  See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/transfer-code-request-problem?replies=4#post-2565161 please

  Your transfer code should be sent very soon after you request it. If you don’t see it right away, be sure to check your spam filter or other folders as our emails can sometimes get caught up there.

  You may also need to check that email on file for your domain name is correct. It may not be the same as the email address associated with your WordPress.com account. Here is some information on how to do that:

  Domain Contact Information and Privacy Settings

  You should also check your My Domains page at https://wordpress.com/my-domains to check on the status of your transfer. If you’ve already started the domain transfer process from your new domain registrar, it may already be in process since the domain name has been unlocked. If so, you may have the option to Accept the transfer from within your dashboard.

  You can read more about the domain transfer process here:
