In case you want to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll need a special transfer code, which may be referred to by many names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain password, and so on. All these names refer to the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the present registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a genuine code, a transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the security measures against unauthorized transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even better security, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new company with the correct code.
