Understanding .EU Domain Transfer Status

Understanding the Status of a .EU Domain Name Transfer/Trade

Upon successfully placing a .EU Transfer/Trade Request (i.e., after you have paid for the same), your domain name's Transfer/Trade action will be initiated.

You can track the Status of your domain name's Transfer/Trade by following the steps below:

1. Login to your domain management Control Panel.
2. Search for the domain name for which you have placed the Transfer/Trade Request and proceed to the Order Details view.
3. Note the Action Requested and the Status of the Action. The various Statuses of a domain name that has not yet been Transferred/Traded are described below:

Initiating Trade Request

Once the Transfer/Trade order has been executed, the Status of the Transfer/Trade Order is displayed as Initiating Trade Request. This is the stage where the Transfer/Trade Request has not yet been forwarded to the Registry by the system.

Trade waiting for Confirmation

Once the system forwards the Transfer/Trade Request to the Registry, the Status of the Transfer/Trade order is displayed as Trade waiting for Confirmation.

Note:

• In case of a Transfer, the Registry will send an Authorization Request to the Registrant of the domain name.
• In case of a Trade, the authorization request is sent to the Current as well as the New Registrant.
• All the concerned parties have to approve the action within 14 days.
• If the Transfer/Trade is not authorized within 14 days, the authorization needs to be provided through a fax to the Registry. The Status of the Transfer/Trade will continue to be displayed as Trade waiting for Confirmation throughout this period.

Trade Request Approved

The Status of the Transfer/Trade will be shown as Trade Request Approved once the Registrant(in case of a Transfer) or Current as well as New Registrant provide the necessary authorization.

Order Locked In Processing

If the domain name is being transferred from another Registrar, the system will create .EU Contacts having the same information as existing at the Current Registrar and associate these Contacts with the transferred domain name. The system will display the Status Order Locked in Processing while all such internal processes are being carried out.
