How to find your auth/EPP code

The auth code always comes from your current (losing) registrar, never from Transcom. Where to look varies:

• In their control panel — look under the domain's settings for 'Auth code', 'EPP code', 'Transfer key', 'Authorisation code' or 'Get transfer code'.
• By email — some registrars won't display it and instead email it to the registrant contact. Make sure that mailbox is working.
• On request — a few require you to open a support ticket to release it.

Tips:

• Unlock the domain first — some registrars won't reveal the code until the lock is off.
• Copy and paste the code; it's case-sensitive and often contains symbols that are easy to mistype.
• If the transfer later fails with an authInfo/authorization error, the code is wrong or expired — regenerate a fresh one and try again.

.uk domains have no auth code — you change the IPS tag instead.
