Spanish domain registration

.ES domain registration requirements

Prepare accurate holder, administrative contact and identification details before ordering a Spanish .ES domain.

HolderPerson or legal entity
IdentificationMust be accurate
Admin contactMust be an individual

Use the holder's real legal details

Red.es requires .ES registration data to be accurate and truthful. Incorrect contact or identification details can delay a request and may lead to cancellation of an existing domain.

Who can hold an .ES domain?

The holder may be an individual or an organisation with interests in or connections with Spain. The name must be available, comply with the registry's syntax rules and not be prohibited or reserved for another entitled party.

Registering a domain gives the holder the right to use that name in the domain name system; it does not create trademark rights or override another party's protected rights.

Details you need to provide

Holder type
Individual or the correct legal entity type for the organisation
Holder name
The person's full legal name or organisation's registered name
Holder identification
DNI/NIF, NIE, passport, foreign identity document or company registration number as applicable
Administrative contact
A named individual with authority to represent the holder
Administrative contact ID
The appropriate personal identity type and number
Contact details
A working email address, telephone number and postal address

Choose the option that matches the document

  • DNI or NIF for a Spanish national identity or Spanish tax identification number.
  • NIE for a Spanish foreign resident identity number.
  • Generic or other ID for a passport, foreign identity document or company registration number where accepted.

Enter the identifier exactly as it appears on the selected document. Do not substitute an unrelated VAT number or the identity of a person who does not represent the holder.

Watch for a request to confirm or correct details

Most valid registrations are processed quickly, but the registry or registrar may request clarification or evidence. Monitor the account email address and reply promptly. Only send identity documents through a method specifically requested by UKC support.

Registration failed or remains pending?

Send the domain, order number, selected holder type and the exact error. Do not place a duplicate order while the first request is being reviewed.
