# Get EPP Code

An EPP code (also called an authorization code or auth code) is a security credential required to transfer a domain to another registrar. It ensures that only the domain owner can authorize a transfer.

## Requesting Your EPP Code

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Your Domain">
    Open your domain's management page and click **Get EPP Code** in the left sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Code Sent">
    The EPP code is sent to the **registrant's email address** on file for the domain. A confirmation message will read: "The EPP Code request was successful! It has been sent to the registrant's email address for your domain."
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  The EPP code is sent to the email address listed in the domain's registrant contact information — not your DigitalFyre account email (unless they are the same). Make sure your registrant email is current before requesting the code. See [Contact Information](/domains/management/contact-information).

## When You Need This
