Hello Sandra,

First look at the Registry WHOIS to confirm the identity of the registrar.

ie go to:
http://www.verisign-grs.com

Use WHOIS.

the "Registrar" field gives you the identity of the registrar.

then look at the field called: "Whois Server" to get specific information from your current registrar.

If you are told that you can't transfer within 30 days of expiry - that is a business practice of your current registrar.  In the .com environment a registrar can deny a transfer away for a range of reasons.


Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
