The process for transferring a domain away from Kualo depends on whether it is a UK domain (e.g. .co.uk, .org.uk) or a non-UK domain (e.g. .com, .net, .org). Please read the relevant section below carefully.

## Transferring UK domains (e.g. .co.uk, .org.uk)

UK domains are transferred by changing the IPS Tag to that of your new registrar. There is no EPP code involved.

### How to transfer

1. Log in to your MyKualo account using your registered email address.
2. Go to **Domains > My Domains**.
3. Click **Manage Domain** for the domain you wish to transfer.
4. Click the **Release Domain** tab.
5. Enter the IPS Tag of your new registrar exactly as they have provided it.
6. Confirm the release.

### Important notes

:::warning
This process is irreversible. Kualo cannot retrieve the domain after release unless the new registrar agrees to return it. Make sure the IPS Tag is correct before you proceed.
:::

- The transfer completes immediately once the IPS Tag is changed.
- Ensure you have the correct IPS Tag from your new registrar before starting.

## Transferring non-UK domains (e.g. .com, .net, .org)

Non-UK domains use an EPP (Auth) Code and must be unlocked before a transfer can take place.

### How to transfer

1. Log in to your MyKualo account using your registered email address.
2. Go to **Domains > My Domains** and click **Manage Domain** for the relevant domain.
3. Click the **Registrar Lock** tab and disable the lock.
4. Go to **Management Tools > Get EPP Code**.
5. Provide the EPP code to your new registrar to initiate the transfer.

### Timescale

Transfers usually complete within 5-7 days, depending on your new registrar.

### Additional notes

- Make sure your domain's contact email address is valid, as approval requests may be sent there during the transfer.
- Do not re-enable the registrar lock until the transfer has completed.
- If you need help at any point, please contact our support team - we are happy to assist.
