The one's I have come across are .de . I only realized I lost the "aging" on my .de domains when I transferred.
does it also happen to .xxx domains?
Thanks in advance.

So a .de shows as a new registration date when transferred? I had no idea.
.de domains do not have a creation date or anything similar in the whois record. They only have "last changed" date and that changes when you update the whois record (change in nameservers, change of address, ...)
As far as I can remember (10+ years), .de never had a creation date in the whois. Only the last changed date.
I think you are right. but should the date of registration change within your registrar account? not talking about the whois data.
I'm saying when I did a transfer the date the domain was registered was changed to the date it was transferred effectively resetting the clock on the domain. losing value immediately.
.xxx is not a cctld so I'd be surprised if the age resets (cctld's can have quirky rules/outcomes). Why do you think the age would reset for .xxx? Interested too because I've had one since 2013, but never sold/transferred but it would sure be weird for a generic top-level to have happen.right now I'm looking to transfer out .xxx domains but have this feeling the "aging" will reset on them.
Interesting indeed.. sucks for sure if age is important to you. I've always been a proponent of age on a quality name when it comes to legacy extensions. But as far as value, I'd imagine most buyers outside of collectors don't care too much about age.I'm saying when I did a transfer the date the domain was registered was changed to the date it was transferred effectively resetting the clock on the domain. losing value immediately.
The .XXX is a gTLD so the age should remain if it is transferred between registrars. The age is zeroed when the domain name is deleted and reregistered. The ccTLDs have their own ideas about what should go in a WHOIS record and some of them, like DEnic, have a very thin WHOIS with minimal data.The one's I have come across are .de .
