If you would like to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll have to go through a couple of safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP code from the present registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email address and no one else can get it. You’ll need to provide this code to the new domain name registrar, otherwise they will not be able to initiate the domain name transfer process. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special symbols such as dots or commas, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an additional security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be altered regularly. Some registrars call this code a domain secret, an Auth key or a domain password as well.
