  Hello, I’m trying to transfer my domain to godaddy but they say I need to remove the privacy. How do I go about doing that? Apparently, it’s something with “domainsbyproxy.”

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

  I figured out the privacy thing. Now I need an authorization code or EPP?

  That’s not a question, sorry. I need an authorization code (EPP) to complete the transfer.

  You may request a transfer, EPP code by visiting the My Domains page at: https://wordpress.com/my-domains

  find the domain you wish to transfer then click Edit
  Next click Transfer Domain
  then click the blue “Request Transfer Code” button

  Please see our domain transfer guide here for complete instructions on how to get an EPP code:

  When I go to My Domains, Edit I only see an “Email” option and “Edit DNS.” I do not see a”Request Transfer Code” button.

  Ah, now I see why. Sorry I miss read your account details. Although your domain is mapped to WordPress.com is it not registered with us.

  A public whois look up shows that the domain is registered with GoDaddy. You will need to initiate the transfer with GoDaddy or make any DNS changes with them.

  Sorry again for missing that the first time around.
