Transfers a ___domain name from another registrar to Cloud Domains. For domains already managed by Google Domains, use registrations.import instead.

Before calling this method, go to the ___domain's current registrar to unlock the ___domain for transfer and retrieve the ___domain's transfer authorization code. Then call registrations.retrieveTransferParameters to confirm that the ___domain is unlocked and to get values needed to build a call to this method.

A successful call creates a Registration resource in state TRANSFER_PENDING. It can take several days to complete the transfer process. The registrant can often speed up this process by approving the transfer through the current registrar, either by clicking a link in an email from the registrar or by visiting the registrar's website.

A few minutes after transfer approval, the resource transitions to state ACTIVE, indicating that the transfer was successful. If the transfer is rejected or the request expires without being approved, the resource can end up in state TRANSFER_FAILED. If transfer fails, you can safely delete the resource and retry the transfer.

JSON representation

JSON representation
{ "registration": { object (`Registration`) }, "contactNotices": [ enum (`ContactNotice`) ], "yearlyPrice": { object (`Money`) }, "authorizationCode": { object (`AuthorizationCode`) }, "validateOnly": boolean }

{
  "registration": {
    object (Registration)
  },
  "contactNotices": [
    enum (ContactNotice)
  ],
  "yearlyPrice": {
    object (Money)
  },
  "authorizationCode": {
    object (AuthorizationCode)
  },
  "validateOnly": boolean
}

Fields
`registration`	`object (Registration)` Required. The complete `Registration` resource to be created. You can leave `registration.dns_settings` unset to import the ___domain's current DNS configuration from its current registrar. Use this option only if you are sure that the ___domain's current DNS service does not cease upon transfer, as is often the case for DNS services provided for free by the registrar.
`contactNotices[]`	`enum (ContactNotice)` The list of contact notices that you acknowledge. The notices needed here depend on the values specified in `registration.contact_settings`.
`yearlyPrice`	`object (Money)` Required. Acknowledgement of the price to transfer or renew the ___domain for one year. Call `registrations.retrieveTransferParameters` to obtain the price, which you must acknowledge.
`authorizationCode`	`object (AuthorizationCode)` The ___domain's transfer authorization code. You can obtain this from the ___domain's current registrar.
`validateOnly`	`boolean` Validate the request without actually transferring the ___domain.
