The transfer of domain names is a process that allows you to consolidate the renewal of your domain names to a single supplier. Y

ou can transfer your domain names to edomains , we then inform you of all future renewals.

  1. A domain transfer order is submitted by the customer, via the edomains website. This transfer order must contain the UDAI (Unique Domain Authentication Identifier) password for the domain. If a password is not supplied, or it is incorrect, the transfer will not be successful.
  2. Once edomains receives the transfer order, we verify the UDAI password with the New Zealand Registry, to ensure that the transfer can proceed. When we receive confirmation that the UDAI password is correct, we will then apply directly to the Registry for the transfer of the domain.
  3. The New Zealand Registry will transfer the domain immediately (as long as the UDAI password is correct) and the domain will be set up within your edomains account. You will be notified of the successful transfer via email. Your billing information will also be charged for the renewal of the domain, which is required when transferring .nz domains.


Please note: edomains does not send "requests for authorisation" emails for .nz domain transfers.


What is my UDAI password?

The UDAI (Unique Domain Authentication Identifier) password is only applicable to .nz domains. If you have lost your UDAI password, simply contact your registrar. 

Transfer Checklist for .nz Domain Names

  1. Obtain the UDAI authorization code from the current registrar.
  2. The .nz Registry requires a special password called a UDAI to approve domain name transfers. Obtain this password code from your current registrar before submitting a domain transfer; otherwise, your domain will not be able to be transferred.

Once you have completed the above step, clients can submit a transfer request to transfer the registration of your domain name to edomains.
