Important Points To Note:
When you submit a registration request for a .ie domain name, you may be required to produce supporting information to validate your application. Usually, if your Company Number, Business Number or Community Trademark can be verified online no further documentation will be required.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate a real and substantive connection to Ireland. Examples of acceptable documentation demonstrating trade activity within Ireland are as follows:
- Copies of invoices (showing trade to or from Ireland),
- High-quality brochures showing a significant intention to trade in Ireland.
- A signed letter on headed paper from a bank manager, firm of chartered accountant(s), registered auditor(s), tax consultant(s) (where the tax advisor identification number is displayed), or solicitor(s) confirming the applicants trade with Ireland.
As per our Terms Of Service, if your application is rejected for one of the following reasons:
- Failure to produce the correct documents
- Incorrect/incomplete details supplied
- Failure to comply with the IEDR's guidelines
your registration fee will be refunded minus a €10 admin fee. If the application is corrected and resubmitted the application fee is not charged.
