How can I transfer my .DE domains from one Domain Provider to another?

Simply contact a Domain Provider and request that they submit a transfer for you domain.

Please note that the .DE registry (DENIC) requires that the Registrar you are transferring your domain to must receive, via fax, a written authorization of the transfer request from the domain’s Registrant (Administrative Contact).  This authorization must be kept on record should the Registry request it in the case of a dispute.

This mean you will need to supply your Domain Provider with the faxed request prior to the transfer being initiated.

Unlike .COM, .NET and .ORG, which have a sixty (60) day post registration transfer hold restriction, transfers in and out are not restricted to any type of hold period.   This means that a transfer can essentially be performed at any time after a domain is registered.

DENIC also imposes a non-refundable transfer fee on each transfer request, regardless of whether the transfer was successful or not.
