The transfer process may vary depending on the registrar you choose. **Please note:** - When a transfer request is initiated, a confirmation email is sent notifying the domain owner. - If you don't explicitly disagree with the transfer within 5 days, it will be acknowledged. - To confirm or deny the transfer, reply to the authorization form in the confirmation email. - If both the domain owner and the Admin contact agree to the transfer, it will be completed immediately.

**Important:** If the domain is unprotected (unlocked), any incoming transfer request will be acknowledged if you don't respond to explicitly disagree. Therefore, it is highly recommended to keep your domains protected.

### I Can't Request AUTH-ID or Unlock the Domain. Why? --- The most common reason for this issue is a lack of permissions. It is likely that your account only has an [Admin role](https://joker.com/faq/books/jokercom-faq-en/page/roles-and-permissions) for the domain, which does not allow you to transfer the domain. You can verify this by checking the [Domain Management](https://joker.com/faq/books/jokercom-faq-en/page/domain-management-section) section: ![](https://joker.com/faq/uploads/images/gallery/FAQ_media/Transfer/transfer_out-4.png) If this is indeed the case, please contact the domain owner (creator) to coordinate the transfer. More information about roles can be found [here](https://joker.com/faq/books/jokercom-faq-en/page/roles-and-permissions). Another possible reason for being **unable to unlock the domain** is if it is currently **suspended:** ![](https://joker.com/faq/uploads/images/gallery/FAQ_media/Transfer/transfer_out-5.png) There are several common causes for domain suspension: - Domain has expired - Domain is under dispute - Domain is younger than **60 days** and can not yet be transferred - Domain is in **a 60-day lock period** after the last transfer, and can not yet be transferred - Domain is in **a 60-day lock period** after the last COR (Change of Registrant) procedure, and can not yet be transferred If you encounter any issues during the transfer, please don't hesitate to contact us at **
