When can a transfer code not be requested?
There are several situations in which you cannot request a transfer code for a domain name:
On hold
When a domain name is on hold this means that there are legal proceedings about that domain name.
Locked
The domain name holder can ask his registrar to lock his domain name. This saves him from thoughtless or malicious requests to transfer his domain name.
-
Only the domain name holder can ask his registrar to lock his .be domain name to protect it against transfers. Meaning that the domain name cannot be moved to another registrar and/or holder as long as it is locked.
The registrar must undo the locking on the explicit request of the domain name holder.

- delete your domain name
