In case you want to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you’ll need a unique transfer code, which may be called by many names – an EPP authorization code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant obtains from the current domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the security mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater safety, the code comprises of numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new domain registrar with the right code.
