Reasons why a .co.za domain transfer might fail

A .co.za domain may not be transferred during its Anniversary Period. The period is 3 days prior to its expiration up to the 6th of the following month as well as the first month of its registration. This means that if a domain's anniversary is on the 10th, it cannot be transferred from the 8th of the anniversary month until the 6th of the following month. 

Furthermore, a domain cannot be transferred in the first month of its registration. Registrars must please take serious note and plan to transfer domains prior to or after the Anniversary Period.

Other considerations to keep in mind when transferring a .co.za domain from the legacy Uniforum to the new ZACR Registry:

  1. Prior to transferring a domain, it is recommended that the domain has been paid for. Unpaid domains will not be transferred, but enter the deletion run.
  2. Domains that have "Deny" votes will not be transferred. 1 Deny vote is all that is required.
  3. Domains that have no votes (Accept OR Deny) will NOT be transferred.
