An auth (authorization) code is a 6 to 16 character code assigned by the registrar at the time a domain name is created or after it is transferred. The auth code is basically a password for transfer of the domain. Auth codes are an extra security measure, ensuring that only the owner of the domain can make transfers.
All .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .name and .us domains require an auth code. If you do not know your auth code, you can obtain it from your registrar. Please have it ready before you initiate a Transfer of Registrar.
An auth code is only required for .com, .net, .info, .org, .name, .biz and .us domains.
