Domain Status does not allow this operation.

In case of

  • a lock/suspension at the Registry, contact our Support Team at sohail@reliancearabia.com to know the reason for lock/suspension and how the lock/suspension may be removed.

  • an outbound Transfer, you may

    • either cancel the Transfer through link listed in the email sent to the Registrant/Administrative Contact of the domain name and then perform the required modification, or

    • wait for the Transfer to complete and then carry out the desired modification at the New Registrar.
