Step 7: Contact your current provider and ask them to change the IPS TAG to ENOM . Some providers will allow you do this through a control panel. That will then update the system.
If you are not able to contact the current IPS tag holder, or if the tag holder will not change the tag, you can ask Nominet UK to change the tag for you. They will attempt to contact the tag holder for your domain. If they do not receive a satisfactory reply, they will change the tag themselves. The procedure for doing this can be found on Nominet’s website here .
Note: There may be reasons why your current registrar will not change the tag, such as contractual obligations (ie: a transfer out fee). In these situations Nominet will not override any such agreements between you and your current registrar. .UK domains can be transferred even if they have expired, however it is advisable that you have at least 2 weeks registration remaining on the domain name.
