Step 1: Unlock Your Domain at Your Current Registrar
Before transferring your domain, you need to unlock it at your current domain provider and get the Authorization Code (EPP code).
Log in to your current domain registrar’s account.
Go to your domain management or DNS settings.
Find the domain you want to transfer and unlock it (disable domain lock/privacy).
Request or copy the Authorization Code or EPP code—this is required for domain transfer.
Note: If you are having trouble accessing the EPP code from Zarla domain, you can email hello@zarla.com to retrieve this.
Step 2: Log in to Your GoDaddy Account
Go to GoDaddy.com and sign in to your existing account or create a new account.
Step 3: Go to the Domain Transfer Page on GoDaddy
Navigate to the Domain Transfer page:
Go to Domains > Transfer Domain to GoDaddy or directly visit: https://www.godaddy.com/domains/domain-transfer
Step 4: Enter Your Domain Name
Type the domain name you want to transfer in the search box.
GoDaddy will check if the domain is unlocked and eligible for transfer.
Step 5: Enter Authorization Code
When prompted, enter the Authorization Code (EPP code) you obtained from your current registrar.
Step 6: Confirm Domain Contact Details and Privacy
Review the domain contact information to ensure it is correct.
Domain Privacy Protection will be turned off during the transfer to allow contact info to be shared.
Step 7: Complete Transfer Purchase
Pay the domain transfer fee (GoDaddy typically charges a transfer fee which often includes one year of domain renewal).
Complete the checkout process.
Step 8: Approve Transfer Request
You will receive an email at the domain’s administrative contact email with a transfer approval link.
Approve the transfer within the time frame provided (usually a few days).
Step 9: Wait for Transfer Completion
Domain transfers usually take 5–7 days to complete unless the current registrar approves the transfer earlier.
You can track the transfer status in your GoDaddy account under your domain list.
Important Notes
Domains cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or recent transfers.
Disable any domain privacy or protection before transfer.
Verify your identity if GoDaddy asks for two-step verification.
