  Hello,
  I bought a domain using Godaddy 3 months ago. I tried to follow the steps via godaddy, got an authorization code for transfer, and then tried to follow this page instructions: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/incoming-domain-transfer/. When I type in my domain name, it says ‘domain name cannot be transferred’. I have it unlocked and have the code, why is it not letting me transfer?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there, is the domain at least 90 days old? If it is and it still won’t transfer, can you check in with GoDaddy to see why it’s locked?

  We can also check on this side, but I don’t see a transfer attempt on this account; can you confirm the domain name?

  In the meantime, here’s how you can connect the domain to your site, even while it’s registered at GoDaddy:

  Let us know if you need help!

  HI there. The domain is 75 days old. I thought it only needed to be 60 days old, so if its 90 days that makes sense. Thanks!
