Authorization Codes (EPP Codes)¶

Use this page to understand domain authorization codes, also called EPP codes. These codes are usually required before a domain can transfer to another registrar.

Transfer Checklist¶

To transfer a domain registration to Fused, you usually need to:

1. Retrieve the authorization code from the current registrar.
2. Unlock the domain at the current registrar.
3. Start the domain transfer with Fused.

For example, when moving a domain from GoDaddy to Fused, retrieve the GoDaddy authorization code, unlock the domain at GoDaddy, then submit the transfer to Fused.

EPP Code Exemptions¶

Some domain extensions use a different transfer process. .uk domains use an IPS Tag, which the current registrar changes before the transfer. If you are moving a .uk domain, contact Fused so we can provide the correct tag.

Domain Names That Cannot Be Migrated¶

Some domain extensions are not transferable through the standard EPP process, including .bz, .cc, .gd, .im, .tc, .tel, .tv, .vg, and .ws.
