The process at most registrars is completely automated. You unlock your domain and request a transfer code; go to the destination registrar and initiate a transfer, enter the transfer code, and wait. You’ll get an email from the source registrar saying a transfer was initiated and you need to approve it; if you don’t approve it within some time-frame, it is cancelled, and if you do, it usually finalizes within minutes. 

Some registrars, however, like to introduce delays and force you to wait for the maximium amount of time they can (a week or so) before finalizing things, just because they’re such nice folks and put “customer service” as their top priority.
