Final answer:

Transferring a domain to Microsoft 365 involves preparing the domain, obtaining an authorization code from the current registrar, initiating the transfer in Microsoft 365 admin center, and then verifying and confirming the transfer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To transfer a domain to Microsoft 365, you generally need to follow a multi-step process which includes preparing your domain with your current registrar, initiating the transfer process in Microsoft 365, and then verifying domain ownership with Microsoft. Here is a step-by-step guide:


  1. Log in to your current domain registrar and unlock your domain.

  2. Obtain an authorization code (also known as an EPP code or transfer key) from your current registrar.

  3. Log into Microsoft 365 admin center.

  4. Go to Setup > Domains and choose 'Add domain'.

  5. Enter the domain name you wish to transfer and follow the steps that Microsoft provides to verify ownership.

  6. Once verified, you can initiate the domain transfer within the Microsoft 365 admin center by providing the authorization code.

  7. Confirm the transfer with your current registrar when prompted, which will typically involve clicking a link in an email sent to you.

  8. The transfer process can take several days to complete, and you will be notified once it is done. Meanwhile, ensure that the domain's DNS settings are managed correctly in Microsoft 365 to avoid any service interruptions.

Remember that the exact steps may vary slightly based on your registrar and certain domain requirements.
