This guide details the administrative steps for transferring the management of a domain with the .de extension to another registrar other than Infomaniak.
Transfer a .de domain to another registrar
As long as the administrator contact listed in the WHOIS information for the domain to be transferred does not include an address located in Germany, it will not be possible to request the transfer code. Please refer to this other guide to modify the contact details.
Alternatively, you can delete the domain name, in which case you must…
- … or contact Infomaniak support (by providing the email address mentioned in the WHOIS contact details) and request its deletion.
- … or wait for the domain to expire, after which it will be transferred to DENIC, which you can then contact to request its permanent deletion.
