The outcome

This is a handoff preparation aid, not legal or registrar-transfer advice. It deliberately separates account control, registrant authority, and client acknowledgement.

Workflow

  1. 1.Confirm the client and domain scope before recording access or operational detail.
  2. 2.List the information location for every account; never put credentials or recovery codes in the checklist.
  3. 3.Make open renewal, transfer, DNS, or certificate work visible with an accountable owner and deadline.
  4. 4.Ask an authorized client reviewer to acknowledge the issued handoff or request a correction.
