Ask HN: How to transfer a peruvian domain name away from punto.pe?

Hopefully someone here will have done this before and can lend a hand?

I have owned a .pe domain name for close to 10 years which I bought from punto.pe originally... and the low quality of their website is starting to worry me... (It hasn't been updated since I purchased the domain 10 years ago, and it was a poor quality website already).

I have translated numerous sections of the control panel and I cannot seem to find anything regarding transferring away from punto.pe

It seems as though I can only transfer the domain to another punto.pe customer, but that doesn't seem right, does it?

According to domcomp.com you may be able to transfer it to several others: https://www.domcomp.com/tld/pe

If namecheap supports .pe - this is probably safe bet.

Namecheap does indeed support .pe, I just can't figure out how to get the authorization code sent from punto.pe to allow me to transfer it.

Thanks for both of your comments, though!
