You never transfered a domain before huh?

Most of the time it works like this right now:

You go to the new registrar and say "I want to transfer domain xyz.com to you" they say ok, and initiate it.

A short time later you get a mail from the current registrar saying someone initiated a transfer, to ok it go to URL XYZ and enter ABC to confirm the transfer.

When you do that, the domain is basically transfered.

It changes from registrar to registrar how they exactly do it, but thats the general idea.

The change going into place now is that the NEW registrar has to verify who you are and not the old one. The reason they changed this most likely is that there are a bunch of registrars out there that try to make it difficult to move away from them so you have to pay another year.
