What this usually means
The transfer may be waiting for approval, using an incorrect transfer code, held by the current provider, protected by a transfer lock or restricted by rules for the domain extension or a recent registration or transfer.
Quick checks
- Open the transfer in Kiyo and read its current status.
- Check the domain contact email for an approval message.
- Confirm the transfer code was copied correctly.
- Check that the current provider allows transfer out.
- Review any Action required message.
