  Hello,

  Follow these steps to get your EPP code:

  1. Go to your My Domains page here https://wordpress.com/my-domains/.
  2. Select your domain from the drop-down menu (if it has not already been selected).
  3. Click the Edit button next to it and a new window will pop-up.
  4. Click Transfer Domain from the left sidebar.
  5. Make sure that the Disable the Domain Lock… and Disable Private Registration boxes are unchecked.
  6. Click Request Transfer Code

  The EPP code will be sent to the email address on file for your domain. If you didn’t receive the email, make sure the email on file for your domain is correct. You can send the code again from Transfer Domain by clicking Email Transfer Code.

  Follow your new registrar’s instructions on where to enter the EPP code.

  Once you initiate the transfer, there is a waiting period of five days. During this period, you will receive an email to confirm or cancel the transfer. After confirmation, the domain will be transferred within five days.

  You can bypass the five-day waiting period by going to My Domains, and clicking Edit. Select Transfer Domain, and then Accept Transfer. This will initiate the transfer immediately.

  Here’s the support page on transferring a domain to another registrar: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/
