We rigorously check the authenticity of any transfer between domain name holders. Nominet carefully checks that the transfer request is genuine and that the correct authority has been given. It is vital, therefore, that registrants ensure that all the information requested on the transfer form is provided correctly in order to avoid delays in processing requests.
The following points are very important when completing a transfer form:
The transfer form has two parts.
An authorised representative of both the current registrant (Transferor) and the proposed registrant (Transferee) must complete their part of the form. The authorised representative must be a Director or Company Secretary in the case of an active UK Limited/Public Limited Company, the appointed insolvency Practitioner, a senior partner in a partnership, the proprietor of an unincorporated business, or the registrant themselves where the domain name is registered to a private individual. We will accept the signature of a senior official for other types of organisations, eg clubs or societies, charities and trade associations.
The proposed new registrant should complete sections six to nine of the transfer form, ensuring that they enter the full legal name of the proposed new registrant, as this information will be recorded on the Nominet UK database.
We are unable to accept transfer forms printed on the reverse of a domain name registration certificate, as these are no longer valid. In order for us to process your transfer you must send a Transfer of Domain Name Registration form.
In order to allow us to issue a Transfer of Domain Name Registration form we will need to know the specific domain name(s) concerned, a contact name and the postal address to which the forms should be issued. You can request a Transfer form by contacting our Registration Services Group at
[email protected] , by fax to (01865) 332295 or by post to Nominet UK, Sandford Gate, Sandy Lane West, Oxford, United Kingdom OX4 6LB.
