Accurate holderReal contact details required.

Eligibility

Individuals and organisations can register

There is no general UK-residency requirement for .co.uk. The chosen name must be available and lawful, and registration does not create trademark or other rights in the wording.

Registrant details

Use the real holder name and reachable contact data

Supply the legal person or organisation entitled to the domain. Inaccurate or unverified data can cause validation requests or suspension. Keep the Client Area contact details current after registration.

Ongoing control

Renewal and policy continue after checkout

Renew before expiry and respond to verification messages. Nominet policy can change, so unusual applications or holder changes may need additional evidence through UKC support.
