In case you wish to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a special domain name authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, and so on. All these names refer to the very same thing – a code that the domain name owner obtains from the current registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without a genuine code, a transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the protection measures against unapproved transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better safety, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to provide the new domain name registrar with the correct code.
