If you would like to transfer a domain currently registered with Vercel to another registrar, you can do so from the Domains overview on the Dashboard by clicking on the triple-dot menu button for the relevant domain; a menu-item button to transfer the domain out will be presented if the domain is registered with Vercel.
Due to ICANN rules, a domain must be registered with a registrar for 60 days before it can be transferred to another.
You can verify that your domain has been registered with Vercel for at least 60 days by visiting the Domains Dashboard. If the registrar is Vercel and the age greater than 60 days, it is eligble to transfer. Only team owners can initiate a domain transfer.
NOTE: To find further information on ICANN rules, visit the ICANN website.
If you're transferring a domain out of Vercel, keep the following points in mind:
- Only the owner of the team that owns the domain can initiate the transfer.
- Domains registered or transferred into Vercel within the last 60 days are not eligible for outbound transfer due to ICANN rules.
- When you initiate a transfer, you'll receive an EPP (authorization) code, which is required by the new registrar.
- Vercel does not charge a fee to release your domain, but the receiving registrar may charge a one-year renewal fee as part of the process.
- To avoid any downtime, it's recommended to update DNS records or nameservers before initiating the transfer.
