Export Domain from Cloudflare

Exporting a domain from Cloudflare means transferring your domain registration from Cloudflare to another domain registrar.
This process usually involves unlocking the domain and obtaining an authorization code (EPP code).

How Domain Export Works

1. Log in to Cloudflare
   Open your Cloudflare dashboard and go to the Domain Registration section.
2. Select the Domain
   Choose the domain you want to transfer to another registrar.
3. Open Domain Settings
   Access the domain overview and management settings.
4. Unlock the Domain
   Disable the registrar lock so the domain can be transferred.
5. Get the Authorization Code (EPP Code)
   Cloudflare generates an authorization code required for the transfer process.
6. Transfer to New Registrar
   Enter the EPP code at your new registrar to begin the domain transfer.

Important Notes
