In case you want to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you will need a special transfer code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, and so on. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the current domain name registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unauthorized transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better security, the code comprises of digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new registrar with the right code.
