If you wish to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a special code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authorization code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the current domain name registrar and provides to the new one at the time of the order. Without a valid code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the safety measures against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even greater security, the code comprises of digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domains, you need to present the new domain registrar with the right code.
