I have enabled DNSSEC for my domain name. However, after I transfer the domain name to another registrant, I no longer have DNSSEC. Why is this so?

Similar to all information that is attached to the domain name, the new registrant would need to provide information of new Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Billing Contact, name servers, etc. So naturally the new registrant would also need to decide if DNSSEC is to be enabled or not. This is also to ensure that the DS Records always match the signature for the zone file. If new name servers are used and not being signed or signed with different keys, it may cause the domain name not able to be resolved.
