The domain transfer process is fairly straight forward, with the first step being to login to your account.

We want to unlock the domain name first:

• Click on the Domain Manager link in the left hand list.
• Click on the domain name you wish to manage.
• Click on the Manage link next to "Locked".
• Uncheck the Locked domains and click OK.
• In a few moments the domain name will be unlocked.

You should also take a moment while managing the domain name to verify your contact information is correct. It's important you are able to access the email address listed on the contact information, as several emails will be sent to complete the transfer. Please check that Private Registration (WHOIS Protection) is Disabled, if enabled you will not receive the transfer approval emails.

The final step in GoDaddy is to request the Authorization (or EPP) Code. You can do this by clicking Send by Email under the Authorization Code section.

Now that you have the authorization code we can start the transfer in our Client Area. You can read about that process here.
