Have you ever been in a situation where your client wants to transfer a domain to you right away but the provider currently managing the domain is unresponsive, busy, or on vacation?

Recently, we tried to transfer one of our client's domains but are met with challenges primarily because not all domain providers are responsive, trained, or have technical expertise in domains like we do, which is ironic if you ask me. It was actually a hassle for the business owner since we did what we were supposed to do and waited for the provider to respond before doing anything else. That’s their domain, after all (pun intended). 

When we realised too much time was being wasted waiting for a reply, we decided to resolve it ourselves using an alternative method.

So, to help other clients or agencies fix the same issue, we thought of sharing our experience on how we were able to resolve it here at Love My Online Marketing. But before going through the steps, let’s first define what an Auth code or an EPP code is.

What is an Auth code or EPP code?

A domain authorisation code (also called an Auth Code or an EPP Code) gives additional security for domain name registration. This code is special to each domain name and is designated by the registrar at the moment of registration.

You'll need an Auth Code to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, and they are required for all domains, especially .com, .net, .org, .us, .biz, .info, .me, .co, .io, .ca, .tv, .in, .mobi, .cc, .pe, .com.pe, .net.pe, .org.pe, .tech, .top, .party, .loan, .faith, and other new gTLD/country code TLD domain transfers.

How To Transfer A Domain Without Contacting The Current Provider?

1. Go to http://whois.auda.org.au and enter a domain name. Select the given Control text then click “Search.”

3. Then, select the password recovery request at https://pw.auda.org.au/, so it will be sent to the registrant’s email address. Just make sure to fill out the following:

• Domain Name*
• Requestor Name *
• Check the Captcha*



Then click on the “Recover” button.

4. The registrant will then receive a no-reply email (no-reply@noreply.email.afilias.com.au) containing the link where you can recover your password. Once you’re done with the retrieval, you can obtain the authorisation code from there.
