Special Transfer Procedure

When a .PL Domain is transferred successfully, it will NOT be renewed automatically, meaning that a transfer is free-of-charge and we will basically "take-over" the current expiration date. Since the registry executes an explicit renewal together with an initiated transfer, you have to submit the parameter PERIOD = 0 with the TransferDomain command, if the domain is NOT within a period 30 days prior to expiration.
A transfer can not be initiated within 5 days after its registration nor within 6 days before the end of its billing period.

Example:

command = TransferDomain
domain = <TEXT>
period = 0

Transfers from NASK

• Go to the NASK Website and generate the necessary TRANSFER FROM NASK - Form.
• Fax this form to NASK: +48 22 380 83 01
• Then NASK will send out the Authorizationcode to the gaining registrar. This may take up to +- 7 days.
• You can then initiate the transfer without an AuthCode through the webinterface or socket access.
• After the transfer has been requested, the domain owner will receive a confirmation email and be asked to approve the transfer.
• After the domain owner approved the transfer using the link in the confirmation email, the domain is transferred in real-time.

Transfers from another Registrar

• No fax forms are required.
• Request the authorization code from the current registrar.
• You can then initiate the transfer through the webinterface or socket access.
• After the transfer has been requested, the domain owner will receive a confirmation email and be asked to approve the transfer.
• A .PL Domain Transfer must be initiated with a so-called Authorization Code, which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner or Admin-C of the domain.
• Please ensure, that you have a correct Authorization Code associated with the domain, before initiating the transfer, otherwise it will fail.
• Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock status. This can be seen in the WHOIS. If the domain is locked, then the owner can demand that this be unlocked.
• Please note that you need the authorization of the registrant before you initiate the transfer.
