To avoid form rejection, use the following tips when completing the form:
- The signatures on the Service Transfer form must come from an officer or an owner of the company.
- The owner or officer must initial any changes regarding an increase in MMR or added devices or domains that are made to the form after the initial submission.
- No blank fields are allowed on any form, except where indicated. You cannot type Same in any field.
