  Hi, I bought this domain name a few weeks ago. I now want to use WordPress.org instead. Am I able to transfer my domain http://www.jaimieroseinteriors.com from WordPress.com to WordPress.org?

  Site: https://jaimieroseinteriors.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  It looks like you canceled the domain.

  It can take months for canceled domain to re-enter the public market once they exit the recovery grace period, but since you did not receive a refund, I was able to recover it.

  Due to regulations by the organization which oversees all domain registrars (ICANN), you cannot transfer a domain within 60 days of registration, but until then, you can direct your domain to any hosting provider by simply changing the name servers: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/change-name-servers/

  Once 60 days have passed since registration, you can transfer it if desired by following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/
