  Hi there,

  That is correct. ICANN, the body which governs all domains, requires that for the first 60 days after a domain is registered that it not be transferred to another registrar to cut down on potential fraud.

  As soon as those 60 days are up, you’re more than welcome to transfer the domain.

  In the mean time, you can point your domain towards dreamhost’s nameservers by following this help article: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/

  Let me know if you have any questions!
