Private: Espresso Manual: 2.6 Transferring Domains

espresso-transferring-domains

This feature allows the gaining registrar to make an inbound domain transfer request, for instance when a registrant wants to change providers.

Input the domain and auth code (visible to the registrant and losing registrar; the registrant would provide the auth code to the gaining registrar). The function then sends an EPP transfer request. The EPP server sends email notifications to the losing registrar, registrant, TLD administrator, and gaining registrar. Poll messages are also added.

If a valid auth code is specified then the transfer goes straight through. If not the existing registrar must approve or reject the request. The requests have 2 weeks to be resolved, otherwise they are dropped from the system.

If no auth code is provided the losing registrar must log into their account, search on the domain, and click the RESOLVE TRANSFER Action button in order to complete the transfer request.
