Full Information On .EU Domains

Registration

Successful domain registration via our control panel requires:

  • the domain's contact handles (registrant, admin, etc.)
    • registrant should be located in a EU or EEA country or be a citizen of one of the EU member states.
    • if a private individual registrant does not reside in a EU or EEA country but is a citizen of such country, enter the "country of citizenship" in the customer details in RCP.
  • two or more nameservers or a nameserver group

 

If error "The contact type registrant must meet the general eligibility criteria" is shown, the registrant does not meet the requirements. (see above).

It is not required to submit a VAT number in the handles, but when the VAT number is added, the EU registry will check if it is valid. Non valid VAT numbers will give an error.

Note that it is not allowed to mix alphabets: the domain name must be in the same alphabet (script) as the extension. That means that

  • for .eu domains, the domain name itself must be in Latin characters;
  • for .ею domains, the domain name itself must be in Cyrillic characters; and
  • for .ευ domains, the domain name itself must be in Greek characters.

 

NOTE : 
The registrant of the domain name will get an email directly from EURid Registry under the title 
"[rt.eurid.eu #XXXXX] Confirm your registration details for domainname.eu"

As a part of .eu registration process, the registry collects the  personal information of the registrant in accordance with their Privacy Policy.

The registrant is responsible for following up to this email and this is NOT DONE via Registrar / Reseller.
Please note that if the registrant did not reply to this email within 14 days, the registry reserves the right to SUSPEND or DELETE the domain without refunds.

 

Domain names with status "withdrawn" are no longer registered and are currently unavailable for registration pending the outcome of legal activity. For further information please contact legal@eurid.eu.

 

Brexit changes
On the 1st of February 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union. This will cause registrants from the United Kingdom to be no longer eligible for .eu, .ею and .ευ domain names after the transition period. The transition period is scheduled to end on the 31st of December 2020.

The registry regularly updates the Brexit-related information on their website.

Transfer

You can start an .eu domain transfer through our control panel. This transfer is processed real time and requires the following information:

  • an authorisation code that you need to request at your current provider
    • a valid authorisation code has 4 blocks of 4 characters, for example REGE-1HAZ-W3XP-3EA1
  • the domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
    • registrant should be located in a EU or EEA country or be a citizen of one of the EU member states.
  • two or more nameservers or a nameserver group

 

The transfer code is valid for 40 days after creation. The registration period after a successful transfer is extended by 1 year.

It is not required to submit a VAT number in the handles, but when the VAT number is added, the EU registry will check if it is valid. Non valid VAT numbers will give an error.



Additional notes on a .eu transfer

  • A transfer code for a .eu domain is valid for the period of 40 days.
  • If the domain holder changes during the authorisation code validity period of 40 days, the code will be reset. A new cost must be retrieved if you still want to transfer the domain out.
  • If the current registrar is not able to or does not cooperate in providing the authorization code, the registrant can request the authorization code via My .EU.
  • If My .EU is no option, the registry offers an escalation path through the registry. This should be used as a last resort only.
  • Transfer from quarantine is possible, but we still need the authorization code. Be aware that additional costs are involved. Please contact the support department and send the domain name, handles and nameservers along with the authorization code.
