You can move a domain you already own to MalawiDomains and renew it in kwacha.

## When a transfer is the right move

1. You want an easier renewal, paid each year in kwacha.
2. You want the account in your own name.
3. You need one local invoice in kwacha for the business books.

## What a transfer needs

| Requirement | Why |
| --- | --- |
| Access to the admin email | The approval message is sent there. |
| The authorisation code | Your current provider issues an EPP code. |
| The transfer lock off | A locked domain cannot move. |
| An age over 60 days | A registry rule. A recent domain must wait. |

Your website stays online. A transfer moves the billing and the control. It does
not switch off the site or the email, as long as the DNS records stay the same.

## If you cannot get into the account

Recovery is still possible. The registry holds a record of the owner, and company
documents prove that the business owns the name. Write to
hello@malawidomains.com for the recovery route for that provider.
