What is a transfer code and how do I use it?

A transfer code (also called auth code, authorization code, authinfo or EPP code) is the password that lets another registrar take over your domain.

1. In your dashboard open the domain and the "Transfer" section. Confirm with your password (and a code if you use two-factor).
2. We show the code once. Copy it. We email you that a code was requested; the email does not contain the code.
3. At the new registrar start a transfer ("transfer in") of the domain and enter the code exactly as shown. For .si it is the password itself, not a fingerprint.
4. Approve the transfer if the new registrar asks, and pay its fee if there is one. It takes from a few hours to about 7 days; until then the domain works as before.

If you lose the code, ask for a new one; the old one stops working. The number of codes per domain per day is limited. Requesting a code turns automatic renewal off. Generic endings (.com, .eu and others) usually cannot be moved in the first 60 days after registration, a transfer or a holder change.
