How to Retrieve the Authorization Code for a Domain
An Authorization Code, also known as an Auth Code, EPP Code or Transfer key is a unique code generated for each domain. It is used to authorize or confirm a domain transfer request from one registrar to another. This code acts as a security measure to ensure that only the rightful owner of the domain can transfer it to a different registrar.
Note: Domains cannot be transferred within the first 60 days of a new registration or a previous transfer. Ensure that Private registration and Locks on your domain have been disabled before following the steps below.
Steps:
Select the Domain Names tab
Click the domain to select
Select Transfer to another registrar located under DOMAIN TRANSFER & LOCKS section
You will be prompted to answer one of your security questions. Provide the secret answer and click “Get Authorization Code”
The authorization code will be displayed and you will have the option to also Export to CSV file
Provide the Authorization Code to your new registrar to initiate the transfer
