Question
Registro .it’s regulation (version 8.0 of 30 May 2022) restricts registration to people with citizenship, residence or a registered office in a European Economic Area country, Vatican City, San Marino, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. The holder must be an adult.
A .it name has 3 to 63 characters: the letters a to z, digits and hyphens, plus the permitted accented characters. It cannot start or end with a hyphen, nor start with “xn--”. Extended Latin, Greek and Cyrillic characters are accepted, without mixing scripts in one name.
Question
The .it WHOIS always shows which holder a domain belongs to, but publishing personal data is optional for individuals, sole traders and freelancers: without their consent, those fields are shown as hidden.
Question
Every operation on a .it requires its AuthInfo code, assigned at registration; if it is lost, the registrar or the registry can provide it. According to Registro .it’s technical guidelines, a successful change of registrar updates the domain’s expiry date.
