How to Transfer a Domain to GodaddyIn Feburary 2016 17,

Before you can actually transfer your domain to GoDaddy, first you need to prepare it. Visit the Whois database (link in Resources) and verify that the email address associated with your domain is correct. This is the email address GoDaddy uses to communicate with you during the transfer process. If the email address is listed as private on the Whois database, contact your current registrar to cancel the private registration. The email address must be publicly viewable on Whois before you can proceed. [ref 1]
Unlocking the Domain and Obtaining the Authorization Code
Once you’ve verified that the email address is correct and public, contact the current registrar to ask them to unlock your domain. The domain must be unlocked by the current registrar before it can be transferred to GoDaddy. You also need to obtain an authorization code from the current registrar. Depending on your registrar, this code may also referred to as a transfer key or an EPP code.
Transferring the Domain to GoDaddy
After you’ve unlocked the domain and obtained the transfer authorization code, visit the GoDaddy website and purchase the domain name transfer (link in Resources). Log in to the GoDaddy Account Manager after the purchase is complete and click “Launch” next to the Domains heading. Select “Transfers,” click “Authorize transfer” and then click “Add now.” Enter the transaction ID and security code in the provided fields and then click “Add.” The transaction ID and security code were sent to your email by GoDaddy when you purchased the domain transfer. Next, select the “Basic” tab and enter the authorization code you obtained from the current registrar of the domain. Click “I authorize the transfer,” choose “Finish” and then click “OK.”
Restrictions and Checking the Progress of Your Transfer
Some domain names require a few additional steps before they can be transferred. UK domains, for example, require that you contact the current registrar and request an IPS tag change. If you’re attempting to transfer a foreign top-level domain, consult your current registrar to determine whether additional arrangements need to be made with them before the transfer can go through.Once you complete the transfer request, monitor the status of the transfer through the GoDaddy Account Manager. Log in to your account and select “Domain Management” on the Domains menu. Select “Transfers” to view the status of your transfer.
