How do you transfer your domain name to Loopia from another registrar?

Transfer your domain name to Loopia and become our customer as the registrar (the company responsible for renewing and managing your domain) in two steps: add the domain to your Loopia account, then start a transfer so we take over the administrative responsibility. Both steps, and the requirements per top-level domain, are described below.

Add your domain to a Loopia account

Before we can take over the management of your domain, you need to add the domain to an account with us. You can do this in the Loopia Customer Zone under the heading “What would you like to do?” by choosing Buy or add domain name > Add domain name. If you do not yet have a Loopia account, you can easily create one here. Note that you can only add domain names where the account holder is also the domain holder.

Redelegation (point your domain to Loopia’s name servers)

To get started with your services at Loopia as quickly as possible, you can ask your current provider to switch the domain to our name servers before you start a transfer. A name server change can take up to 48 hours to take full effect, but it usually completes much faster.

  • ns1.loopia.se – 93.188.0.20, 2a02:250:ffff::20
  • ns2.loopia.se – 185.71.156.20, 2a02:250:fffe::20

Name servers cannot be changed while a transfer is in progress. For .com, for example, we therefore recommend changing the name servers and checking that the domain responds as expected before you start the transfer. Last checked: 2026-09-30.

Transfer (move the registrar responsibility to Loopia)

A transfer means that Loopia takes over the administrative and technical responsibility for the domain and handles its future renewals. A transfer normally takes 3–5 days (except for .SE, .NU and .EU, which transfer almost immediately). Once it is finished, Loopia is the registrar for your domain. You can check who the registrar of a domain is at whois.loopia.com.

You will find any cost for transferring a domain to us in the price list on our website. The requirements for each top-level domain are listed below. Last checked: 2026-09-30.

Requirements for .se and .nu

Once you have the authorisation code, log in to your account, click the domain name in the list under Domain names, and then click Transfer of domain name.
