I need to transfer my domain registration and the steps provided don't work!
-
I need to transfer my domain, but my login screen dashboard does not show any of the information or links I need to transfer registration of StinkbugWars.com to Bluehost. I have called Wild West Domains, Inc. and they sent me to your page en.support.wordpress.com, but I can’t find any of the information or links that http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/#send-the-transfer-authorization-code refers to. HELP!!!! My registration is expiring soon, and I NEED my blog!
1. There is NO Store → My Upgrades in my dashboard, for me to find the domain I want to transfer, and click on Cancel Private Whois.
2. There is NO Domain Administration in my dashboard. -

You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the free hosted WordPress.com blog your are mapping from to the domain ie. the exact same username account that purchased the domain name via a domain mapping upgrade for it.
If you have more than one username account at WordPress.com then log out, clear your browser cache and cookies and log-in under the username account that owns the blog and paid for the upgrade.
Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility -
The WP account has NO blogs registered. I think that may be because I have transferred the hosting. I didn’t realize (and no one mentioned) that the domain didn’t also transfer. Now it’s about to expire, and I can’t even figure out how to pay to reregister it!
When I go in through my Dashboard for StinkbugWars.com – which is with Bluehost – I don’t have any of the links they refer to in the how to transfer a domain article. I also don’t have the My Blogs link listed above.

Hi there – let me try to help get this sorted out.
The domain stinkbugwars.com is registered through us, and is still connected to the account stinkbugwars.wordpress.com.
You’ll need to log into the user account that purchased the domain to do the renewal, and head over here:
http://stinkbugwars.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
Then go to Store > My Upgrades to renew the domain.
If you need further help, please let me know.
