The 60 day thing

[shanejones]

So I know we have this 60-day lock on .uk domain names.

Does anyone know if you're still able to transfer directly through Nominet to a new owner during this 60-day period and what would this process look like for the buyer?

There is no 60 day lock, or do you mean a registrar your using to register domains is putting a 60 day lock on them?

what 60 day lock?? Think this must be a registrar lock, not nominet. Who are registering your domains with?

Just been having a Google, assuming it is at a registrar like GoDaddy, who apparently use a domain lock in certain circumstances, you should still be able to send a transfer from within your Nominet control panel.

The 60-day lock applied by ⁠GoDaddy is a registrar lock that prevents you from transferring the domain to a different registrar (such as moving the domain from GoDaddy to Namecheap). It does not affect Nominet's internal systems, as .uk domains are uniquely managed at the registry level.

Thread 'Transfer OUT of cloudflare for newly registered .co.uk (60 day lock)'

Aug 3, 2024

I recently regged a .co.uk via Cloudflare, (a week ago) and after an offer, I've decided to sell the domain. However, cloudflare does not allow changing of the IPSTag within the first 60 days or registration, they cite Icann (incorrectly?), but anyways...

Would I be right in assuming I can get the IPSTag changed via nominet myself, for 12+VAT ? is that correct? I've never had to do this before as I've always been able to change IPSTag at other registrars without issue.

Cheers.

Yeah, I use Fasthosts mostly for my domains

It'll be them putting the lock on. You should be able to transfer from your nominet account. There may be a way of unlocking in in your CP

I’d first check exactly what is being blocked: change of registrant, TAG change, or just moving it between accounts. Those are different things, and the answer can depend on where the domain is currently managed.
