Requirements for transferring a petition Steps to complete the transfer

You can transfer ownership of your Change.org petition to another person. In other words, you can hand over the role of petition starter to someone else. This process requires coordination between the current petition starter and the person receiving the petition.

Steps to complete the transfer

To transfer a petition on Change.org, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure the new owner has a Change.org account: The person receiving the petition must create a Change.org account using their personal email address before the transfer can be processed.

  2. Contact Change.org support: The current petition starter and the receiving account holder can each contact Change.org support to request the transfer. Alternatively, the current petition starter can CC the receiving person when contacting support.

  3. Provide required information: Both parties must confirm the following details in their support requests:

    • Case ID or reference to the transfer request

    • The petition URL

    • The email address currently linked to the petition

    • The email address to which the petition should be transferred

  4. Wait for confirmation: Once Change.org support receives confirmation from both the current owner and the new account holder, they will process the transfer and notify all parties when it is complete.
