301 redirected all my pages to my new domain, now I have a problem with Google Search Console

Hi guys!

I bought a new domain name and redirected all my URLs from the old domain to the new one.

Everything worked perfectly but now I have a little problem.

I want to use the option 'Address Change' in google search console.

Step 1 Works (Select new website in the list)

Step 2 Works (Confirm that the 301 are working)

Step 3 Asks me to Verify the old domain (huh!?) in order to complete the request. Obviously that doesn't work because my 301s WORKS! So if I try to verify the old website by putting a google file in the root of my domain Google tries to access it and it automatically redirects to the new domain.

I must be missing something lol

help!

Nevermind guys I got it to work.

Added a CNAME as a method of validation if someone is interested.
