After the transfer processes (5-7 days after payment) you should verify that the transfer completed successfully.   You should receive an email letting you know the transfer status. There are three additional ways that you can verify that the domain name transferred to RescueGroups.org:

1. Use a Whois tool to verify that the domain name registrar is now listed as 'PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com'. This is our vendor for domain name registration.
2. Verify with your original registrar that the domain name has transferred away.
3. Check your Services page to verify that the domain name is listed (Services > Account Administration > Your Services then Domains > My Domains).
