Transfer .ae domain from nic.ae (etisalat)

5 min read

Overview #

To transfer a .ae domain from Etisalat (e& enterprise) to AEserver, you need to obtain an EPP (Authorization) code from Etisalat. This code is like a password that proves you own the domain and authorizes the transfer.

The process is simple: you request the EPP code from Etisalat (via support ticket or email), they send it to you, and then you use that code at AEserver to initiate the transfer.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Make sure your domain is NOT in “Transfer Protected” status before requesting the EPP code. If it is, you will need to disable transfer protection first by clicking “Manage” next to your domain on the nic.ae dashboard.

Part 1: Request the EPP Code from Etisalat #

There are two ways to request your EPP code from Etisalat. You can use either method — pick whichever is easier for you.

📋 Method A: Submit a Support Ticket (Recommended) #

1

Go to nic.ae and Navigate to Support → Submit a Ticket #

Open your browser and go to https://www.nic.ae and log in with your account credentials.

Once logged in, click on “Support” in the top navigation menu. A dropdown menu will appear. Click on “Submit a Ticket”.

Navigate to Support and Submit a Ticket on nic.ae

The red arrows in the screenshot show exactly where to click: first “Support” in the top menu, then “Submit a Ticket” in the dropdown.

2

Open the Support Ticket Page #

You will be redirected to the e& enterprise support portal. If you see a login error message like “Invalid username or password” — don’t worry! You don’t need to log in to the support portal separately.

Simply click the “Submit a Ticket” button (as shown by the red arrow in the screenshot below).

Click Submit a Ticket on the support portal
3

Select the Department #

On the next page, you will see a list of departments. Select “Support” (it should be selected by default), then click the “Next” button.

Select Support department and click Next
4

Fill in the Ticket Form #

Now you will see the ticket form. Fill it in with the following information:

First and Last NameEnter your full name (the domain owner’s name)
EmailEnter the email address associated with your domain account
TypeSelect “Domain Transfer” from the dropdown
PrioritySelect “High”
SubjectType: Request for EPP Code for Domain Transfer

In the message body, write the following (replace the placeholders with your actual information):

Dear Support Team,

I would like to request the EPP (Authorization) code for my domain.

Domain name: [yourdomain.ae]

Please provide the EPP code at your earliest convenience so I can proceed with the domain transfer.

If any additional verification is required, please let me know.

Thank you.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
[Your Email]
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Replace [yourdomain.ae] with your actual domain name (e.g., bjorn.ae). Replace [Your Name] and [Your Email] with your real name and email address.

The screenshot above shows how the completed form should look.

Submit the Ticket #

After filling in all the fields and writing your message:

1. Check the consent box “I consent for Etisalat to process my data…”

2. Complete the CAPTCHA verification (click “I’m not a robot”)

3. Click the “Submit” button

Click Submit to send your ticket

The red arrow shows the Submit button at the bottom of the form.

📧 Method B: Send an Email (Alternative) #

If you prefer not to use the support ticket system, you can simply send an email directly to Etisalat’s DNS support team.

Send your request to:
dnsupport@eand.com

Use the same message template as above. Here’s what your email should look like:

To: dnsupport@eand.com
Subject: Request for EPP Code for Domain Transfer

Dear Support Team,

I would like to request the EPP (Authorization) code for my domain.

Domain name: [yourdomain.ae]

Please provide the EPP code at your earliest convenience so I can proceed with the domain transfer.

If any additional verification is required, please let me know.

Thank you.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
[Your Email]
💡 TIP: Both methods work equally well. The email option is faster if you don’t want to deal with the support portal, CAPTCHA, and form fields. Just send the email and wait for a reply.

⏳ Waiting for the EPP Code #

After submitting your ticket or sending the email, Etisalat support will process your request. You will receive the EPP (Authorization) code either:

By email — sent to the email address you provided

In the support ticket reply — if you used Method A, you’ll get a notification

💡 TIP: The response time is usually 1–3 business days. If you don’t hear back within 3 days, follow up by replying to the ticket or sending another email to dnsupport@eand.com.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Keep your EPP code safe and do not share it with anyone you don’t trust. The EPP code is like a password for your domain — anyone with this code can initiate a transfer.

Part 2: Transfer the Domain to AEserver #

Once you have received the EPP code from Etisalat, follow these steps to complete the transfer at AEserver.

6

Go to AEserver Transfer Page #

Open your browser and go to:

https://www.aeserver.com/transfer-your-domain-names/

You will see the AEserver domain transfer page with a search field where you can enter your domain name.

7

Enter Your Domain Name and Click SEARCH #

In the search field, type your domain name (for example: yourdomain.ae) and click the red “SEARCH” button.

Make sure you enter the full domain name including the .ae extension.

8

Enter the EPP / Authorization Code #

After clicking SEARCH, a new panel will appear with two fields:

Domain Name — your domain name will already be filled in

Authorization Code — paste the EPP code you received from Etisalat here

After entering the EPP code, click the “Add to Cart” button.

Enter EPP code and click Add to Cart

The screenshot above shows the transfer form on AEserver with the “Domain Name” and “Authorization Code” fields, and the “Add to Cart” button.

9

Complete the Order #

After clicking “Add to Cart”, you will go through the standard checkout process — just like when you register a new domain. This typically includes:

1. Review your cart — make sure the domain name and transfer fee are correct

2. Create an account or log in — if you don’t have an AEserver account yet, you’ll need to create one

3. Enter your contact details — fill in your name, address, phone number, and email

4. Choose payment method and pay — complete the payment for the transfer/renewal fee

5. Confirm the order — review everything and confirm

10

Wait for the Transfer to Complete #

The domain transfer process typically takes a few hours to a few days to complete. You will receive email notifications from both Etisalat and AEserver about the transfer status.

💡 TIP: After the transfer is complete, log in to your AEserver account to verify that the domain appears in your dashboard and that all DNS settings are correct. If you had custom DNS records (like A records, MX records, CNAMEs), you may need to set them up again at AEserver.
