Procedure for transferring .CH / .LI domain name

The transfer is free of charge because this operation doesn't include a domain name renewal. You will benefit from all our services until the expiration of the domain name, when you will have to renew with NETIM.

Requirements
To initiate the transfer of a domain name .CH or .LI, you will be asked to provide an authorization code (AuthID). You can obtain it from either:

• your current domain name's registrar if he is an official partner of SWITCH
• the registry if your domain name is managed directly with SWITCH

You will find further informations at http://nic.switch.ch, section "Support / FAQs", Partners

Different stages
Once your order has been confirmed, we will send a request for the transfer of your domain name to the registry with the autorization code.

• In the event of acceptance, the transfer is immediatly carried out.
• In the event of refusal, the transfer is cancelled.

You can transfer your domain whenever you want, no need to wait for the expiration in order to complete the domain transfer.

   Important information

• Deadline for transfer: the day before expiration of the domain name
• After the transfer: The domain name's expiration date will not be changed. You will have to renew the domain with NETIM before its expiration date.
• The transfer can be carried out within hours, if the AuthID is valid
