To which email address is the transfer confirmation sent?
When a domain name is transferred, the registry often sends an email to the domain owner. This is usually a notification about the requested transfer, but in some cases, it requires the owner to confirm the transfer via a link included in the email.
📩 Where is the email sent?
The email is typically sent to the domain holder or the administrative contact, depending on the domain extension previously provided.
🔎 Is the email address publicly available?
In most cases, the registered email address can be found online, unless the domain is privately registered or there has been an explicit request to hide the information from public WHOIS results.
.NL: Holder, notification only | SIDN Website
.BE: Holder, transfer code | DNS Belgium Website
.EU: Holder, transfer code | EurID Website
Other ×: Administrative contact, confirmation link | DomainTools Website
× This applies to most gTLDs (generic Top-Level Domains). ccTLDs (country code Top-Level Domains) often have their own specific rules. For questions about the transfer process for a specific extension, please contact us.
⚠️ Important: Ensure that the domain holder’s and administrative contact’s email addresses are up to date. If the email address is outdated, please ask your current provider to update it.
