If you do not have access to your domain names control panel then you need to contact your current provider and ask them to change your .uk domain names:
Transfer rules vary from one registrar to the next, contact your provider either by telephone or email and ask them how to change your domains IPS Tag. They will either change it for you or provide access to your domains online control panel with instructions allowing you to do it yourself. In all cases you will have to prove you are a domains legal registrant before a registrar will release a domain. This is normally done by sending a request using the registered email address associated with your domains account, a company fax or sometimes a telephone call is enough depending on the level of your relationship with your supplier.
The moment your domains IPS Tag is changed by the current administration contact to UKSUPERWEB (all capital letters) we will be informed automatically directly from Nominet the .uk registry.
In the event your current registrar does not respond to your transfer requests there's a good chance we can cut them out of the loop all together, it is advised though that this is a last resort after all communication has failed.
