-
The transfer is submitted to the registry and the losing registrar is automatically notified by them.
-
The losing registrar sends an email to the owner (and optionally admin) contact, informing about the transfer; this may include options to approve and/or deny the transfer. If neither explicitly approved nor denied, the transfer will be automatically finalized after 5 days.
Transfer notes
- A .trade domain transfer must be initiated with a so-called authorisation code, (auth-code) which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner/admin contact of the domain.
- Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (clientTransferProhibited and/or serverTransferProhibited). This can be seen in WHOIS.
- If the domain has a client-side transfer lock, the owner can ask the current registrar to have the lock removed.
These procedures only apply for domain transfers between registrars. For internal transfers between resellers, please consult our documentation about internal transfers/usertransfers.
Auth-Codes
The format for auth info requires a minimum length of 8 characters and a maximum length of 32 characters.
Additionally, auth info must contain at least one of each of the following three character types:
- Alphabetic characters: a-z; A-Z
- Numeric characters: 0-9
- Special characters: !;<=$%?&@[()]*^+-,'-{.|/}:~
Domain Restore

command = RestoreDomain
domain = yourdomain.tradeSupported IDN Scripts
The following IDN scripts are supported by .trade.
Provide the LANGUAGE TAG corresponding to your desired IDN within the AddDomain command as X-IDN-LANGUAGE extension.
Get more information of "IDN tables", which represent permitted code points (letters) allowed for Internationalised Domain Name registrations in particular registries on IANA Repository of IDN Practices.
After a successful registration of the domain, it will be transfer locked from the registry for a period of 60 days.
