Why is it neccessary that my administrative e-mail contact address is valid in my current registrars database?
One of the most common reasons for Registrar Transfer to fail, is old or incorrect email address on administrative contact of your domain name with the current registrar. Usually the losing Registrar will send email for security reasons to the admin contact address asking you to take action (confirm by replying to email or clicking a link in the email), otherwise the registrar transfer request would be declined by the losing Registrar. If the admin contact’s email address is outdated, you will not be able to receive the email, and there can be no confirmation, and thus, no transfer. You must update your admin contact’s email address with your prior registrar first.
