Requirements
In order to proceed with a transfer, the domain name’s owner must send a request form for modification of the maintainer to the registry.

Different stages
Once your order has been confirmed, we will send you a form to request the modification of the maintainer (the registrar) for NETIM-MNT. This document has to be signed by the owner and sent directly to the registry by the way of his choice.


The request will not be accepted by the registry if the document is not provided or not valid.


  • In the event of acceptance by the registry, the transfer is carried out.
  • In the event of refusal, a valid form has to be provided and so on

 

The full transfer procedure can therefore take several days because of the paperwork.

Once the transfer has been finalised, the domain name's expiration date is extended for a one year period starting from the date of the end of transfer. For example, if the domain expires on the 12/31/2008 and if the transfer is carried out on the 09/15/2008, the new expiration date will then be the 09/15/2009.

  Important information

  • Deadline for transfer: 2 weeks before expiration of your domain name
  • Ideal date for transfer: 4 weeks before expiration of your domain name
  • The current registrar for your domain name may not oppose the transfer to NETIM, given that only the owner has the right to confirm the transfer with the form
