  Hi there,
  
  I wanted to confirm your domain URL and that you’re trying to transfer the domain over to WordPress.com?

  Due to the 60-day transfer lock ICANN policy, you are not able to transfer a domain from the initial host until it has been registered for 60 days:

  https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/

  In the meantime, if you want to use the domain with your WordPress.com site, you can purchase a domain connection subscription.

  To begin, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you can purchase the connection subscription upgrade as a part of a paid plan so that you can connect your domain to your WordPress.com site. I believe the Personal Plan is a great initial option for you, as it provides you the domain connection subscription along with no ads, extra storage space for your images, and email support:

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
