5. If you’re an existing customer login to your LCN account, otherwise create a new account.
6. Once the transfer has been set up, you’ll need to instruct your current registrar to change your domain’s IPS tag. This needs to be changed to LCN.

Note: The speed of the transfer relies on how quickly your current registrar releases your domain. This normally completes within 24 hours.

Transferring all other domains (.com, .net, .info, etc...) to LCN

Before starting the transfer process, you’ll need to do the following:

• Make sure you have access to the email address for the registered owner of the domain. If you’re unsure what this is, you can check using this whois lookup tool
  
  Check WHOIS for:

5. If you’re an existing customer login to your LCN account, otherwise create a new account.
6. Once the transfer has been initiated, we’ll send an email to the registrant and admin email address asking for the Auth code (EPP code).
7. We’ll also send an email to the registrant and admin email address asking for the transfer to be authorised. Once authorised, the transfer will take five days to complete.
8. If the transfer isn’t authorised, it’ll time out after seven days and the process will need to be re-started.

Please note: The speed of the transfer relies on how quickly you authorise the emails that are sent to the registered owner and admin contacts on the domain.
