.MX Domains
Last updated
.MX domain transfers do not complete right away like most gTLD transfers: the current registrar must approve the request, so a transfer can take up to 10 days. The Mexican registry also checks name servers before it accepts a change.
How long does a .MX transfer take?
.MX domains follow a registry-approved transfer process. After the transfer is started, the current registrar must approve the request, so transfers can take up to 10 days to complete.
What else should I know about .MX domains?
- Name servers: the registry checks that new name servers are set up to serve the domain’s zone. If they are not, the registry rejects the change. .MX domains can have 1 to 5 name servers.
- Contact address: for a contact in Mexico or the United States, the state is required. For Mexico, enter the state’s full name, not an abbreviation.
- WHOIS privacy: not available.
