How long does a domain transfer take?

For a transfer to complete, it must be accepted by the administrator. The administrator has a maximum of 5 days to accept the transfer.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO SAY PRECISELY.

For a transfer to complete, it must be accepted by the administrator. The administrator has a maximum of 5 days to accept the transfer.

From the moment the administrator accepts the transfer, some transfers complete in less than an hour while others take 7 days.

That's the range — so we always ask that if you want to transfer a domain, do it with enough time. You should allow at least 7 days for the transfer to complete.

To successfully complete the transfer, keep in mind you'll need two things:

1. The transfer code

2. The domain's administrator must approve the transfer.
