  Hi. First of all, just in case, I’d like to clarify that there’s no obligation for you to have your domain name registered at the same place as it is hosted. In other words, the hosting company and the registrar can be two different companies.

  If you bought the domain name through WordPress.com, you can simply change the nameservers to those of your new hosting company like this:

  If you still want to switch registrars, this is how to get the authorization code:

  Please see here for instructions:

  Note: You may not transfer a domain name within 60 days of purchase or for 60 days after any contact information is changed. This is standard across all registrars. It is a rule set by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#transfer-to-another-registrar
