Request

Initiates a domain transfer into your Name.com account from another registrar. You must provide the domain name and its valid transfer authorization code (EPP code). The domain must not be locked or under any transfer restrictions (e.g. clientTransferProhibited). If successful, the transfer is submitted and tracked through the ICANN transfer process.
