If you’d like to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you will have to go through a few safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP code from the present domain registrar – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email address and no one else can see it. You’ll need to give this code to the new registrar, or else they won’t be able to initiate the domain transfer procedure. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be altered on a regular basis. Certain domain registrars call this code an Auth key, a domain secret or a domain password as well.
