This is called a registrar transfer and all ICANN accredited registrars
must support it. The 'gaining' registrar must submit the transfer
request, then the 'losing' registrar either denies or approves the
request.

And some information about fields is totally missing (minimum
length, maximum length, valid characters, etc.)... I have asked for
documentation on all of the fields and their allowed values several times
since December 1999--however I guess OpenSRS doesn't think that
information is important as they have refused to provide it.
We learned what was acceptable characters in an OpenSRS password the hard
way. The supplied validation in the scripts (note this may have changed
on the latest version of the scripts) didn't actually validate to what was
acceptable, it was only when the attempt to submit the order OpenSRS did
we find the problems.
I actually found the acceptable values for the password field at
domaindirect.com, from their signup form:
"Login has to contain 6 to 20 characters.
Alphabetical characters and numbers only!
Do not use dots, commas, dashes, forward slashes or spaces."
