Transferring a .EU Domain Name

Before proceeding with the Transfer, you are first advised to check if your Domain Name can be transferred. 1

Note

In case of a .EU domain name Transfer, the domain name Registration gets extended w.r.t. the date of Transfer (till the second last day of the month, one year from the date of Transfer) and not w.r.t. the date the domain name was originally set to expire prior to Transfer.

Example:

If a .EU domain name has the Expiry Date as 30 Oct, 2009 and it gets transferred to another Registrar on 2 Sep, 2009, then the new Expiry Date will be 29 Sep, 2010 and not 30 Oct, 2010.
