Applicants & Paperwork for purchasing a dot IE domain

Applicant Types & Associated Paperwork required

Unlike many other domains Irish domains (the dot IE domains) require you to show that you have a right of ownership over the dot IE domain you wish to purchase. If you are purchasing a dot IE domain for a limited company you will, generally, have this right automatically - in fact if you supply your registered Irish company number, and if the domain name you are applying for is very similar to, or the same as, your company name, then you will not have to supply any paperwork what so ever.

Not everyone purchasing a dot IE domain name is a limited company though so, listed below are the other main types of recognised applicant types - if you have any queries about these applicant types and/or the paperwork required, or how to acquire this paperwork please contact us and we will assist you as much as possible.
