However, you are free to transfer the domain from the 61st day. If your domain is eligible, the next step is to verify your contact details and make sure they are accurate and up to date. This is important as both your current and new registrar will contact you during the transfer process. Any missing information could delay or cause the transfer to be rejected. The next preparatory step is to unlock the domain. Registrars usually lock domains to prevent unauthorized transfers.
