Registrar Lock

Domain Industry
A registrar-level setting that prevents unauthorized domain transfers by locking the domain at the registrar.
← Back to Glossary

A registrar lock is a security setting that stops transfer requests unless the registrant explicitly unlocks the domain. It complements auth codes by requiring both a lock removal and a valid transfer code before a domain can move to a new registrar.
