If you want to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you will need a unique transfer code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate the same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the current registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a genuine code, a transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the security mechanisms against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For greater safety, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new registrar company with the right code.
