What does my domain transfer status mean?
Transfer dashboards use short status labels. Exact wording can vary, but these meanings cover the usual states.
- Pending / Awaiting approval - a person or email confirmation is still required.
- In progress / Submitted to registry - the gaining side is processing with the registry.
- Canceled / Rejected - someone denied the request or it expired unused.
- Complete - the domain now belongs to the gaining account or registrar.
- Locked / Not eligible - clientTransferProhibited, recent registration window, or unpaid debts are blocking the move.
Tip: If a status stalls for more than a few days, confirm unlock + auth code on the losing side and check spam for approval mail.
