<p>I am running Bitcoin Core and have yet to synchronize  15 weeks of transactions with the network. Still I was able to send some bitcoins, and the transaction was registered on the blockchan immediately.</p>

<p>That is transaction has been submitted to the network. In was able to see it on <a href="https://blockchain.info" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blockchain.info</a>.</p>

<p>However, the transaction resided in unconfirmed state until my client was fully synchronized with the network.</p>

<p>Answering to the question, yes it is possible to make a transfer, but it will not be confirmed until the sync is over. Check the status at blockchain.info.</p>

<p>Keep this in mind if you need the transfer to be processed fast.</p>

<p>A solution would be to conduct an offline transaction which would be able to be submitted for confirmation immediately. There is a decent <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4q6eal/i_want_to_sign_my_transaction_offline/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">reddit thread</a> chatting about the process.</p>

<p>My wallet hasn't synchronized, can I make a transfer?</p>

<p>I'm assuming that the transaction will not come up on my wallet but im guessing it would come up on the person I send too?</p>
