Relaunching your domain name transfer may be needed if it did not go through the first time. Some common reasons for this:
Note:
This operation is free in the large majority of cases. If you are asked to pay again, or if you are unable to relaunch the transfer as indicated below, please contact our customer support for more information1. begin by logging in under the Gandi handle that you used to launch the transfer in the first place.
2. proceed to your "Orders in Progress" page: https://www.gandi.net/admin/domain/orders
You will see your pending transfer in this table. Note: By moving the mouse cursor over the "(view details)" line under "Status" you will see the reason why the transfer failed, such as "Error in authorization key".
3. click on the "Restart transfer" link that corresponds to the domain name that you want to relaunch.
4. you will then be taken to the "Restart your transfer request" page. Simply click on the "Accept" button, and you will be taken to a form where you can add the authorization code:
5. Enter the code that you have been provided by your registrar/reseller.
Note:
You cannot enter "just anything". Each domain name has a unique code attributed to it by the registry, and they check what you provided to what they have in their database. If these do not correspond exactly (they are even case-sensitive), then the registry (Verisign, Pir, etc.) will refuse the transfer again.6. Click on the "Submit" button to relaunch the transfer with the new/correct code.
Your transfer will then be sent to the appropriate registry for verification. The normal transfer time for a gTLD is from 1 to 5 days. Beyond that, please contact our support team for personalized assistance.
Note:
Some registrars will automatically re-block a domain against transfer after a certain time period. If you see in the whois (http://www.whois.gandi.net/whois) that your domain has the status of "Client Transfer Prohibited", then you will need to log into your current registrar account and unblock the domain before relaunching the transfer, or it will be refused by the registry.
