Transfer a domain into Dot.st
Prepare your domain at the losing registrar and submit a transfer-in request on Dot.st.
Step 1: At your current registrar, unlock the domain for transfer and request the authorization (auth) code. Some registrars email the code or show it in their control panel.
Step 2: Confirm the registrant email on file is reachable. Registries sometimes send approval messages during transfer.
Step 3: Sign in to Dot.st and start Transfer In from Search or your account transfer area. Enter the domain name exactly as registered.
Step 4: Paste the auth code when prompted. Review registrant details — they should match policy requirements for .st.
Step 5: Pay the transfer fee from your wallet or card. Transfers typically extend registration by one year where registry rules allow.
Step 6: Wait for losing-registrar approval. Status shows as pending in your Domains list. This can take several days depending on the other registrar.
Step 7: After completion, verify nameservers and DNS on Dot.st. Update nameservers if you host DNS elsewhere.
If transfer stalls beyond a week, open dot.st/support with the domain name, losing registrar, and any emails you received.
