[edit] Domain Limitations and Requirements

Registration Policy - As of 2 August 2021

Only the following categories of companies, organisations and individuals will be able to register a .eu domain:

undertakings having their registered office, central administration or principal place of business within the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway;
organisations established within the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway without prejudice to the application of national law;
natural persons resident European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway;
citizens of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway, independently of their place of residence.

For customers of any other country, we offer a Trustee Service.

[edit] Origin of the registrant

If the registrant of the domain name is an organization it must be based in the European Union.

In case the registrant is a private person, it is possible to register a .EU domain even though the registrant is not based in the EU. The registrant however must have an European Citizenship in these cases. This must then be indicated with the X-EU-REGISTRANT-CITIZENSHIP parameter.

[edit] Registry Data Verification

Confirming your registration data is easy and free of charge:

Log in to the registry secure platform (https://my.eurid.eu/en/auth/login/)
Select one of the available methods
If your registration data needs to be modified, kindly do so via the control panel before confirming

Your .eu domain name remains registered but is temporarily inactive because its delegation is delayed. Services linked to the domain name will not be functional. Once your registration data has been successfully verified, your domain name will be activated.

[edit] Trustee Service

.EU requires a local presence in the European Union in order to register a domain. In most cases a local presence is required for either the owner or the admin-c (Admin-Contact) of that domain. In order to overcome this barrier and make specific TLDs unrestricted HEXONET offers so called Trustee Services for several TLDs which require a local presence, also for EU. Depending on the TLD, the Trustee Service is then either added to the existing contacts, or replaces one or more of the WHOIS contacts. Once replaced the Trustee acts on behalf of the registrant and thereby makes a registration of that specific TLD possible.

In order to enable our trustee service for new .EU domain registrations please use the following parameter with the AddDomain command:

X-EU-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1

The following data will be assigned to the domain when the trustee solution is chosen:

Organisation: ITtrust Domain Services LTD
Street: Regus House, Harcourt Centre, Harcourt Road
City: Dublin
Zip: D02 HW77
Country: IE
Phone: +353.838820187
eMail: [email protected]

[edit] Authorisation Code

The authorisation code includes a total of 16 letters and digits separated by dashes, in the following format:

XXXX-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC

It will be valid for 40 days by requesting a new authorization code. You can generate a new authcode by removing the domain transfer lock.

[edit] Emergency Authorisation Code

If you cannot obtain an authorisation code from your current registrar or via the My .eu account, you can request an emergency authorisation code from the registry:

Look up your domain name in the web-based WHOIS. https://eurid.eu
Click on the "Request emergency authorisation code" link in the WHOIS query result for your domain name.
Fill out the electronic request form according to instructions and supply the reasons why you were not able to receive the authorisation code from your registrar or My .eu account.
Print the form, sign it and send it to the registry via email at [email protected]. If the requester is an organisation please print the form on company letterhead paper or add a company stamp.

[edit] Change language of a contact Handle

The language of a contact handle can be changed with the following API command

command = ModifyContact
contact = (CONTACT)
x-eu-lang = (LANGUAGE)

The respective parameter is called X-EU-LANG and the following values are allowed:

cs|da|de|el|en|es|et|fi|fr|hu|it|lt|lv|mt|nl|pl|pt|sk|sl|sv

[edit] Addons

The following overview shows you all available Domain Addons which can be used for this special kind of TLD. It also shows the respective API parameters which are required to activate the Domain Addons:

Addon Class	Parameter to (de)activate *1)	Renewal term *2)	Affected Parameters *3)
Trustee	X-EU-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 \| 1	1 month	OWNERCONTACT
Trustee	X-EU-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 \| 1	1 month	OWNERCONTACT

*1) Parameter to (de)activate: When accessing our backend through the API, you can either activate the addon with X-EU-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC=1 or deactivate it with
X-EU-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC=0

*2) Renewal Term: Is the minimum renewal term of the "Addon Class"

*3) If you are using a "Trustee" Domain Addon normally the original owner contact or the original admin contact or both are replaced by a contact provided by the trustee provider.

[edit] RegistrarOC

Restore Process

To restore a domain as a RegistrarOC customer, you simply have to execute the RestoreDomain command. HEXONET directly forwards the restore request to the registry, which performs the restore in real-time. As soon as the restore is complete, the domain will get assigned to your account with the original domain data.

Please do not initiate a restore directly at the registry (e.g. using the registrar webinterface). All restore operations must be performed through our system.
