More Information

NOTE: Removal of registrar lock does not initiate transfer of a domain; it only updates the domain status to ACTIVE or OK, thus enabling registrar transfer. For instructions on how to transfer your domain please see the article, How to initiate an OUTGOING domain transfer.

If you do not have a direct eNom account, please contact your reseller to have the lock removed. If you do not know the name of your reseller, please see the article, Who is my reseller?.
