In case you wish to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a unique domain authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth code, a domain password, and so on. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a valid code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For greater safety, the code includes numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new domain registrar with the right code.
