# DeleteDomain
<a name="API_domains_DeleteDomain"></a>

This operation deletes the specified domain. This action is permanent. For more information, see [Deleting a domain name registration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-delete.html).

To transfer the domain registration to another registrar, use the transfer process that’s provided by the registrar to which you want to transfer the registration. Otherwise, the following apply:

1. You can’t get a refund for the cost of a deleted domain registration.

1. The registry for the top-level domain might hold the domain name for a brief time before releasing it for other users to register (varies by registry). 

1. When the registration has been deleted, we'll send you a confirmation to the registrant contact. The email will come from `noreply@domainnameverification.net` or `noreply@emailverification.info` or `noreply@registrar.amazon`.
