  Hello!

  The process of transferring is detailed on this page:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/

  The question you are specifically asking is answered here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/change-name-servers/

  This is where you use the information Bluehost provided:

  Changing name servers

  You can manage your domain at Domains, by clicking the domain you wish to manage.

  Click on Name Servers and DNS.

  By default, your name servers will be set to Use WordPress.com name servers. To change your name servers, toggle this off by clicking on the slider to the right.

  Replace the WordPress.com name servers with your new host’s name servers. You must enter at least two name servers with up to four being supported.

  Click the blue Save Custom Name Servers button to save your changes.

  The changes can take up to 72 hours to become active, but typically take only a few hours

  I hope this works out for you!
