hi,
If it is a newly registered domain, you can transfer your domain after 60 days.
You will need to sign up for one of the paid plans.

And if you have not used the free domain in your plan, the cost of the transfer will be included in your plan.
If you transfer the domain to us we become your registrar. So you will pay us for future renewals of your domain.https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/
Let us know if you have more questions.

hi,
I forgot to mention that you need to check that your top level domain is accepted in WordPress.com first.

To use a domain URL you purchased elsewhere on any wordpress.COM site you will need to upgrade first and then map to an existing domain.
We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/
There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
To map an existing domain see http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.
What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
Alternatively, there is information on how to proceed with an incoming domain transfer at https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
