Transferring a domain to another registrar.
-
I am trying to transfer a domain to another registrar. I have done everything in the instructions but nothing is appearing in pending transfers in the domain manager.

Could this be a factor?
Transfer to Another Registrar
Note: You may not transfer a domain name for 60 days after its purchase or for 60 days after you change any registrant contact information. This is a rule set by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and standard across all registrars. You can still transfer if you update nameservers or the admin email address. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#transfer-to-another-registrarP.S. I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

@danjhamer-This is for the most part a peer-to-peer forum and timethief has given you the information you need. There is no phone Support here.
Since this thread has been flagged for Staff assistance, please be patient while they get back to you.
In the meantime, I suggest you read the support document tt linked to above, especially the part about changing the nameservers to your new host. That way you can start using the domain with your new hosting right away and then transfer it after the 60 waiting period that ICANN imposes.
-
Your domain has passed the 60 day ICANN-imposed transfer block, so you can transfer following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#transfer-to-another-registrar
Make sure that you follow the guide exactly.
The domain will not appear in Pending Transfers until the transfer has first been initiated at the receiving registrar, the authorization code has been emailed, and the domain has been unlocked.

Hi, I got a message from the registrar I’am trying to move my domain to.
The message is as follows:“Hi Dan, I’ve stepped in a transfer-agent , to help you with carbonfrog.com.
At this stage ,what ever auth code you supplied before, was rejected. the exact error below for you to see:Current transfer: Not OK [rejected_registry] – Canceled – Invalid EPP/authorization key – Please contact current registrar to obtain correct key
now to fix this, I want you to contact yor current hosts (wildwest domains), get them to verify what ever auth code you have in your posession- if they say it matches their account, then we want them to generate a new Auth code for the domain , then you forward that to me, so i can start the transfer -in process once more.
IF they say the code you have is wrong, they will give you the correct one, and your then forward that back to me. Place the code on its own line in the reply-don’t add any text/characters next to it, just the code on its own line. I’ll the use that to restart the transfer in to our system.”
What do I do now?
-
Ok, please try the transfer process again and email yourself a new code.
The codes are time-sensitive, so make sure that you use it immediately.
-
When you say use it, do I need to do anything other than send it to UK2?
Also I just looked at all the emails with “Authorization Info” and the code is the same in all four. Are they supposed to be the same? -
Nope, just send it to the receiving registrar right away.
The code is the same, but its usage window does expire in time.
