Restrictions for transferring .cl domains:

Since domains have an expiration date, they follow a lifecycle that goes through different phases. This lifecycle is established by ICANN, the entity in charge of domain regulations. In the following graphic we show you the lifecycle of a .cl domain and its states.
- Available domain: the domain has not yet been registered, therefore it is free for registration. When a registration request is sent, it will be assigned to the first request received.
- Registered domain: when a request is sent for a free domain, it is assigned to the person who requested it. When sending a registration request, it can be requested for 1 to 10 years.
- Active domain: the domain will be active for the number of years requested at registration. During this period, it may be extended starting two months before expiration.
- Redemption period: this period lasts 30 days, during which the domain has been deleted but can be restored and renewed at a higher price.
- Pending delete period: the domain cannot be restored and will be released.
