Usually, in order to transfer a domain:

First, in order to transfer many registrars require that you change the domain's "information" (owner, technical contact, etc) to the new owner before the new owner can transfer it into their account. Sometimes this is not necessary, however.

To make the transfer, the new owner goes to a registrar of his choosing and requests to have it (your domain) transfered to his account.

Before YOUR registrar allows it, however, YOU, the present owner of the domain, will then receive an email asking if this is correct, and a URL usually in the email to approve the transfer.

The new owner is usually expected to buy at least 1 more year's registration to make the transfer, I don't know of any execeptions to this when making a transfer.
