Domain transfer to Route 53 shows DNS records from old registrar, not Route 53.

Question

I transferred a domain from domain.com to Route 53 a few weeks ago. When checking the DNS online, it shows the DNS records from domain.com rather than the DNS records created in Route 53.  The WhoIs lookup does show Amazon as the registrar: Amazon Registrar, Inc. Was I suppose to update something on domain.com to officially switch to Route 53?

It looks like the DNS service is not migrated. Please refer to the step 2 in this [document](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-transfer-to-route-53.html#domain-transfer-to-route-53-transfer-dns) and consider making Amazon Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domain: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/MigratingDNS.html

Domain transfer to Route 53 shows DNS records from old registrar, not Route 53.
