In case you’d like to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you’ll need a special authorization code, which may be called by different names – an EPP key, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the current domain name registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a transfer cannot be started and this is one of the protection measures against unauthorized transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For better safety, the code contains digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new domain registrar with the correct code.
