    • A .tv domain can contain a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 63 characters.

    • .tv domain registrations are annual and are automatically renewed at the end of the registration period of a year.
    • After registration, the domain can not be transferred for 60 days.

    Transfers

     

    • Transferring a .tv domain is always done with a transfer code. You can always request this at your current registrar. More information about transferring your domain name can be found here.
    • When a transfer is started, the owner of the domain will receive an email which can be used to cancel the transfer within 5 days.
      • If the owner cancels, the transfer will not take place.
      • If the owner does not cancel, the transfer will take place after 5 days.
    • A transfer is only possible if the email address of the owner/registrant and the administrative contact is valid. If this is not the case, contact your current registrar.
    • After transferring, the domain can not be transferred again for 60 days.
