8) An email will be sent to the current admin contact asking them if they wish to accept the transfer. We cannot change where this email is sent to, it has to go to the admin contact currently listed by the registrar. The admin contact will also have to put the Auth code into this email.

Once this is done it can take 2 - 5 days for it to be processed by the registry and then the transfer will complete.
