Transfer Timeline

The time from sale agreement to completed domain transfer — days for pushes, up to weeks for full transfers.

The domain transfer timeline is the time required to complete a domain sale from agreement to full transfer. A push within the same registrar can complete in minutes. An inter-registrar transfer takes 5–7 days. Complex high-value sales using escrow may take 1–3 weeks when including escrow setup, payment processing, and transfer confirmation. Buyers should be prepared for this timeline when making time-sensitive purchases.
