Nominet Registrant Transfer Process

[Chris]

Hi, quick question re the Nominet Registrant Transfer process (where you pay the £10 + VAT for it) as I am unable to find an answer to this, if the new recipient that I am transferring a domain name to doesn't already own any UK domain names which in turn means they don't already have a Nominet Online Services account are they able to set one up during the transfer process?

Interesting question - I'm not sure as I've never been in this situation but the live chat is quite helpful. You could update the registrant details to their name/email before hand - then they'd be able to set one up from there.

are they able to set one up during the transfer process?

Yes, when Nominet emails them a link to accept the registrant transfer it's part of the process, eg. login to your account or create a new account.

Side note, if they or you are going to release the domain to another TAG with one of the big registrars (eg. 123-Reg, GoDaddy) I find it usually helps speed up the transfer in if you use the same email address as they have on their account for the Nomient registrant transfer.
