Here's the concise, valuable rewrite focused on search intent:

Transfer your domain from Squarespace by following these simple steps:

1. Visit the Domains dashboard
2. Click your domain name
3. Disable Domain Lock (if visible)
4. Click Request Transfer Code and confirm
5. Check your email for the authentication code
6. Send the code to your new domain provider

Important considerations before transferring:

• Process takes up to 15 business days
• Free domains can't transfer their free status
• Domain transfer doesn't move website hosting
• Remove DNSSEC records before transferring
• Country code domains (.uk, .de) have special requirements

Key points to remember:

• Authentication code arrives within 24 hours
• Email comes from [email protected]
• You have 5 days to cancel the transfer if needed
• Domain changes will only work through new provider after transfer
• Google Workspace needs MX record updates after transfer

Troubleshooting common issues:

• Check spam folder for authentication code
• Verify domain contact email is correct
• Use most recent transfer code if multiple exist
• Some providers require public WHOIS information
• 60-day transfer lock applies to new domains
• Expired domains may transfer but require reactivation

After transfer completion:

1. Domain appears as third-party in dashboard
2. Update DNS settings through new provider
3. Maintain email service by updating MX records
4. Cancel Squarespace subscription if needed

Contact your new domain provider if transfer hasn't completed after seven business days.

Remember to update DNS records and MX settings immediately after transfer to avoid service interruption.
