A domain transfer code (also called an Authorization Code, Auth-Code or transfer code) may be required to complete your domain transfer. Its purpose is to help identify the domain name holder, ensuring the person initiating the transfer is legitimate.
You can:
- retrieve your transfer code by logging in your current Registrar account directly
- ask your current Registrar for your domain transfer code. According to ICANN regulations, Registrars are required to provide you with the domain transfer code within 5 days.
