Are you asking how to map to an existing domain from a wordpress.COM blog URL?
Please read first:
Important Notes Before Upgrading https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingNOTE: WordPress.COM blogs do not have permanent IP addresses. IP addresses here can and do can change over time and your domain may stop working if you rely on them.

re: mapping an existing domain
All wordpress.com blogs are on .wordpress.com subdomains.
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it, and also renew the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you do not register a .wordpress.com blog URL first then the software supplies the dot whatever URL so you can proceed with your domain mapping purchase.

Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History

It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

I have a domain attached to this wordpress.com account called “kagyudechenling.org”. Since I am going to use that domain elsewhere (not with wordpress.com), I need to unlock it and initiate the transfer procedure to another provider. However, I cannot locate the usual links on my dashboard to do that. Please advise.

Hello!
I can see that kagyudechenling.org is mapped to a WordPress.com site, however, it is actually registered through a third-party company. This is the reason you’re not able to see the option to transfer.
The publicly available WHOIS information for the domain indicates that it was registered with 1&1. I recommend contacting their support team for more help:

Let me know if you have extra questions around that.

Just saw too. Sorry for having bothered you with an inexistent problem.
Thanks for your time.

It’s no bother at all! We’re happy to point you in the right direction, if needed. I hope you were able to successfully transfer your domain.
