  1. Unlock the domain & turn off WHOIS privacy.
  2. Copy the Authorization / EPP code.
  3. Ensure admin contact email is accessible.
  4. Start transfer on our site and paste the code.
  5. Approve confirmation emails (3–7 days).

New regs or recent registrant changes may trigger a 60-day lock (ICANN).
