====== Transferring your .CO.UK, .ORG.UK and .ME.UK to Gandi ======

===== 1. Update the IPS tag =====

**Update the tag**: Contact your current registrar and request that the [[en:domains:transfer:IPS-tag|IPS tag]] of your domain be changed to: **GANDI**

<note>If you are unable to get your tag changed at your current registrar, you can do so directly at the [[http://www.nominet.org.uk/uk-domain-names/manage-your-domain/change-registrar|registry]] (note that this is not free if you do it via Nominet directly, as they charge £10)</note>




===== 2. Launch the transfer =====

**[[https://www.gandi.net/domain/transfer|Launch the transfer process]] on Gandi's website**. Do not include an authorization code or the transfer may encounter an error, causing it to be delayed.

<note important>If the owner information for the domain at the registry is different than your handle at Gandi, our system will automatically create a new handle for the domain's owner. You should therefore take care to double check this.</note>

===== 3. Confirm the emails =====

**Confirm the transfer.** You will receive a confirmation email from Gandi that is sent to the email address of the Gandi handle that is specified as the domain owner. Be sure to accept this within 6 days of launching the transfer.

The confirmation email sent to the owner will contain the Gandi contact handles to be associated with the domain. For example:
