Make sure the domain name is unlocked

Domain names that are "locked" with Yahoo! Domains can't be transferred. To unlock a Yahoo! Domains domain name:

1. Go to http://domains.yahoo.com.
2. If necessary, sign into your Yahoo! Domains account using your existing Yahoo! ID and password.
3. Click Domain Control Panel.
4. Click Edit Domain Locking.
5. Locate your domain name in the table.
6. If the domain name is locked, the page will display "Locked". Click the large Unlock Domain button.
7. On the next page, click the large Unlock Domain button to confirm the action.
8. You will be returned to the Domain Locking page, which should show that your domain name is now unlocked.

It may take up to 24 hours for Yahoo! Domains to notify the central domain registry that the domain name has been unlocked. During this time, you can still place the transfer order on our Web site. We'll start the transfer as soon as the central registry knows it's been unlocked.
