The EPP code, which may also be called a domain password or an authorization key/code, is a special code that is required in order to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another.
You can obtain the EPP transfer authorization key from the company you registered the domain name with.
If you want to transfer a domain name to us, you will be required to enter the code during the order process.
If you are trying to transfer a domain name away from us or you simply want to acquire the EPP transfer authorization key of a domain name that is registered with us, you can do that via the Domain Manager section (My Domains > Registered Domains) of your Control Panel.
Next to each domain name there are three icons – you must click on the EPP icon.
Once you click on the EPP icon you will see a small pop-up window with the following text “From here, you can request the EPP Key for your domain name. This key is needed if you want to transfer your domain name to another registrar.“, click on the button Request EPP.
After you click on that button, the EPP key will be sent via email to the registrant contact email address specified in the WHOIS record of the domain name.
If you do not receive the EPP transfer authorization key within one hour, please make sure that you have provided a correct e-mail address in the WHOIS record.
If you need to change that e-mail address, please refer to the article How to change the WHOIS details of a domain name?.
You cannot obtain the code and transfer a domain that you do not own already.
