• ensuring that domain is unlocked and ready for transfer;
• requesting an authorization code if required;
• beginning transfer via form on Zone web-site by entering a correct authorization code;
• confirming the transfer by clicking the link sent via email sent at the domain’s contact address;

Domain transfer rules depending on different top level domain registries:

• .EE, COM.EE, FIE.EE, .PRI.EE
• .COM,.NET,.ORG, .INFO, .BIZ, .MOBI, .TV
• .EU

Changing ownership via trade procedure

The owners of the European Union, Estonian or other country code top level domains must go through a trade procedure on order to change the ownership:

• new owner initiates the trade procedure;
• current owner approves or declines the trade request;
