Transfer of Domain to Other provider
-
Hi, I’m looking to transfer my domain from wordpress.com to a local web hosting company in Australia. I followed the instructions but cannot find the “edit” button under the My Domains page – I think it might be because of the 60 days limit (https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/). I registered my domain on wordpress.com on 26th Sep. Could someone please confirm this limitation?
Is there any other way I can transfer my domain to another provider within the 2 months restriction?
Thanks in advance!!!

Your alternative is what follows.
Move Your Domain to Another Host

Change name servers to point the domain outside of WordPress.com

Hi Jay,
You will indeed need to wait 60 days before you can transfer the domain to a new registrar. (That’s an ICANN rule for new domains and not something WordPress.com can change.)
In the meantime, though, you can Move Your Domain to Another Host, as timethief mentioned. That way you can point your domain to the new host right away, to start using it with your new site there. You can then transfer the domain entirely to another registrar after the waiting period ends.
Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
