why my Domain has not transferred yet?

There are various cases where a Domain Name MAY NOT be transferable to another Registrar. This could happen in the following circumstances:

1. Domain Name is less than 60 days Old - If the domain you are trying to transfer is less than 60 days old, the request will get rejected by the Registry itself. Domain Names less than 60 days old are not allowed to be transferred to any other registrar by ICANN Guidelines

2. Domain Name has been transferred less than 60 days ago - If you have transferred your domain name to less than 60 days back, then it can not be transferred again for a period of 60 days. An exception to this rule is the transfer back to the previous Registrar in cases where both Registrars so agree and/or where a decision in the dispute resolution process so directs.

3. You have Locked your Domain Name - If you have Locked your Domain Name from the Control Panel provided by the current Registrar, then a Transfer Request for that Domain Name will not be allowed. You will first have to unlock the Name from the Control Panel and then proceed with a Transfer Request.

4. Your Registrar has applied a Lock or Hold on your Domain Name - If the current Registrar has applied a Lock or Hold on the domain name due to some pending issue, you would be advised to get in touch with their (current Registrar's) Support Team to resolve this issue, before applying for a transfer.

5. If the domain name is in Redemption Period or in the Pending Delete State, the domain name can not be transferred.


Check if your Domain Name Transfer Status, usually the status is Pending Transfer when it's processing

There can be only 3 Statuses of a domain name that has not yet been transferred :

a. Trying to fetch Admin Contact Email Address:
The system automatically fetches the Admin Contact e-mail address by contacting the Whois Server of the Current Registrar. However, sometimes the Current Registrar's Whois Server does not respond to our request.

b. Transfer waiting for Admin Contact Approval:
Upon initiating a Transfer, The system sends an e-mail to the Admin Contact of the domain name as appearing in the Whois Server of the Current Registrar.

In case the Admin Contact does not receive the Transfer Request in an hour after placing a transfer, you may resend the Transfer Request

IMPORTANT

There might be instances where the Admin Contact Email Address was changed after the transfer request was placed. In such a case, when Resending Authorization Request would NOT send the mail to the new Email address. To send the Email to the new address, the current transfer needs to be failed and a fresh transfer order needs to be placed.

Sometimes, it may be possible that the Admin Contact has still not received an e-mail sent by the system, due to any of several problems including network blockages, spam filters, etc.. To circumvent such a situation, you may send the Transfer Form by fax

Wait for 5 days for the Administrative Contact to approve the Transfer. If the Administrative Contact remains silent (neither approves or disapproves the transfer), assume that the Administrative Contact does not wish to transfer his domain name.
