TLD UPDATES
Registrant Verification for .SE, .NU, .QA, .FR
Owner
contact verification processes will be introduced by the responsible
registries for the following TLDs. These procedures will involve
confirmation emails that must be validated by the domain owner. These
changes will take effect on March 1, 2024 across all mentioned TLDs:
.SE & .NU: Documents to
prove the identity of the owner contact will no longer be required at
registration. Instead, all new domain owners will go through an e-mail
contact verification process.
.QA: A contact verification
process to verify the registrant's email address will be implemented on
March 1. Subsequently, a phone number verification process may be
introduced, with further details to be provided.
.FR, .RE, .TM, .TF, .WF, .YT, .PM: New registrants should expect verification emails for domains within these TLDs as of March 1
If you require further information, please contact our Support team.
Update to .FI Transfer-in Process
Please
note, that upon transferring a .FI (Finland) domain name into our
system, it is essential to reconfirm the registration requirements. This
update will become effective starting March 1, 2024.
Please utilize
the X-FI-ACCEPT-REGISTRATION-TAC parameter, or simple toggle the
'Accept Registration' option in the Control Panel.
If you require further information, please contact our Support team.
Domain Checks by the .UK Registry
NOMINET,
the .UK Registry, is conducting a review to ensure compliance with
their terms of owner contact details and provided documents.
As a result of
this review, you may receive notifications through events for any
suspended domains. If you do receive these notifications, please
carefully check the contact information for each domain, make any
necessary corrections, and resubmit identity documents. Domains will be
reactivated within 24 hours of document submission.
If you require further information, please contact our Support team.
