If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will need a special transfer code, which may be referred to by many names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth code, a domain password, and so on. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain name registrant receives from the current registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the security mechanisms against unapproved transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better security, the code includes numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you wish to transfer one of your domain names, you have to provide the new domain name registrar with the right code.
