.eu domain registration requirements

According to the .eu registry requirements, the following persons are eligible to register .eu domain names: 

  • A Union citizen, independently of their place of residence

  • A natural person who is not a Union citizen and who is a resident of a Member State

  • An undertaking that is established in the Union

  • An organization that is established in the Union, without prejudice to the application of national law

Please note that the registration data will be verified, and EURid (the registry operator of .eu domains) will perform security checks on the domain name registration before or after the delegation of the domain name. The data checked includes the holder's name, address, email, and phone number to ensure the domain names have correct data and are not used for abusive purposes.

The registry sends an email to the domain owners in case some registrant data is to be verified. If there is no response to their emails (and several reminders, including sometimes personal calls) from the registrant within the specified deadline, the domain name gets suspended and can be reactivated once the domain name holder confirms the correctness of their data via the My .eu Platform

Currently, it is impossible to register the .eu domain with a non-EU address indicated in the domain contacts. Please ensure that you have a valid EU address to register a .eu domain successfully. 

If you have any questions, please contact our Support Team.
