hat is EPP Code?<\/strong><\/p>\n

EPP Code Stands for Extensible Provisioning Protocol which is alpha-numeric code required to transfer domain from one registrar to another registrar. EPP Code is also known as Authorisation Key Or Transfer Secret Key.<\/p>\n

Authorization (or EPP) keys\/codes are generated by the current registrar and verified through the global registries for validity. Authorization (EPP) keys are a security code required by the registry for domain transfer, thus are unique to every domain name. No two EPP\/authorization keys are the same, thus if you are transferring more than one EPP domain, you will need to obtain each domain\u2019s specific code separately for the security reasons.<\/p>\n

EPP key is one of the security precautions to protect your domain being transferred illegally. If anyone other than your registrar requests your EPP Key, you should ensure that you validate the request.<\/p>\n

EPP domains: (.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .cn, .tw, and .in)<\/p>\n

1) Above mentioned domain TLDs require an EPP\/authorization key for transfer.<\/p>\n

2) Only Current registrar can generate EPP Code which is automatically sent to Registrant email address of a domain.<\/p>\n

3) Gaining Registrar initiates transfer request for the domain with the EPP\/authorization key provided by the customer. This request automatically goes to Registrant and Administrative contact email address. Once domain transfer request is accepted, domain is transferred successfully within 5-7 days under new registrar account.<\/p>\n


\nIn order to transfer a domain between registrars, a domain must meet the following requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Domain must be unlocked and should be 60 days old from the date being registered or transferred .<\/p>\n

2) Registrant and Administrative contacts should be valid to approve transfer request.<\/p>\n

2) A domain must be in \u201cACTIVE\u201d or \u201cOK\u201d status. If a domain is in \u201cREGISTRAR-LOCK\u201d, \u201cREGISTRAR-HOLD\u201d, \u201cREGISTRY-LOCK\u201d, \u201cREGISTRY-HOLD\u201d, “EXPIRED”, \u201cREDEMPTION PERIOD\u201d or \u201cPENDING DELETE\u201d status, the global registries will not allow registrar transfer.<\/p>\n

3) Domain contacts should respond to verification mail because domain cannot be transferred unless transfer request is approved which goes to Registrant and Administrative Contact email address.<\/p>\n

Please note that Domains cannot be transferred without an EPP Code. In short EPP\/authorization key plays major role for transferring domain from one registrar to another registrar. EPP Code is not required for UK Domains as UK Domains are transferred by changing IPS TAG only.<\/p>\n

To get epp code you will have to login into client area and click on my domain then clieck on associate domain and click on generate EPP code.<\/p>\n
