This will be the same as GoDaddy. This tutorial should help:

I want to see if the seller has unlocked there domain?

 

[TCK]

Then attempt to do a domain transfer in GoDaddy. It will let you know if the domain has yet to be unlocked and ask you for the transfer code before any payment.

Is there any tool to check if a domain is locked or unlocked?

 

[TCK]

You can do a whois check and look at the status. If the status is clientTransferProhibited then it is locked.

 

[asxforum]

it says Domain Status: ok icann.org/epp#ok ?

it says Domain Status: ok icann.org/epp#ok ?

Ya, that means it's unlocked and can be transferred to another registrar.
