Sometimes the transfer of your domain name gets denied and it generally happens due to some technical issues such as when the domain name is locked, invalid authentication code, domain name is under dispute, etc. it’s important to understand why it happened and how you can address the issue. Here are some common reasons for domain transfer denials and what you can do in each case.
Domain Name Is Locked – Your domain name is locked by you for security reasons. This issue can be easily resolved by logging into your domain account and unlocking your domain.
Sixty-Day Lock Period Is Active – Your domain was registered or transferred less than 60 days ago. ICANN doesn’t allow registrars to process domain transfers within sixty days of those events. This is no problem as your domain transfer is automatically processed as soon as your 60-day lock is lifted.
Missing Authorization Code – Your transferred domain is missing the authorization code. You can get your auth code from your current registrar, generally, it is emailed to you to your email address. Get it and then enter it into your Sangkrit.net account –
- Log in to your Sangkrit.net
- Select Transfers In
- Select the Finalize Transfer tab
- Find the domain by using the search box
- Enter your authorization code(s) in the new window
- Select Enter Auth Codes above the list of your domains, OR
- Or, select Enter in the Auth Code column for an individual domain
- Select Submit to save your changes
You’ll see confirmation that your changes have been accepted. Domain transfers usually take 5 to 7 days to complete.
Invalid Auth Code – This happens when the authorization code you have entered for your domain transfer is invalid. Simply verify the correct auth code with your current registrar and enter it into your Sangkrit.net account following the same steps that are given above.
Registrant Eligibility Is Unverified – Some domain names have special eligibility requirements for registration and transfers. Contact the online support of Sangkrit.net to get help in this regard.
Registry Is Lock: Your domain name is locked at the registry level. Here, your present domain registrar will need to remove the lock for you.
So review your domain transfer issue, check it with your registrar to resolve any problems, and then restart your domain name transfer again by following these steps –
- Log in to your Sangkrit.net
- Select Transfers In
- Select the Restart Transfer tab
