Transfer-related questions

Transferring your domain **away** from Gandi

You will need to see with the gaining registrar with regards to their transfer procedure. For the most popular extensions, all that you need to to at Gandi is to obtain your authorization code, and be sure that your domain is not locked against transfer.

Note:

Transfers are handled by the gaining (new) registrar. In the event of a problem transferring a domain away from Gandi, you will need to contact the support of the domain's new registrar.

Preparation

Important:

After a domain name is transferred away from Gandi, and to your new registrar, you will still see the domain in your list of domains for one week. This is simply because you can continue to use our DNS during this period. It does not mean that you can manage your domain via our interface: that can only be done at your new registrar.
1) Note: Authorization codes only concern domains that use the conventional EPP system [.com, .net, .org, .info, etc.]. The majority of ccTLDs [like .fr, .eu., .co.uk…] use other systems.
