If you want to transfer a domain from one company to another, you will need a unique transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by many names – an EPP authorization code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names denote the very same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety measures against unsolicited transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better safety, the code comprises of digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to provide the new registrar with the correct code.
