What is my Auth Code or Authorization Code?

To transfer a .com, .net, .org, .biz, .tv, .us, .info, or .name to another registrar, the registry requires that you confirm an auth code or authorization code. The auth code is unique to each domain name and is assigned by the registrar at the time of registration. You need to provide us with this auth code if you want to transfer a domain to us. We do not have access to your domain auth codes if you did not register the name here. These must be recovered at your current registrar. Once your transfer is complete, we store your auth code securely with your domain information.

Current registries assigning auth codes are: Verisign (the .COM and .NET Registry), Public Interest Registry (the .ORG Registry), Afilias (the .INFO Registry), NeuLevel (the .BIZ Registry), and NeuStar (the .US Registry).

Auth codes provide an extra level of security for your domain names.

When you register a NEW .com, .net, .info, .biz, .us, or .name with us, we store and maintain your auth code.
