Unable to transfer domain to cloudflare although the domain is unlocked
Hello, I have recently added a new domain to my account that is currently on another provider, I have already unlocked the domain on the other provider (weeks ago) and have the transfer key, but cloudflare doesn't show it on the options to transfer domain. What can I do to be able to transfer it?

Have you added the Cloudflare Nameservers to the domain on the original registrar?
No, I don't have access to the old registrar. I am doing this transfer for a client
The only thing I have is the key to transfer it
Registrar requires Cloudflare Nameservers set to be able to transfer it.
?? But every other registrar allow to transfer without having the nameservers pointing to cloudflare
Is there not a way to solve this?
Cloudflare's Registrar isn't a standalone registrar/a normal one. It's more of a value add for existing customers. It requires you to use Cloudlfare nameservers and you can't change away, so you have to set it up fully first, and then you can transfer.
No way to bypass afaik, a helpful safety thing as well to ensure people understand they need to use Cf DNS
I see... that's a severe inconvenience
I find the meassure completely innecesary. People working with DNS records and domains already know the deal.
I don't see the need for this block.
Let's see how I solve it
Thanks for the help
