    So I want to move over to wordpress.org after I decided that wordpress.com was not for me. I created my domain and bought it through wordpress.com last week, so I bought a year long host setup with blue host and I went to go transfer my domain but it won’t let me because I have to wait 54 days because I created it lsat week. Is there anyway to transfer it like today or tomorrow? I need this much sooner rather than later.
    Is there any way I can skip this 54 day period?

    The 60 day waiting period before transferring a domain registration is an ICANN rule that registrars cannot waive.

    However, you do not need to transfer your WordPress.com registered domain in order to use it with Bluehost. Simply follow these instructions to point your domain to your new site:
