# Vercel DNS records stop auto-creating after moving domain between accounts

I encountered an issue when moving a domain from one Vercel account/organization to another. After the move, Vercel stopped automatically creating DNS records for new deployments and domain assignments.

## Setup

*   Domain was originally connected to Vercel Nameservers and working correctly
*   Domain was then moved to a different account/organization

## Issue

After the move, automatic DNS record creation no longer worked. New deployments and domain assignments did not generate the expected DNS records.

## What I tried

*   Removing the old `_vercel` `TXT` verification record
*   Attempting to claim ownership via the team Domains page

## Workaround

I had to remove the domain from all projects and then reconnect it to a project. After that, automatic DNS record creation started working again.

> **Note:** This workaround can be problematic if you have important DNS records (like `MX` records for email) that you don’t want to lose. I’d suggest backing up all DNS records before attempting this.

It would be great if Vercel could improve the domain transfer/claim process to handle this scenario without requiring full removal and re-addition.

Hey, Moritz! Welcome to the Vercel Community :waving_hand: 

Appreciate you sharing this workaround with the community. We'll share this with the product as feedback. I agree, this isn't a great developer experience.
