Problem
How long does it take to transfer a domain name between registrars?
Solution
Per ICANN regulations, once the Gaining Registrar has received transfer verification from the registrant or administrative contact for the domain(s), the Registrar of Record has five days to release the domain to the gaining Registrar.
The transfer will automatically complete within the five (5) day waiting period.
NOTE: The five day waiting period begins once the Registrar of Record has been notified of the transfer request by the registry. This typically occurs within 12-24 hours after the transfer has been approved by you or your client.
