Transfers

To be able to complete .MA domain transfers you'll need your current registrar to give you the domain's AuthCode or EPP-Key, with it you'll be able to verify your domain's ownership.

Transfers can take between 5 and 7 days to complete. Some registrars allow to accept transfers manually, contact your current registrar and find out if they offer this service, in this case the transfer will complete the same day.

DNS modifications

DNS modifications aren't immediate, as this Registry works in a manual manner, these type of modifications may take up to 1-2 weeks to be completed. Once the change is completed, the new DNS servers must propagate, this may take between 6 and 12 hours to complete.

Domain owner change

.MA domains allow to change the registrant but this has to be done using a TRADE process, this process has cost and doesn't imply the domain renewal. Please contact us if you're interested in changing the registrant of your .MA domain.
