Here are the most common reasons why domain name transfer requests fail:

• The domain name registration is on a locked status. This can be the result of the domain name being in a trademark dispute, bankruptcy proceedings or a dispute over the registrant of the domain name.
• The authorization code was not provided.
  
• The domain name has been registered for less than 60 days.
• The Administrative Contact rejects or does not respond to the domain name transfer request within 14 days.
• The Administrative Contact’s information, specifically the email address (as listed in the current registrar’s WHOIS record), is not valid or accurate.
