Domain Transfers: How long do they tend to take?

.AU transfers tend to take 48 hours, while other TLDs can take 5-10 business days to finalise.


We lodge domain transfer requests immediately, and send you updates as they occur.

Sometimes, transfers can take an excessively long time where policies or legacy systems are in-place.
Where this is the case, our team may choose to dedicate time to staying on top of the registrar for you.

Note: .UK transfers are different, and require you to "push" the domain to us via a tag.
Please check your order emails if you've ordered a .UK as we explain how to tackle this.

Our team are here to help - please contact our Domains team directly for professional help.
