There may be cases where you wish to transfer your Domain Names away from Gossimer, to another Registrar. The following process will assist you in ensuring a smooth Transfer of your Domain Name to the Registrar of your choice.
IMPORTANT
- In case of a Domain Name Transfer, the Expiry date is updated to 1 year from the date of Transfer and not to 1 year from the date the domain name was set to expire prior to Transfer.
For example, if a Domain Name has the Expiry date as 24 Oct, 2007 and it gets Transferred to another Registrar on 2 Sep, 2007. The new Expiry date will be 2 Sep, 2008 and not 24 Oct, 2008.
- If you have placed Registration/Renewal Order for multiple years and you decide to have the Domain Name Transferred Away from Gossimer to another Registrar, while your Domain Name is still valid for one or more years with respect to the Order you had placed initially, you stand to forfeit the number of years remaining. Also there would be no refund provided for payment made for this unutilized Domain Name validity term.
Examples:
I. Multiple Year Registration
a. You choose to register yourdomain.eu for 4 years on 26-Aug-2006.
b. Gossimer will set the Expiry date of yourdomain.eu as 26-Aug-2010 in our System.
c. Now on 1-Aug-2007, if you decide to have the Domain Name Transferred Away, the new Expiry date after Transfer will be 1-Aug-2008. The three years unutilized in the Domain Name validity term with respect to the 4 years Registration Order placed initially by you will not be considered. Also, there would not be any refund for the payment made by you for the 3 unutilized years.
II. Multiple Year Renewal
a. You choose to renew your-other-domain.eu for 4 years on 26-Aug-2006.
b. Gossimer will set the Expiry date of your-other-domain.eu as 26-Aug-2010 in our System.
c. Now on 1-Aug-2007, if you decide to have the Domain Name Transferred Away, the new Expiry date after Transfer will be 1-Aug-2008. The three years unutilized in the Domain Name validity term with respect to the 4 years Registration Order placed initially by you will not be considered. Also, there would not be any refund for the payment made by you for the 3 unutilized years.

Step 2: Apply for the Transfer at the New Registrar
Once you have determined whether a Domain Name can be transferred, you will need to apply for the Transfer at the Registrar of your choice. Please refer to the New Registrars Transfer Process for the same. They will have certain steps to verify your identity and then place the Transfer Request on your behalf.
Step 3: Respond to confirmation Mail sent from the Registry
In order to ensure that it is indeed an Authorized Person who has placed the Transfer request, the Registrant Contact for the Domain Name will receive an e-mail from the Registry for the Transfer Authorization process, which needs to be approved within 7 days. The Registry provides an additional grace period of 7 days for approval, in case the Transfer was not approved within the initial 7 day period. The authorization can also be provided through a fax to the Registry from the Registrant Contact. The request is processed once the Registry receives approval from the Registrant.

IMPORTANT
The process listed below can be initiated only from within the Customer Control Panel, since the Customer is considered to be the owner of the domain name.
Once you have determined whether your .UK Domain Name can be Transferred, you need to initiate the outbound Transfer at Gossimer:
- Login to your Control Panel, search for the .UK Domain Name that you wish to Transfer away and go to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>
- Click the Release/Transfer-Out button in the lower toolbar.
- You need to provide the Tag of the New Registrar to whom you wish to Transfer your .UK Domain Name. A Tag is an alphanumeric string used to identify a .UK Registrar. The Tag can be obtained by contacting the New Registrar/Service Provider under whom you wish to have your domain name Transferred.
- Proceed further to initiate the Transfer away process.
You will receive a notification via email from Gossimer, once your .UK Domain Name has been successfully Transferred to the New Registrar.

Once you have confirmed the Transfer with the New Registrar, we would receive an intimation about this Transfer. We would then be sending an email to the Registrant and Administrative Contacts of the Domain Name, informing them that a request for Transfer of this Domain Name has been placed with the New Registrar and if they do not wish to Transfer their Domain Name to this New Registrar, they should click on the Cancel Transfer Link within 5 days.
If the Registrant or Administrative Contact does not click on the Cancel Transfer Link, the Domain Name will get Transferred to the New Registrar, in 5 days, from you having approved the Transfer at the New Registrar.
