Authorization code required for transfers

If you're transferring a .me.uk domain to Route 53, you don't need to get an authorization code. Instead, use the method provided by your current domain registrar to update the value of the IPS tag for the domain to GANDI, all uppercase. (An IPS tag is required by Nominet, the registry for .uk domain names.) If your registrar will not change the value of the IPS tag, contact Nominet.

Note

When you register a .me.uk domain, Route 53 automatically sets the IPS tag for the domain to GANDI.

DNSSEC

Supported for domain registration. For more information, see Configuring DNSSEC for a domain.

Deletion of domain registration
