Transfer email arrived, didn't click in time, now stuck
Transfers have an ack window, usually 5 days. Skipping confirmation either auto-rejects or auto-approves depending on TLD.
Try this first
- 1Check WHOIS status, 'pendingTransfer' means still in flight
- 2gTLDs often auto-approve after 5 days if the old registrar doesn't refuse
- 3For .nl it's the inverse, transfer fails without confirmation
- 4Restart the transfer if it was rejected
When to bring us in
Ask the new registrar for exact status, sometimes there's an open ticket.
