<a name="route-53-domains_example_route-53-domains_CheckDomainTransferability_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `CheckDomainTransferability`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To determine whether a domain can be transferred to Route 53**  
The following `check-domain-transferability` command returns information about whether you can transfer the domain name `example.com` to Route 53.  
This command runs only in the `us-east-1` Region. If your default region is set to `us-east-1`, you can omit the `region` parameter.  

```
aws route53domains check-domain-transferability \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --domain-name example.com
```
Output:  

```
{
    "Transferability": {
        "Transferable": "UNTRANSFERABLE"
    }
}
```
