+**Transfer types and cancellation methods:** The cancellation method depends on the type of transfer:
+
+     * **External registrar to Route 53:** Follow the procedures in this topic (wait for auto-cancellation or contact AWS Support)
+
+     * **Between AWS accounts:** Use the `CancelDomainTransferToAnotherAwsAccount` API or contact AWS Support
+
+Don't contact your current external registrar to cancel a transfer to Route 53, as they can't cancel transfers that are already in progress with AWS.
