transfer request

Ask to move

A transfer request is a formal ask to move something or someone from one place, position, or status to another.

In employment, it typically means an employee's application to change departments, locations, or roles within the same organization: She submitted a transfer request to the Chicago office.

The term also appears in banking, data management, and bureaucratic contexts where assets or records need official authorization to move.
