Getting Started
Before you can transfer a domain:
• Confirm your administration email address in the domain registry records.
• Verify that the domain is unlocked.
• Obtain the domain's transfer authorization code (also referred to as an EPP or auth code).
Note: Registrar rules vary. Your domain may not be transferable within 60 to 120 days of registration, a previous transfer, or renewal.
