If you would like to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you will need a special transfer code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, and so on. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unapproved transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For greater security, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domain names, you need to provide the new company with the right code.
