The status of my Amazon Route 53 domain is "clientTransferProhibited".
Short description
The domain registries for all generic top-level domains (TLDs) and several geographic TLDs provide the option to lock your domain. Locking a domain prevents someone from transferring the domain to another registrar without your permission.
If you activate transfer lock for a domain, then the status updates to clientTransferProhibited. To remove this status, deactivate the transfer lock.
Resolution
Note: If you receive errors when running AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, make sure that you're using the most recent AWS CLI version.
- Open the Amazon Route 53 console.
- In the navigation pane, choose Registered domains.
- Select the name of the domain that you want to update.
- For Transfer Lock, choose Disable.
- Choose Save.
Or, you can run the following command in the AWS CLI:
aws route53domains disable-domain-transfer-lock \
--region us-east-1 \
--domain-name example.com
Note: Replace the AWS Region and domain name placeholders with your corresponding values.
