Unlock a Network Solutions Domain

To unlock your domain name and obtain the transfer authorization code:

  1. Go to www.networksolutions.com in your Web browser.
  2. Login using your existing Network Solutions User ID and Password.
  3. You may need to click Continue on a couple of pages to bypass signing up for additional services or features.
  4. If you have several domains and you see a page which lists them, click on the domain name you want to unlock. (Or, it may be a single "Manage It" link.)
  5. You should now see a Domain Details section for your domain name.
  6. Look for the line that says "Domain Protect: On". Click the Turn Off or Request Authorization Code link.
  7. Choose the option to Leave Domain Protect off, and also check the box to Request Authorization Code.
  8. Click the Save button.

Network Solutions will unlock the domain name and send your transfer authorization code by e-mail. Save the authorization code until you're asked for it in the transfer email.
