Transfers

.AG Domain transfers are possible with an authorisation code which must be requested by the domain owner from the current registrar / provider.

Transfer notes

* An .AG Domain Transfer must be initiated with an authorisation code, which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner or Admin-C of the domain.
*Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD). This can be seen in the WHOIS. If the domain is locked, then the owner can demand that this be unlocked.
*Initiate the transfer on time and not just shortly before the domain expires.
*Please ensure that the domain is older than 60 days otherwise the transfer will be denied.

Transfer time

An .AG transfer usually takes 5 to 10 days
