There are two ways to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another. By choosing the right one, you can save yourself and the subscriber unnecessary work and additional waiting before the transfer is completed.

Transfer using a transfer code

The EPP command you use to transfer the domain over to you is transfer op=”execute”.

<transfer op="execute">
        <domain:transfer xmlns:domain=....etc.>
          <domain:name>eksempeldomene.no</domain:name>
          <domain:authInfo>
            <domain:pw>MyZecret123</domain:pw>
          </domain:authInfo>
        </domain:transfer>
</transfer>

Transfer using a one-time code

You have to request a one-time code from the system.

Use the command transfer op=”request”.

<transfer op="request">
   <domain:transfer xmlns:domain=....etc.>
     <domain:name>eksempeldomene.no</domain:name>
   </domain:transfer>
</transfer>
<extension>
   <no-ext-domain:transfer xmlns:no-ext-domain=....etc.">
   <no-ext-domain:notify>
     <no-ext-domain:email>kunde@domene.no</no-ext-domain:email>
   </no-ext-domain:notify>
   </no-ext-domain:transfer>
</extension>

The system will immediately inform you that the transaction has been put on hold while the system waits for confirmation. Once the customer has received the one-time code and given it to you, you can complete the transaction with transfer op="execute", where you enter the one-time code in the token field.

<transfer op="execute">
   <domain:transfer xmlns:domain=...etc">
     <domain:name>eksempeldomene.no</domain:name>
   </domain:transfer>
</transfer>
<extension>
   <no-ext-domain:transfer xmlns:no-ext-domain=...etc.">
     <no-ext-domain:token>simsalabim</no-ext-domain:token>
   </no-ext-domain:transfer>
</extension>

Retrieve a domain name from reg0

Domain names registered with reg0 never have a transfer code. It is deleted when the registrar withdraws as the registrar using the EPP command withdraw. Perform a standard transfer op="execute" and leave the AuthInfo field empty.

<transfer op="execute">
        <domain:transfer xmlns:domain=....etc.>
          <domain:name>eksempeldomene.no</domain:name>
          <domain:authInfo>
            <domain:pw/>
          </domain:authInfo>
        </domain:transfer>
</transfer>
