Transfer a .gy domain to Revamped GY
Move a .gy domain from its current registrar with its transfer code. The registrant stays the owner. The transfer costs GYD $7,000 and includes one more year, which the registry adds when the transfer completes.
Before you start, unlock the domain at your current registrar and ask it for the transfer code. See the steps.
After the transfer
The domain is managed from the same account as your other Revamped GY services.
- My Domains
- The domain's status, expiry date, nameservers, security settings and actions in one place.
- Registry information
- Status, expiry date and nameservers read from the registry.
- Renewals
- Renew by hand or turn on automatic renewal by card, with reminders before the expiry date.
- Security
- Registrar lock, DNSSEC and a transfer code you can replace.
- Nameservers
- Change nameservers yourself when you need to.
- Billing
- Orders, renewal payments and receipts in the same account.
- Email and hosting
- Add business email or cPanel hosting to the domain.
- Local help
- Our team in Guyana helps with transfers, renewals and domain settings.
Before you start
Sort these out at your current registrar before checkout.
- A supported extension
- The domain ends in .gy, .co.gy, .com.gy, .net.gy, .org.gy or .edu.gy, and you enter it exactly as registered.
- Registrar lock off
- The current registrar unlocks the domain so the registry can accept the transfer.
- A valid transfer code
- Use the latest code issued for the domain. Ask for a new one if it is rejected.
- A status that allows transfer
- The domain is not in a registry status that blocks transfer or needs another action first.
- The owner's authority
- The person asking is the registrant or someone the registrant has authorised.
- Payment
- We send the transfer request once the payment is confirmed.
How to transfer
The registrant stays the owner throughout.
- Confirm the domain is eligible
Check the exact domain, extension and current registry status before beginning the registrar transfer.
- Disable registrar lock
Unlock the domain at the current registrar so the registry can accept an authorised transfer request.
- Obtain the auth code
Request the current transfer authorisation code and keep it private until it is entered into the secure transfer form.
- Submit the transfer form
Enter the full domain and auth code, then review the validation result and transfer information.
- Complete the transfer payment
Review the GYD $7,000 transfer charge and complete checkout using an available payment method.
- Confirm the transfer
After the registry completes the transfer, check the domain in My Domains: the new expiry date and that the registrar lock is on.
Transfer code and registrar lock
The transfer code proves the request is authorised. Registrar lock blocks transfers until you turn it off.
The transfer code
- Issued by the current registrar, and also called the auth code or EPP code
- Ask for the latest code
- Copy it exactly, including letters, numbers and symbols
- Do not publish it or send it to anyone who is not authorised
- Ask for a new code if it is rejected or exposed
Registrar lock
- Unlock the domain at the current registrar only when you are ready to transfer
- Submit the transfer soon after unlocking
- Follow the transfer in your account
- When the transfer completes, check in My Domains that the lock is on
Ownership and expiry date
A registrar transfer changes who manages the domain. It does not change the owner.
Ownership
Expiry date
The transfer fee includes one more year, which the registry adds to the expiry date when the transfer completes. Check the new expiry date in My Domains. After that, you renew from My Domains.
If the transfer is rejected
Most rejections come from the transfer code, registrar lock, the domain's status or a typing mistake.
- The transfer code is invalid
- Ask the current registrar for the latest code, copy it exactly and submit again.
- The domain is still locked
- Turn off the transfer lock in the current registrar's account. Wait for the status to update, then submit again.
- The domain has expired or is in redemption
- It may need renewing or restoring before it can move. Check its status and finish that first.
- The domain was typed wrongly
- Enter the full domain with the right extension. Leave out spaces, http:// and page paths.
- A transfer is already in progress
- Do not submit it again. Check the existing order, and contact us if it does not move.
- The payment is still pending
- Transfers paid by a method we confirm by hand are sent once we confirm the payment. Follow the instructions on the order.
Questions about transfers

How do I transfer a .gy domain to Revamped GY?
Unlock the domain at the current registrar, obtain the transfer authorisation code, enter the domain and code in the transfer form, review the transfer order and complete payment. Revamped GY then submits the eligible transfer request.
How much does a .gy domain transfer cost?
A transfer costs GYD $7,000 and includes one year: the registry adds a year to the expiry date when the transfer completes.
What are the benefits of transferring a .gy domain to Revamped GY?
After an eligible transfer, you can manage the domain from one Revamped GY account with live registry information, renewal controls, registrar lock, nameserver management, DNSSEC, transfer-code controls, billing history, reminders and access to local domain support. The approved registrant remains the domain owner.
What is a transfer authorisation code?
The transfer authorisation code, sometimes called an auth code or EPP code, is a secure credential issued by the current registrar. It proves that the transfer request is authorised for that domain.
Does the registrar lock need to be disabled?
Yes. The lock blocks transfers, so ask your current registrar to remove it before you submit the transfer. We turn the lock on again once the domain arrives.
Who owns the domain after a registrar transfer?
A registrar transfer changes the company managing the domain. It does not automatically change the approved registrant owner. Registrant information should remain accurate and authorised throughout the process.
Does transferring change the registration period?
Yes. The registry adds one year to the current expiry date when the transfer completes, so no time already paid for is lost. Check the new date in My Domains afterwards.
Why is my .gy transfer being rejected?
Common causes include an incorrect or expired auth code, registrar lock, an unsupported or misspelled domain, an ineligible registry status, a transfer already in progress or a payment that has not been confirmed.
Can I transfer an expired .gy domain?
Transfer availability depends on the domain’s current registry status. An expired, redemption-stage or otherwise restricted domain may need to be renewed or restored before it can be transferred.
Where do I manage the domain after transfer?
After a successful transfer, open My Domains to review status, expiry, nameservers, registrar lock, DNSSEC, renewal settings and supported domain actions.
