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.

## Verifying Transfer Eligibility

Due to [ICANN rules](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/text-2012-02-25-en#:~:text=Please%20note%20that%20you%20may,60%20days%20after%20a%20transfer), 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](https://vercel.com/dashboard/domains). 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](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/text-2012-02-25-en#:~:text=Please%20note%20that%20you%20may,60%20days%20after%20a%20transfer).

## Additional Transfer Out Guidance

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**.
