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.
