Get auth codes from NameBright in bulk — How to

Want to transfer your expired domain wins to another registrar? Here’s how to get authorization codes from NameBright in bulk.

DomainCatch is one of the best platforms for snapping up fully deleting domain names.

When you win domains at DropCatch, they are automatically added to a NameBright account. NameBright is owned by the same firm as DropCatch.

You can keep your domains at NameBright, and it’s a good choice for many people. Following all, it charges “at cost” pricing when you pre-fund your account.

Still, many people like consolidating expired domains purchased through the drops at one registrar.

NameBright’s process for getting authorization codes in bulk is a bit unintuitive. So, here’s a step-by-step guide to getting authorization codes in bulk from the registrar.

1. Make sure you’ve waited 60 days since registration. That’s the wait time ahead of a newly registered domain can be transferred to a fresh registrar. (This is likely changing to 30 days in the future.)

2. Add the domains to a category. Select each domain you want to get authorization codes for, then click “Category” at the top. Create a fresh category, such as “Transfer Out”.
