    Hi Friends
    I have a website say abcs.com but now i wanted to move it to new domain abc.com
    i did 301 page to page redirects, url mapping, content transfer page to page, meta data mapping (page to page)

    Every possible thing i did for the successful site migration.

    Now last thing i need to Change of Address tool in Webmaster Tools to notify Google about my site's move. But the PROBLEM is i do not have the webmaster account of old site (abcs.com) so that i can submit for migration.

    Can anyone please tell me what to do in this situation? Should i need to add and verify ols domain to webmaster tool and then request for migration? or should leave it as its is without bothering? simply add and verify new domain abc.com

    I mean what to do?

    Thanks for the help in advance,

    well that is not necessary, but even though if you are willing to use that tool than simply remove the redirection temporarily and than add the site again to your new WMT acct, verify it and than use notify change of address from WMT

    You need not to have the login credentials of the old WMT account... Just re-verify your old site using your current account. Old site will be active in you new dashboard as well... Then move it...
