Hi @Debjoty Mitra Currently , there's no direct option to transfer a domain out of Azure App Service to another registrar within the Azure portal.

However here is a workaround you can use to achieve your scenario:

Transferring of domain out of Azure (not a registrar) to another registrar is supported and you may currently do so via API and PowerShell. You will need to get an authorization code which you can take to the registrar of choice to proceed with transferring out of your domain.

You won’t be able to transfer your domain within 60 days of these events:

1. New domain registration
2. Transfer between different registrars
3. Change to registrant contact information

For any “.uk” domains, you’ll need the new registrar’s IPS tag. Create a support case and provide us the IPS tag. We will assist with updating the IPS tag on your domain to your new registrar and then you can complete the transfer out process with your new registrar.

The authorization code is a unique string of characters consisting of letters, numbers, and special characters (ie. ? ! ^) that is required to transfer a domain from one registrar to another.

Getting authorization code with transfer out API. You can use the transfer out API:

PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<SUBSCRIPTION-ID>/resourceGroups/<RESOURCE-GROUP-NAME>/providers/Microsoft.DomainRegistration/domains/<DOMAIN-NAME>/transferout?api-version=2021-02-01

You may be able to run this API on Azure Resource Explorer. Fill out the necessary information in between the “<” and “>” from the above, then paste the API call to you Azure Resource Explorer. Highlight the entire line from “PUT” until “api-version=2021-02-01” and hit Ctrl+S to run the command. You would expect similar results from the image below.

Refer to the “authCode” value without the double quotes (“). This will be the authorization code you will need to provide the new domain registrar to transfer your domain out.

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Best,
