How do I transfer domain from another registrar to Azure?

Question

Hello. I am looking to transfer domain name to Azure, but I don't see any options to import it to Azure as a registrar (not just DNS settings, but actual domain name management).

Does Azure or O365 offer this option?

Thanks!

Looks like that PS won't work, there is another work around using REST Apis

https://jrudlin.github.io/2018/10/27/domain-name-registration-transfer-to-azure-app-service-domains/

but that seems like recently closed down you'll get an error like this

{
"Code": "BadRequest",
"Message": "Domain transfer in is not supported.",
"Target": null,
"Details": [
{
"Message": "Domain transfer in is not supported."
},
{
"Code": "BadRequest"
},
{
"ErrorEntity": {
"ExtendedCode": "59739",
"MessageTemplate": "Domain transfer in is not supported.",
"Parameters": [],
"Code": "BadRequest",
"Message": "Domain transfer in is not supported."
}
}
],
"Innererror": null
}

You can perform below steps to do the transfer,

Get the authorization code from your registrar
Go to your registrar and get the transfer authorization code. Check that the domain is unlocked for transfer.

Get Powershell scripts
You can get the source code of the Powershell script via your browser or git clone https://github.com/CatchRetry/azure-domain-transfer

Execute the transfer
Close all other PowerShell windows and start a new one as an administrator.
Navigate to the script directory and run the PS script:
cd "C:...\azure-domain-transfer"
.\DomainTransfer.ps1
Confirm the transfer
When you get the confirmation email. Click the confirmation button Now you have to wait up to 5-7 days for the transfer to be complete.

Accept the transfer from your registrar (if you can)
Some registrar let the owner of the domain cancel or confirm the transfer. It allows the operation to be completed before the 5-7 days.

Wait for the transfer to be complete...
Wait and check the resource to be fullly available in you Azure portal.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
