New eligibility criteria for .EU

As of October 19, 2019, internationally-based EU citizens can now register .EU or .ею domain names.

The .EU is the country code top level domain for the European Union. More than 3.6 million registrations spread out across Europe make this TLD a popular extension. Initially, this extension is only reserved to companies and individuals residing within EU and EEA member states. However in order to meet the needs of an ever-changing digital environment, EURid, the .EU registry, changes this eligibility criteria to extend it to all EU citizens living around the world.

“We are
excited to be able to extend the registration criteria to EU citizens around the
world. The .eu domain is now closer to your ambitions, achievements and dreams.
It is the bridge connecting you to your friends and family – even if you live
outside the EU. It will always show your roots, your outlook, and your cultural
values.” – Marc van Wesemael, EURid`s CEO.

For more information on the conditions for registration of your .EU, don’t hesitate to contact us.
