Domain Transfer Status and Tracking
After initiating a domain transfer, you can monitor its progress through your registrar’s dashboard. Here is how to track your transfer and understand each status.
How to Check Transfer Status at 10Corp
- Log in to your 10Corp account.
- Go to Domains → Transfers or Pending Transfers.
- Locate the domain in the list to view its current status.
Common Transfer Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Transfer has been submitted and is awaiting processing |
| Awaiting Approval | A confirmation email has been sent; action required from the registrant |
| In Progress | The transfer has been approved and is being processed between registrars |
| Completed | The domain has been successfully transferred |
| Failed | The transfer was rejected or encountered an error |
| Cancelled | The transfer was cancelled by the registrant or registrar |
Transfer Timeline Breakdown
A typical transfer follows this timeline:
- Submission (Day 1) — You enter the domain and EPP code at the gaining registrar.
- Verification (Day 1–2) — The gaining registrar verifies the authorization code and submits a transfer request to the registry.
- Notification (Day 2–3) — The losing registrar notifies the registrant and may request approval or denial.
- Approval Window (Day 3–5) — The registrant approves the transfer. If no action is taken, most transfers auto-approve after five days.
- Completion (Day 5–7) — The registry completes the transfer and updates the registrar of record.
Email Notifications
During the transfer process, you may receive emails from both the losing and gaining registrar:
- Transfer initiation confirmation from the gaining registrar
- Transfer approval request from the losing registrar
- Transfer completion notification from both registrars
Check your spam or junk folder if you do not see these emails.
What to Do If a Transfer Stalls
- Verify approval emails — Check that you have responded to all required emails.
- Contact the losing registrar — They may be holding the transfer pending additional verification.
- Check domain status — Ensure the domain is still unlocked and the EPP code has not expired.
- Contact 10Corp support — Our team can investigate the status from the gaining side.
Patience is important during transfers, as the process involves coordination between multiple parties and systems.
