You can transfer a domain name 30 days before its expiration date to give leeway for technical issues that may arise.
Most domain extensions (gTLD) take 5-7 days for the transfer to complete. Others – like .com.au – take 24-48 hours. You can contact us to confirm how long the transfer will complete.
Also, note that most registries lock a newly registered, renewed, and updated domain name for 60 days—prohibiting domain transfer.
