  Hey there,

  I am sorry to hear you looking to transfer your domain to Bluehost, do you mind sharing why you moving to this platform?

  You can get your domain’s authorization code when transferring your domain. Start by visiting Upgrades > Domains > [your domain]. Next, select the Transfer button to begin the transfer process, and under Advanced Options select Get authorization code. You can find our full help guide for transferring a domain here:

  

  Domains » Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  in WordPress.com Support

  This guide explains how to transfer a domain registered with WordPress.com to another provider (known as a registrar), such as GoDaddy or 1&1. Before You Get Started Domain transfers can take anywhere from five to seven days to complete. If you would like your domain to start working with your new provider sooner than that, you can first change the name servers to the new host before star

  Hope this helps!

  I too am trying to transfer the domain and require an authorization code which is said to have been sent to my email but even after several attempts I am yet to receive this email. How else can I get the authorization code?
