Move your .rw and global domains to Route Africa
Bring .co.rw, .com and the rest of your portfolio into one account billed in RWF. Your website and email keep running on the current DNS while the transfer completes.
Enter the full domain you're moving. You'll add its auth code at checkout if the registry uses one.
Before you start
Most failed transfers come down to one of these. Tick them off as you go; nothing is saved.
Keep your nameservers as they are
A transfer changes who manages the domain, not where it points. Leave the DNS in place until the move completes.
How the transfer runs
Order the transfer
Enter the domain above, add the auth code at checkout and pay in RWF.
Approve it
Confirm the request from the email sent to the domain's contact.
Wait for the registry
Generic domains usually complete in five to seven days. .rw transfers follow RICTA's process.

The domain appears in your client area with DNS, renewals and transfer lock under your control.
Transfer prices in RWF
For most generic domains the transfer fee also renews the name for a year. .rw zones may differ; checkout shows the term before you pay.
We handle .rw transfers through our registry partners and guide you through RICTA's process.

Domain transfer questions
Will my website or email go offline?
No, as long as you keep the same nameservers during the transfer.
How long does a transfer take?
Most generic domains complete within five to seven days. .rw transfers depend on RICTA's process.
Do I lose the time left on my registration?
Not for most generic domains: the remaining time carries over and a year is added. .rw zones may work differently; checkout shows the term.
My current registrar won't release the domain. What now?
For generic domains, registrars must give the auth code to the registrant on request. For .rw, contact us with the details and we'll advise. We handle .rw transfers through our registry partners and guide you through RICTA's process.
Can I transfer several domains at once?
Yes. Add each domain to the cart. For a large portfolio, WhatsApp us and we'll plan it with you.
Ready to move?
Unlock the domain, copy the auth code and start the transfer.
