• As a domain name registrant it is one of your rights to transfer your domain name to another registrar or registrant, and to have access to the necessary information from your registrar regarding the process for making a transfer should you wish to do so.
• To protect against unauthorized transfers, you must be the registrant of record or the administrative contact for the domain name in order to initiate the transfer process. Always be sure to keep your contact information up-to-date to ensure that you are able to do so.
