Transferring a UK Domain Name to 123 Reg
This article will provide instructions on how to transfer all UK domain names to 123 Reg.
In order for a UK domain to be transferred into your 123 Reg account, there are a few things that need to happen first:
1) Request the transfer
Start by visiting the 123 Reg Homepage. From there, type your domain name into the search tool provided and select the magnifying glass icon.
On the next page, select Transfer my domain.
Your domain name will now be added to the basket. Select the cart icon in the top-right corner to continue.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the checkout process.
Next, select Domain Names within the ‘Manage active products’ section and then click Manage opposite Domain transfers.
If you don’t currently have any domain names in your 123 Reg account, please click here to access the Transfers page or click the provided link within the ‘Domain transfer’ email you will have received.
This will take you to the Domain Transfers page, where you can check the status of your transfer request.

2) Update the IPS Tag
To progress the transfer, you must now do the following with your current provider:
- Make sure that your domain name is ‘unlocked’.
- Change the IPS Tag for your UK domain to 123-REG
