How do I transfer a domain in?

Transferring a domain in takes a few steps on both sides — some prep at your current registrar, then a short flow inside Lynqly. Before you start, make sure the domain is unlocked, WHOIS privacy is off, and you have the EPP (authorization) code in hand. You will also need a payment method on file in Lynqly, because the transfer fee is charged at submission. The exact price depends on your domain's extension (TLD) and is shown before you confirm.

1. Log in to your current registrar and remove the transfer lock (sometimes called the registrar lock or domain lock).
2. Disable WHOIS privacy protection at the current registrar if it is turned on — leaving it on can block the authorization email the registry sends.
3. Request the EPP code (also called the auth code or transfer key) from your current registrar. They are required to provide it.
4. In Lynqly, open the transfer-in flow and enter your domain name. Lynqly will check whether your TLD is eligible for transfer.
5. Enter the EPP code, review the transfer price for your specific TLD, and confirm with a payment method on file. The charge processes at this step.
6. Watch your inbox for a confirmation or authorization email from the registry or your current registrar. If one arrives, approve it promptly — delays here slow the overall transfer.
7. Check transfer status in your Lynqly account. If the confirmation email never arrived, use the resend option on the transfer status screen. If you realize you entered the wrong EPP code, you can correct it on an in-progress transfer without starting over.
8. Once the registry approves the transfer, the domain will show as active in your account.
