8 | 8 | ## Before transferring a domain to Cloudflare |
9 | 9 |
|
10 | 10 | * Create [a Cloudflare account](/fundamentals/setup/account/create-account/). |
11 | 11 | * [Add the domain](/fundamentals/setup/manage-domains/add-site/) you are transferring to your Cloudflare account. |
12 | 12 | * [Review your DNS records](/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/#review-dns-records) in the Cloudflare dashboard. |
| 13 | +* If needed, plan for [DNSSEC disablement](#disable-dnssec). |
13 | 14 | * [Change your DNS nameservers](/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/) to Cloudflare. |
14 | 15 | * If initiating multiple transfers, notify your financial institution to prevent them from flagging these charges as fraudulent. |
15 | 16 | * Renew your domain if it is within 15 days of expiration. |
16 | | -* Unlock your domain at your current registrar. |
17 | 17 | * Do not make any changes to the Registrant contact information. Updating the Registrant contact may result in your current registrar locking the domain for 60 days. |
18 | 18 | * Make sure your account has a valid credit card on file. |
19 | 19 | * If you are transferring a `.us` domain, refer to the [Additional requirements for .US domains](/registrar/top-level-domains/us-domains/) before proceeding. |

| 23 | +If you are onboarding an existing domain to Cloudflare, make sure DNSSEC **is disabled** at your registrar. Otherwise, your domain will experience connectivity errors when you change your nameservers. |

| 25 | +1. Take note of the <GlossaryTooltip term="time-to-live (TTL)">TTL</GlossaryTooltip> value for the DS record at your current registrar. |
| 26 | +2. Remove DS records at your current registrar. |
| 27 | + <Render file="dnssec-providers" product="dns" /> |
| 28 | +3. Wait at least the time corresponding to the DS record TTL. It is usually 24 hours, but refer to the value you got in step 1. |
| 29 | +4. Follow the steps to [transfer your domain](/registrar/get-started/transfer-domain-to-cloudflare/#set-up-a-domain-transfer) to Cloudflare Registrar. |
| 30 | +5. [Enable DNSSEC](/dns/dnssec/#1-activate-dnssec-in-cloudflare) at Cloudflare. This will automatically add your DS to the zone parent via Cloudflare Registrar. |
