MMy old registrar doesn't have an option to confirm it btw
Cyou can speed it up by approving the transfer at your old registrar, and it'll happen much quicker. Otherwise have to wait for 5 days or so and it'll be approved automatically
MAnd if my old registrar doesn't have an option to approve it, I'll have to wait?
Cmost registrars do, espec the big name ones. I would double check to ensure it's actually not supported
MI've been told this by their support
Cwell good thing you're transferring away from them
Cit could also depend on the TLD as well (some cctlds have special rules, not 100% sure), but you can def approve and quick transfer com/net/orgs/generic ones
MYep, not even gonna talk about the fact I cannot add DS records on there
MSo I have to wait out?
Cyea, can't do anything if the losing registrar doesn't push it through other then want it out as far as I know
Mokay, thanks
BThe same happened to me somewhere, they were adamant that it could not be done quicker. I ended the chat, started a new one and got to a new person who pushed it through straight away. It's definitely possible for the registrar to push it through sooner, but they don't seem to like doing it.
MWell this amazing service has only one person working right now, probably because of holidays
Mthat is 100% false, here is the relevant RFC:
"The client can approve the request using a <transfer> command with the value of the "op" attribute set to "approve"."
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3730#page-39
dunno of any TLDs that don't follow this rule
however, they are not required to implement this feature iirc, but it does exist.
pretty sure they are required to support DNSSEC as a condition of being given approval as a registrar though

MLooks like that’s not a thing in my country
