Things You'll Need:
- A domain name to transfer.

Step 1
The first step it to choose which domain name you'd like to transfer. Please remember that, per ICANN regulations, the domain must not have been created or transferred within the last 60 days.
-
Step 2
Now, you'll need to ask your current registrar to unlock your domain. Once, unlocked, ask them to provide the 'Authorization Key' for your domain name.
Authorization keys are required to transfer most TLDS like .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ and .US -

-
Step 9

After about 2 hours you should have received your transfer authorization email.
You need to use the link provided in this email to verify your transfer.
*Note, if you selected the fax transfer method you will have to fax your form to eNom. No verification email is needed. -
Step 11
If you have successfully verified your transfer in Step 9, then eNom will submit your transfer request to the Registry.
Your old (losing) registrar now has 5 days to approve the transfer. You may want to contact them and ask them to manually approve the tranfser.
