If you’d like to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you will need a special domain name authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to the very same thing – a code that the domain registrant obtains from the current domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without a valid code, a transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better safety, the code comprises of numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you wish to transfer one of your domains, you have to present the new domain name registrar with the correct code.
