  I am attempting to transfer one of my domain names to GoDaddy, but (apparently) I have privacy turned on with you so the transfer is stalling. How do I go about turning off the privacy?

  Hi there,

  You can cancel your private registration by logging into your blog’s Dashboard and under Store > My upgrades choose the “Cancel Private Registration” link under the domain.

  Because you have updated your nameservers, to log into your Dashboard now you will need to log in to your blog directly at http://yourblogname.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  If you wish, you can also set your WordPress.com blog domain back to the original blog address (referencing WordPress.com in the URL) in your Store tab under Domains.

  Please let me know if you have any difficulty with this process.

  Thank you so much! Just a quick follow-on question, I am being asked for an Authorization Code, which is given by WordPress. Where would I be able to locate that?

  Instructions on how to transfer your domain to a new registrar can be found here:

  The specific bit on the authorization code is on the same page, but here’s a direct link:
