  I have a domain registered elsewhere. My domain registrar will cease to exist in a few months so if I want to keep my domain then I need to find a new registrar. Can I transfer the registration of that domain to wordpress.com to use with a wordpress.com website?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That’s not possible here. WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#transferring-a-domain-to-wordpress-com

  Howdy annefontenoy –

  As timethief mentioned, WordPress.com is not able to accept domain registration transfers. My suggestion is to find a new registrar and then edit the domain DNS to point to your WordPress.com site.

  Thank you timethief and lizkarkoski for your very helpful replies. I shall think around these thoughts and about how to take this forward.
