  Hi @vanessawoolley,

  While you can’t transfer your domain during the first 60-days lock period, you can connect it to your site. Please be aware that using a customized domain requires the purchase of a WordPress Pro plan. Follow the steps from the link to connect your domain to your site:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  And once you’ve owned it for at least 60 days, you can transfer it. Those articles will help you to learn different types of transfer of your domain in the future.

  If you would like to transfer your domain registration to WordPress.com please follow the link:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  If you have a domain registered with another provider that you’d like to use on WordPress.com without transferring the registration to us get help from here:

  Let us know if you run into any trouble with this process.
