> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/administrator/registrations/transferring-applicant-records.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

> This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

When an applicant was registered twice, or an organisation has changed, you can move its records to
another applicant.

Labels that name `Applicant`, `Application`, `Contract` and `Milestone` use your organisation's own
term if you've renamed it.

## Transfer an applicant's records

1. Open the applicant from `Applications > Applicants`.
2. Select `Transfer Records`.
3. Check the `Applications`, `Contracts` and `Milestones` listed. Every one of them moves; the
   applicant keeps none.
4. Under `Transfer to`, choose the applicant to receive them.
5. Select `Transfer`. You see that the records now belong to the applicant you chose.

If there is no other applicant in your organisation, there is nothing to transfer the records to.

## Delete an applicant

Select `Delete` (the button names the applicant's registration type) and confirm. The applicant is
removed from `Applicants`; everyone who acts for it keeps their account but no longer acts for it.

An applicant that still holds applications, contracts or milestones cannot be deleted: transfer its
records first.
