How to unlock your domain and get an EPP transfer code

Move the registration to your account without confusing it with a website migration.

Before you start

Do not cancel the registration at the old provider. A registrar transfer does not move website files or mailboxes.

What to do

  1. At the current registrar, check the expiry date, transfer eligibility and access to the contact inbox.
  2. Unlock the domain where applicable and request its authorisation or EPP code.
  3. Start a transfer through our Domains page or client portal. Review pricing and any eligible offer.
  4. Enter the code only in the secure order process and follow approval messages.
  5. Check transfer completion and nameservers in the portal.

Check the result

Keep old hosting active until any separate website or email migration is finished.

If you need a hand

Recent registration, transfer or some contact changes can create restrictions. Country-code domains may use other procedures; ask us to check yours.

Open a support request. Include the affected domain and what you tried. Leave out passwords, full payment details, and private keys.
