process.

Important: Authorization codes are case-sensitive and may expire after 5–14 days.

Start the transfer in your Zeed.codes dashboard:

  1. Log in

    Go to the client dashboard.

  2. Select “Transfer Domain”

    Click the Transfer Domain option.

Approve the Transfer

Approval is required after initiating the transfer:

  1. Check your email

    Your current registrar will send an approval email.

  2. Approve the transfer

    Follow the email instructions to approve.

  3. Wait for processing

    Typically completes within 5–7 days.

Tip: Some registrars auto-approve if no action is taken within 5 days.

DNS Configuration

Set up required DNS records after transfer completes:
