When you attempt to transfer a domain registered with an external company over to IMOMA TECH's management, the process might fail if the domain is not properly prepared[cite: 1]. For global security reasons, registrars enable a native protection called Transfer Lock (Registrar Lock).
What is a Domain Transfer Lock?
This is a security feature designed to prevent malicious users or third parties from stealing your domain name or moving it to another registrar without your explicit authorization. When this lock is enabled, the domain's official ICANN status shows as clientTransferProhibited.
How to prepare your domain for transfer (Step-by-Step):
- Log in to the dashboard of the company where your domain is currently registered (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.)[cite: 1].
- Navigate to the security or management settings of the domain you wish to move[cite: 1].
- Look for the option named Sharing & Transfer, Registrar Lock, or Domain Lock and turn it OFF / Disabled.
- On the same page, look for the option to request your Authorization Code (Auth-Code, EPP Code, or Transfer Secret)[cite: 1]. This string acts as a unique password that validates the transfer[cite: 1].
- Copy the generated EPP code and verify that your domain's registrant contact email is up to date and fully accessible.
What to do next?
With the domain unlocked and the EPP code in hand, visit our store section Transfer In a Domain, input your domain name, and paste the authorization key to launch the automated process[cite: 1]. The transfer typically takes between 5 to 7 business days to be officially completed by the registry registry.
