  I need to transfer domain ownership to reflect those currently in charge of paying for the domain name.

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

  Are you transferring it to another WordPress.com user? Or to an unrelated (to WordPress.com) third party?

  Hi there,
  The sole owner of any blog is the person with the username account who registered the blog, who is the original Admin of the blog, and who purchased the upgrades for the blog. That blog owner can transfer the blog to another WordPress.com username account.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them or transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account.

  To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.

  Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.

  user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  Lastly you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  And are you just transferring the domain name itself, or are you transferring a complete WordPress.com site?
