Transfers
To transfer a .MOM domain, you'll need your current provider to give you the domain's AuthCode or EPP-Key, which proves your ownership of the domain.
Transfers take between 5 and 7 days to complete. Some registrars allow transfers to be accepted manually: contact your current provider to find out if they offer this service; if so, the transfer will be completed the same day.

The domains, once the transfer ends, extend their expiration date by one year.
Renewals
You can renew your .MOM domain at any time. This process usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes to complete.
Cancellations
It's possible to request the cancellation of a .MOM domain; you must do so via ticket (support area). Please note that canceling a domain does not entitle you to a refund of the amount paid for it.
DNS modifications
DNS changes are immediate, but please note that they must propagate through the network. This process usually takes between 6 and 12 hours to complete; until then, the domain will keep pointing to the previous DNS servers.
DNSSEC
We allow the usage of DNSSEC on .mom domains. Your domain can take advantage of this additional security layer that DNS servers that are compatible with this technology can provide.
More information is available at: DNSSEC: What is it and how does it work.
Domain owner change
Beginning December 1st, 2016, ownership changes of .MOM domains require both the current and the new owner to accept the change. Once the ownership change has been completed, the domain cannot be transferred to another registrar for a period of 60 days.
