For a transfer to be successful, the following conditions must exist:
o Domain cannot be in Locked or Hold status.
o Transfers of gTLDs (.com, .net, .org, etc.) or .US domains, the domain must have resided with the losing Registrar (GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc.) for more than 60 days since it was first registered or transferred there.
o Transfers add one year to the domain's registration.
o Domain names that are expired but not deleted (up to 40 days past the expiry date, for most TLDs) can be transferred.
o The current administrative contact's email address must be valid, to allow for the confirmation of the transfer request.
Note: A domain's nameservers cannot be changed during a transfer; advise your clients that the nameservers will remain the same during the transfer, and they can be changed once the domain transfer is finalized.
