Understanding Transfer Statuses

About Transfer-Ins

Transferring your domain from another registrar to Sav allows you to consolidate all of your domains in one spot for ease of management and to take advantage of Sav's low renewal prices. All transfer-ins include a one-year domain renewal at no extra cost.

You can see the status of each domain in the process of transferring in and any steps you may need to take on the Transfers page. There are a number of different statuses that may appear next to the domain. If the transfer fails, you can hover the cursor to the "failed" notice to check the reason:

  • Starting: Your transfer request will be processed soon, approximately within 24 hours.
  • In Progress: Your transfer has been initiated and currently is In Progress.
  • Pending Auth Code: The auth code for transfer hasn't been received to start the transfer
  • Failed "Domain is locked: Need to unlock the domain from the losing registrar and restart the transfer
  • Failed "Invalid authorization code": Need to generate the new auth code and restart the transfer using the new code.
  • Failed "Command use Error; (t03) Transfer to self not allowed": Please contact us so we can escalate to advanced support to fix it.
  • Failed "Billing Failure": Please contact us so we can escalate to advanced support to fix it
