How to Transfer a Domain Name from one Registrar to Another

  1. Check all email addresses and ensure they are valid and current. If there is a private registration, you will have to change it to public.
  2. Unlock the domain(s).
  3. Request an authorization code. You should receive an email with the domain name and code.
  4. Go to the new registrar and initiate a transfer, using the domain name and corresponding authorization code.
  5. In a few days, you should receive an email with a confirmation link.
  6. After you click the confirmation link, the transfer should be completed in a day or so.
  7. Check the DNS settings to ensure everything still works.
