If you want to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll need a unique transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain name password, etc. All these names refer to the very same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the present domain name registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the protection measures against unsanctioned transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For greater security, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new registrar company with the right code.
