If you wish to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a special authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, etc. All these names denote the exact same thing – a code that the domain name owner obtains from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without a valid code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unauthorized transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better safety, the code includes digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you need to present the new domain name registrar with the right code.
