  Happy to help!  As per industry-wide domain regulations, it must be at least 60 days since the domain was registered or last transferred before you can transfer it. If it has been fewer than 60 days, you can change the name servers to connect your domain to another service until it is eligible for transfer, like this: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/change-name-servers/

  If you’d like to continue managing your DNS records through WordPress.com as well, to keep connected services such as email working without having to set those up at your new site host, then you can also point your domain to an external site’s IP address following these steps: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/setting-custom-a-records/

  I hope this helps!
