# Transfer domain between two vercel accounts

Hi

I am trying to transfer a domain from an old account to a new one. I removed the project entirely and the domain from the global Domains page. 

When I try to add it on the new account’s Domain page I get the following error.

“Cannot add <domain> since it's already in use by one of your projects (pending verification).”

I am using Porkbun as a registrar and recently removed the Vercel nameservers from there to remove all traces of connection. Is this just something that takes time? 

Thanks in advance

The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for [bonus points](https://community.vercel.com/t/introducing-the-vercel-leaderboard/1358).

You can also use [v0](https://v0.dev/) to narrow down the possibilities.
