If you would like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll need a unique transfer authorization code, which may be called by many names – an EPP key, an Auth code, a domain name password, etc. All these names denote the exact same thing – a code that the domain owner receives from the current domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain name 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 safety, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to provide the new registrar with the right code.
