Requirements for transferring a petition

Before you begin the transfer process:

● The new owner must have an active Change.org account

● Both the current owner and new owner must contact Change.org support to confirm the transfer, or the current owner can include the new owner in the ‘CC’ section of their email while contacting support

● You will need to provide specific information to verify the transfer request

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: Both the current petition owner and the new account holder must contact Change.org support to request the transfer.
  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
