1. To transfer a domain to another registrar transmission side should request the domain transfer code from the current registrar technical support (in another words EPP- or Auth-code). When dealing with some registrars, you can view the code for a transfer in the panel of the domain settings.

2. In addition, you should make sure that the security settings of the domain do not have the lock for transfer, and that you have access to email, which is registered in the contact information of the domain owner.
3. Then, the code is transmitted by the receiving side that initiates the transfer. Usually, transfer service in the panel of the registrar looks like “Transfer domain to us.” Created request for transfer must be paid. The cost of transferring the domain to a new registrar is the cost of registering a domain for a year. And this year, in fact, is added to the term of the domain.
4. After the transfer payment is done, the registrar to which a domain was transferred, sends a request to the current registrar to confirm the transfer.
5. As a rule, the transmitting side receives a notification by email with the question to consent to transfer. It can be of two types. The letter may contain a link that you must go to confirm the transfer. Or, as it is more often happens with international registrars, the letter states that to confirm transfer you need do nothing. And in case of refusal you should go to the link in the email.
After confirming the transfer the domain is transferred to the final panel of the receiving party within 5 days.

As a rule, a domain name is transferred prior to its expiration and its term is extended for 1 year by the receiving registrar. If the payment term of a domain name has expired, the domain is not removed immediately. You still have the opportunity to renew the domain within 30-60 days (depending on the registrar).
If the domain is extended on the side of the transferring registrar during these 30-60 days, and then a request to transfer the domain to another registrar was formed, the domain name will lose 1 year of its term, which was added by the transferring registrar.
