In case you want to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll need a special domain authorization code, which may be called by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, and so on. All these names denote the same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the current domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unauthorized transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For better safety, the code contains digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new registrar company with the right code.
