EnCirca Inc

Transfer Claims Form

EnCirca has been tapped by ICANN to handle the bulk transfers from a number of discontinued registrars.

First, please confirm if your domain has been transferred to EnCirca by checking: https://lookup.icann.org/.

Please DO NOT create a new EnCirca account if you are a new customer! We will create your account when we transfer your domains. You will receive a further email with login instructions when your account is created.

We anticipate that many domains will remain unclaimed due to bounced emails or inoperable proxy services.  Locating rightful owners will be problematic since the data escrow is often devoid of any identifying ownership information.

To mitigate for these challenges, EnCirca has created this special claims form.


Encirca is a full-service registrar.

We support your domain needs from start to finish.

Blockchain FAQs

  • Will I be able to search for and find blockchain domain websites on Google or other search engines?Major search engines do not currently index blockchain domain websites. For now, you will be able to search for them at unstoppabledomains.com, on partner applications that integrate our search bar, or on blockchain apps that index blockchain domain websites.

  • How do trademarks work with blockchain domains?Trademark holders with proof of ownership can apply to claim ownership of trademarked names. If a trademark name has already been sold, then it will be refunded. Note – this process ends once domains have been distributed. Unstoppable Domains does not have the ability to move a domain once distribution has occurred.
  • How do payments work with my blockchain domain?Add your bitcoin, Ethereum, and Zilliqa addresses to your .zil or .crypto domain inside of the ‘my domains’ section at unstoppabledomains.com. When someone types yourname.zil into a supporting wallet, the wallet looks up that domain on the blockchain, finds the appropriate address, and sends to the address associated with that name.
