During the transfer process, you will be asked to provide the EPP code. EPP stands for Extensible Provisioning Protocol.
The EPP key (Authorization code) is one of the safeguards against unauthorized transfers of domain name registrations and it protects your rights as a domain owner. The EPP key is required when transferring .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info and .us domain names. It is not possible to initiate a domain name transfer for these domains without an EPP code.
You will find the EPP code in the DNS section of your domain's management system. It may also be called Authorization Code or Auth Code or Authorization Key. If you do not have access to your DNS for that domain, you will need to contact your current registrar to obtain the EPP key before being able to initiate a domain transfer.
Please note that EPP codes are case sensitive.
