Domain Name Transfer Process

For Transactions without an Escrow Agent

Once payment for a domain name has been made and confirmed the domain name transfer process can be started. This involves the seller of the domain name unlocking the domain name, removing any privacy protection service from the domain name, and obtaining the authorization code from the Registrar. After the authorization code is obtained the seller will email the code to the Buyer. The Buyer will then initiate a transfer request from the registrar of their choice. After the transfer request is started an email will be sent to the Administrative Contact Email address on file for the domain name. After the seller opens the email and confirms the transfer request it will take approximately 3 to 5 days for the domain name to be transferred into the Buyer’s domain name management account at the gaining Registrar.

Simple steps for a successful transfer process using Escrow.com:

  1. Once Escrow.com has received payment from the Buyer for a domain name, FindYourDomain.com is contacted in order to coordinate the domain name transfer process.
  2. FindYourDomain.com will give the Buyer the authorization code and instruct the Buyer to initiate a transfer request.
  3. The Seller will approve the transfer request and the domain will be transferred to the Buyer’s account in 3 to 5 days.
  4. After the Buyer confirms with Escrow.com that the domain name has successfully been transferred, Escrow.com will disburse the funds to the Seller.

Instances when a domain transfer is unsuccessful:

  1. Domain is associated in a legal dispute
  2. The Registrar-lock has not been turned off
  3. Domain is still using privacy protection service
  4. The authorization code generated by the Seller is incorrect
  5. Domain is in the process of being deleted and/or has expired
  6. Domain name is on a 60-day registrar lock (it has changed Registrars in the past 60 days)
  7. The Seller fails to approve the transfer request

Escrow Process

An Escrow agent is the safest and most effective way to conduct a domain name transaction. By using an Escrow agent both the buyer’s funds and the seller’s domain name are protected by using a trusted intermediary party. The overall process may take anywhere from 3 to 10 business days depending on a variety of factors including when payment is received, how long is takes Seller to generate the authorization code, etc…

The Escrow.com Process

  1. FindYourDomain.com starts the domain name transaction online at Escrow.com
  2. Escrow.com will email the Buyer with a request to sign up for an Escrow.com account and link to the terms & conditions of the transaction.
  3. After the Buyer agrees to the terms & conditions the Buyer is responsible for sending a payment to Escrow.com which includes both the purchase price and the Escrow.com fee (less than 2% of the total transaction amount).
  4. Once Escrow.com has received the full payment, they will inform FindYourDomain.com to start the process of a domain name transfer.
  5. FindYourDomain.com will notify the the Seller to unlock the domain name at the registrar level, remove privacy protection from the domain name (if on), and obtain the authorization code.
  6. The Seller will then email the authorization code to the Buyer
  7. The Buyer will initiate a domain name transfer request at their Registrar
  8. After the request has been made, the Seller will receive an email asking for their approval.
  9. After the Seller approves the domain name request the domain name will be transferred into the Buyer’s domain management account within 5 business days.
  10. After the Buyer receives the domain name the Buyer will notify Escrow.com and Escrow.com will release the proceeds from the sale
