If you still wish to transfer your domain name away from Acenet, kindly follow the instructions provided below to obtain your domain's EPP/authorization code.

[2] Click on the tab.

[3] Click the View Details icon to the right of the domain you're wanting to transfer away.

[4] Click the button.

Please ensure you have access to the registrant contact email address located under the WHOIS information for the domain. Please review this guide to view/update your WHOIS information: http://kb.acenet.us/Change_your_domain_registration_WHOIS_Contact_Information

Optional: You're unable to update your domain's name servers while the transfer is processing, which usually takes a couple of weeks to complete. So, you will want to make sure your domain is pointed to the proper name servers before initiating the transfer. You can do so under the 'Nameservers' section. Click the button under the 'Nameservers' section if you update your domain's name servers.

[5] Make sure that 'Registrar Lock' is unchecked.
