How can I transfer in my domain name(s) to PanaNames from another registrar?

Please follow the steps below:

1. Your domain name(s) shouldn’t be registered or previously transferred in the last 60 days.

2. Ensure that the registrant contact for your domain name has a valid email address in the Whois Database (https://who.is/). Both registrars use this email address to send you important information about the transfer.

Note: If your domain name(s) have a private registration (i.e. Whois Privacy), a service that hides your personal information from the public, please contact your current registrar and inquire if their Privacy service supports email-forward to your email address. If don’t, please disable the Whois Privacy.

3. Unlock your domain name(s) at your current registrar.

4. Obtain Authorization code (other names of it are: AUTHINFO or AUTH) from your current registrar for your domain name(s).

Note: It can be done either in your account or by contacting the Current Registrar.

Transfer of CO.UK, ORG.UK, ME.UK and .UK domain name(s)

In your account at Pananames.com:

1. In the section "Transfers", choose "Transfer in" or go directly to https://domains.pananames.com/domain-transfer:

Note: your domain(s) NameServers will stay as it is together with all Host Records.

In this section there are several columns:

• Domains shows domains transferring in
• Status shows current transfer status

There are several statuses that you can see:
- Paid tells you that domain transfer is paid
- Not ready tells you that domain is not ready for transfer
- Pending Transfer tells you that domain is transfer process
- Completed tells you that domain transfer is completed
- Failed tells you that domain transfer is failed

• Lock shows current lock domain status. It should be OK otherwise the transfer will not take place
  
• >60days shows if 60 days passed from the registration of a domain name. Domain should be older 60 days otherwise the transfer will not take place
  
• Ownership shows if the domain ownership is verified. Domain ownership must be verified otherwise the transfer will not take place
  
• Epp Code shows if the authorization code that you entered is correct. It should be YES otherwise the transfer will not take place

Also on the right side next to EPP CODE column you will a round symbol. By clicking on it you will see additional features:
