How do I transfer a domain from one Freenom account to another?

Transferring a domain to another Freenom user works exactly the same as transferring a domain in or out of your Freenom account:

1. Make sure the domain does not have its transfer lock applied. You can check this by choosing the 'Transfer Lock' option from the 'Management Tools' tab.
2. Get the transfer authorization code for the domain. You can get the code from the 'Transfer Authorization Code' page, also on the 'Management Tools' tab.
3. Give the code to the new user.
4. The new user can then navigate to the 'Transfer a new domain' page: https://my.freenom.com/domains.php?a=transfers and start the transfer process from there.
5. The new user will have to enter the auth code when prompted and pay for a one year renewal of the domain.

Please note that it is only possible to transfer paid domain names between accounts.
