: How to remove CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED status from my domain name I need help on how to get register.com to remove the CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED status from my domain name so I can transfer

@Becky754

You likely have lock set on the domain which is meant to prevent unauthorized transfers to another registrar. Log into your current registrar's domain control panel/manager and look for the option to unlock it.

Other possibilities are that your domain is past the expiration date, in which it would go into a redemption stage for a period of time and not be eligible for transfer (check the expiration date in a WHOIS lookup for your domain). Or, you registered the domain or changed the registrant information within the past 60 days, which by ICANN rules would prevent the transfer for that period of time.

For a complete list of reasons why a registrar may deny a transfer see section 3. Obligations of the Registrar of Record in:

ICANN - Policy on Transfer of Registrations between Registrars
