Most domain registrars require an EPP/authorization code in order to transfer a domain name. This provides an extra layer of security and protects against unauthorized transfers.
A Domain (Transfer) Secret or Authorization (Auth)/EPP Code is a code assigned by the Registrar at the time the domain name was Registered. This Domain (Transfer) Secret acts like a password for a domain name, ensuring that only the owner of the domain can Transfer their domain name.
To Transfer any domain name, of any of the following TLDs (extensions), you would require to first obtain the Domain (Transfer) Secret or Auth./EPP Code from your Current Registrar:

In the event that you are not able to locate your Domain (Transfer) Secret or Auth/EPP Code, you need to contact the Support Team of your Current Registrar, to obtain the same.
