Cloudflare Registrar API beta now supports domain transfers.

You can now use the Cloudflare API to:

- Initiate a supported domain transfer into Cloudflare Registrar.
- Poll transfer status through a dedicated status endpoint.

Before starting a transfer, the domain must already have a zone in your Cloudflare account, DNSSEC must be disabled, and most extensions require an authorization or EPP code from the current registrar.

Transfers are asynchronous and typically take 1 to 10 days to complete, so clients should poll the transfer status endpoint to track workflow progress.

For transfer initiation and status details, refer to:

- [Initiate Transfer API reference ↗︎](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/registrar/subresources/transfer_in/methods/create/)
- [Get Transfer Status API reference ↗︎](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/registrar/subresources/transfer_in_status/methods/get/)
