How to Transfer a Domain Away from GoDaddy

1. Sign in to your GoDaddy Domain Portfolio.

2. Select an individual domain to access the Domain Settings page.

3. Under the Transfer section, toggle to 'Off' to unlock the domain.

4. Click the link to 'Transfer to Another Registrar'

5. On the next page, click the black button in bottom right that says 'Start Transfer.'

• (Domains with Domain Protection require additional identity verification. If you've had 2-step verification (2SV) turned on for at least 24 hours, enter the code we sent via SMS, or enter the code from your authenticator app. Otherwise, enter the one-time password we sent to the email address on your GoDaddy account.)

6. Select 'Click here to see Authorization Code', select Copy to Clipboard to copy your authorization code and email it to [email protected]. You should also receive an email with your auth code, and you can forward that to us.

• After the domain is unlocked and the authorization code shared we can transfer to our registrar, at which point you'll receive an email from GoDaddy asking to confirm the transfer.

7. You'll need to approve the transfer (click here for instructions).

After approval, it can take a week for it to complete.
