  I have a domain name which I purchased quite a few years back (if I remember from godaddy). I then transferred this same domain to a website hosting service and they have been managing this domain since. This service is no longer viable for my needs and I have cancelled my account but would like to retain the domain to use on wordpress.com. I have been told by the company that I need to transfer the domain into an account at a registrar of my choosing. They have unlocked the domain from their end and given me an authorisation code.

  I know wordpress will not accept incoming domains, but in this case, I need to re-register the domain and if possible would like to do so directly with wordpress.com rather than going to a third party.

  How can I go about this please?

  Thanks and regards

  sorry but you need to keep the domain registered with a third party – no viable way to transfer a domain into WordPress.COM – you can map the domain to a blog here so the name can be used here –
