How can I get the domain mapping to change nameservers from WordPress.com?

When trying to get my nameservers changed from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, I keep getting Nameserver not registered. How do I get the domain name to point to WordPress.org?
Help Please

WordPress.org is just blogging software, not a blogging service like WordPress.com. If you want to use WordPress.org, you need to install it on a hosting provider.
If you’re interested, we do offer an upgrade called Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where we take care of everything for you: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
Otherwise, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/
Then, change your nameservers to point to your hosting provider: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers
Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:

http://codex.wordpress.org/We do offer yearly and one-time premium support packages for self-hosted WordPress sites through our VIP program, available at http://vip.wordpress.com
