In case you want to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a special domain authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authorization code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the current domain name registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without a valid code, a transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unauthorized transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better security, the code contains digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you wish to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new registrar company with the correct code.
