EPP Code (Extensible Provisioning Protocol)

A transfer authorization key required when moving a domain between registrars, ensuring security and ownership verification.

An EPP code, sometimes called an authorisation code, is a unique key used when transferring a domain from one registrar to another. It proves that you own the domain and prevents unauthorised transfers. Your current registrar provides this code when you initiate a move. Without it, no transfer can take place. Keeping your EPP code private is important, as it's essentially the password to your domain. If you ever decide to switch registrars, this small but vital code ensures the process is safe, secure, and fully under your control.
