- Login to your account on the site you purchase your domain (eg. Namecheap.com)
- On your homepage, you will see under account information, the says "Number of domains in your account", click the view link at the end of this line.

- On the right hand side under the title "Domains", you will see a list of the domains you own, click on the one you want to transfer to WA
