Transferring a domain into Amazon Route 53

You can transfer a domain from your current registrar to Amazon 53, or from one AWS account to another, or from Route 53 to another registrar. This recipe will explain how to transfer a domain and DNS to Route 53.

Getting ready

There are a few minimum requirements:

• The domain registration or restoration with the previous registrar must be done at least 60 days before
• You cannot initiate a domain transfer if the current domain status is one of the following:
  • pendingDelete
  • pendingTransfer
  • redemptionPeriod
  • clientTransferProhibited
• Check whether Route 53 supports the TLD
