Question
Since 2 August 2021, a .eu can be registered by citizens of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway wherever they live; by non-citizens living in those countries; and by businesses and organisations established there. These conditions must be met for the whole registration term.
A .eu name has 2 to 63 characters, excluding the extension: letters, digits and hyphens. It cannot start or end with a hyphen, nor have hyphens in the 3rd and 4th positions. Names in Latin, Greek or Cyrillic characters are accepted, without mixing scripts.
Question
If the holder is an individual, EURid’s WHOIS only shows their e-mail address and preferred language: all other personal data is hidden. For a business or organisation it shows the name, city, country, e-mail and language.
Question
A .eu transfer uses a 16-character transfer authorisation code (TAC), valid for 40 days or until it is used. The holder can generate it in EURid’s “My .eu” area, then give it to the new registrar.
