For most domains, you cannot register the domain elsewhere once it has expired. This is because there is a period of time after the domain has expired to allow the current domain owner to renew the domain. You will need to wait for the central registry to "drop" the domain before you can register it elsewhere. More information about the lifecyle of a domain can be found in this article:

If you wish to transfer the domain to another registrar, we recommend you renew the domain first, wait 45 days after the renewal, and then transfer the domain to another domain registrar.
