this includes several steps but in overall:

 

- Create a new tenant

- How is the identitys created/synced? How do the current setup look! Users in common AD today? Cloud only?

Is their domainname in current tenant - Shall it be moved or replaced?

If moved - the domainname need to be decommissioned in the current tenant then added to the new one

Regarding migration a third-party tool is recommended..There is a few great tools out there - just search for Office 365 migration tools

The DNS records for the domain needs to be setup for the domain(s) used

Will the same DNS provider be used, same domainname or new?
