Invalid EPP/Authorisation Key

This means that the EPP Key submitted for the transfer was not valid.

A valid EPP key will need to be obtained from the current registrar and forwarded to Freeparking so we can initiate the transfer process again.

Domain is Locked at Current Registrar, or is not yet 60 Days Old

If the Registrar-Lock is not removed from a domain name before a Registrar Transfer is attempted, the transfer will fail.

This is also the case if a Registrar Transfer is attempted within the first 60 days of a new domain name being registered – registry rules prevent a domain name being transferred to another registrar until it is at least 60 days old.

Domain Contacts did not Respond to Verification Email

When a Registrar Transfer is requested, an email is sent to the Administrative Contact listed in the public whois records requesting verification that the transfer is legitimate.

If the verification email is not received and actioned appropriately, the transfer will be rejected.

The Current Registrar has Rejected Transfer

If the losing registrar has a legitimate reason to prevent a domain name being transferred away e.g. if the domain “ownership” is being disputed or there are fees owing, then they can stop the transfer from proceeding.

In this situation the domain holder needs to contact the losing registrar and resolve any outstanding issues.
