If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will need a unique code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names refer to the same thing – a code that the domain name owner receives from the present registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the security measures against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even better safety, the code comprises of digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new company with the correct code.
