### Disable DNSSEC
2223

23-
<Render file="disable_dnssec" product="dns" />
24+
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+
26+
1. Take note of the <GlossaryTooltip term="time-to-live (TTL)">TTL</GlossaryTooltip> value for the DS record at your current registrar.
27+
2. Remove DS records at your current registrar.
28+
<Render file="dnssec-providers" product="dns" />
29+
3. Wait at least the time corresponding to the DS record TTL. Usually 24 hours, but refer to the value you got at step 1.
30+
4. Follow the steps to [transfer your domain](/registrar/get-started/transfer-domain-to-cloudflare/#set-up-a-domain-transfer) to Cloudflare Registrar.
31+
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.
