If you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a special transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth code, a domain password, etc. All these names refer to the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the present domain name registrar and gives to the new one at the time of the order. Without an authentic code, a transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection measures against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better safety, the code comprises of digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domains, you need to provide the new domain name registrar with the correct code.
