As of 19 October 2026, the .pro transfer costs **$20.99**, billed once, paid in crypto.

## What happens when a .pro domain changes registrar?

Until November 2015, .pro was reserved for licensed professionals. Since then anyone can register it, according to our extension data. Old guides that mention credential checks are out of date.

For a transfer, .pro is an ordinary gTLD run by Identity Digital. The ICANN Transfer Policy gives you these rules:

- one auth code per domain;
- five days for the losing registrar to answer;
- one more year on the term, within ten years in total;
- a possible refusal in the first 60 days after registration or a transfer.

We did not check .pro in registrar notes, so a registry-level lock is not confirmed. Identity Digital's grace periods are documented, though: no transfer during the 5-day Add Grace Period or during redemption.

Consultants often use a .pro for email only. Check the MX records before the move.

## What should you check before moving a .pro domain?

- Make sure the registrant email is current; ICANN asks the new registrar to verify it within 15 days.
- Check MX, SPF and DKIM if the .pro carries your work email.
- Wait 60 days after registration.
- If the domain expired, check that it is not in redemption.

## What does a .pro transfer cost?

$20.99 for the .pro transfer, then $20.99/year to renew ([all prices](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/)). The added year is in that price, and the next renewal costs the same.

## Who uses .pro domains?

Freelancers, consultants, coaches and professional practices use .pro. Tip: a professional email address is often printed on cards and invoices. Test sending and receiving the day after the transfer completes.

## .pro transfer questions

### Do I need a professional licence to hold a .pro?

No. The .pro extension has been open to anyone since November 2015, according to our extension data. A transfer involves no licence check. TransferOffshore asks for one verified email and no ID.

### Does a .pro transfer add a year?

Yes. .pro is a gTLD, and ICANN's Transfer Policy adds one year to the expiry at transfer, up to a 10-year total. The year is included in the price shown above.

### Can I transfer a .pro during the redemption period?

No. Identity Digital, the .pro registry, does not allow transfers during the Redemption Grace Period. The current registrar must restore the domain first. Then the transfer can start.
