A Domain (Transfer) Secret or Authorization (Auth) Code is a code assigned by the Registrar at the time the domain name was Registered.
This Domain (Transfer) Secret acts like a password for a domain name, ensuring that only the owner of the domain can Transfer their domain name.

• .AU

• .BIZ

• .CO

• .COM

• .COM.DE

• .COOP

• .DE

     • .UK: No special character. Only alphanumeric characters permitted.

     • .WS: & '

   • In case of a .COM, .NET, .WS domain names the Domain Secret field may be blank. In order to set it, provide a new Domain (Transfer)
     Secret in the textbox and click the Update Domain Secret button.

   • In order to set a new Domain (Transfer) Secret / Authorization Code for a .EU domain name, you need to click the Fetch Latest Token button.

     Note

     • Authorization Code for a .EU domain name will have the format XXXX-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC where XXXX is a plain-text identifier of the current Registrar, and AAAA, BBBB and CCCC are blocks of 4 random characters (letters and digits) separated by dashes.

     • The Authorization Code is generated upon request from the Registrar and is valid for a period of 40 days. Each time the code is requested, a new one will be generated on the spot, replacing the previous one and remaining valid for 40 days.

     • Requests submitted during the first day (24 hours from the moment of first request) of the validity period of the code will not result in a new code being generated. The request will return the same code with the same remaining validity period.

       Example:

       The first request for an Authorization Code is made on 15 Dec 2012 11.00 AM GMT. An Authorization Code will be generated with a validity of 40 days. All further requests for the code within the next 24 hours (16 Dec 2012 11.00 AM GMT) will return the same code with the same remaining validity period. Requests after the initial 24 hours will return a fresh Authorization Code.

     • Authorization Code associated with a .EU domain name will become invalid immediately after use.

   • In order to set a new Domain (Transfer) Secret / Authorization Code for a .NL domain name, you need to click the Fetch Latest Token button.

     Domain (Transfer) Secret. Clicking the same will generate a new Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) automatically.

   • In case of a .SHABAKA domain name, the Domain (Transfer) Secret must be between 8 - 32 printable ASCII characters with at least a punctuation, letter and a digit.

   • Once a domain name having an associated Domain (Transfer) Secret / Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) is Transferred
     to from another Registrar, a new Domain (Transfer) Secret / Unique Domain Authentication ID
     (UDAI) is set for such a domain name. This process is implemented from a security perspective.

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 name you are trying to Transfer was registered less than 60 days ago, the request will
   get rejected by the Registry itself.

   of a previous Transfer.

   Example:

   A domain name can not be transferred from Registrar B to Registrar C, if it has been transferred to Registrar B from Registrar A within the last 60 days.
