Validation possibleAFNIC may request evidence.
Who can register
Eligible individuals must reside in an EU member state, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. Organisations must have their registered office or principal place of business in one of those territories.
UK applicants
Since Brexit, ordinary UK residents and UK-only organisations do not satisfy the current territorial rule. A genuine qualifying presence elsewhere may be used only when it belongs to the actual holder.
Holder checks
AFNIC may ask the registrar for identity, company or address evidence. Keep the holder name, address, phone and email current. Failure to substantiate eligibility or correct inaccurate data can lead to suspension, blocking and deletion.
