Check Eligibility: Confirm whether transferring an existing domain to a .edu.ng domain is allowed as per the registration policies. Some domain extensions have restrictions on transfers.
Unlock the Domain: If your existing domain is locked or has any transfer restrictions in place, you may need to unlock it or remove any transfer-related restrictions from the current domain registrar.
Obtain Authorization Code: The current registrar may provide you with an authorization code or EPP code. This code is often required to initiate the transfer process and prove your ownership of the domain.
Initiate Transfer: Contact the registrar or authority responsible for .edu.ng domains to inquire about their specific transfer process. They will guide you through the necessary steps, documentation, and fees (if any) involved in transferring the domain.
Provide Required Documentation: The domain registration authority may require you to submit certain documentation to verify your eligibility to hold a .edu.ng domain. This could include proof of accreditation, ownership, or other relevant documents.
Await Approval and Completion: The transfer process typically involves approval from both the losing registrar (where the domain is currently registered) and the gaining registrar (the registrar handling .edu.ng domains). Once approved, the domain transfer will be completed, and the domain will be under the .edu.ng extension.
