Use this when the domain is registered through Cloudflare Registrar. Cloudflare manages transfers from the domain's registrar configuration area.
Before you start
- Make sure the domain is eligible to transfer. Many registrars block transfers for 60 days after registration, transfer, or some contact changes.
- Make sure the registrant/admin email address is current and accessible. Transfer approval and auth-code messages usually go there.
- Unlock the domain at the current registrar.
- Get the authorization code, EPP code, auth code, or transfer key from the current registrar.
- If the site is already live, review DNS before checkout. Nameserver/DNS changes can be limited while a transfer is active.
- Do not cancel the old account or hosting until the transfer and DNS are confirmed working.
Unlock the domain and copy the Cloudflare auth code
- Sign in to Cloudflare.
- Open the Registrar area and choose Manage Domains.
- Select Manage for the domain you are moving.
- Go to Configuration > Unlock.
- Confirm the unlock and copy the auth code generated by Cloudflare.
