Can I Register An IE Domain Name?
In the past, it was more difficult to register a .ie domain name – You had to prove your connection to Ireland and also to the domain, which involved faxing a letter explaining how the specific domain relates to you or your business. Thankfully, due to the modernisation and liberalisation of the registration process and the .IE Registry policies, it is now very straight forward to register a .ie domain name. You simply need to show your connection to Ireland.
What Documentation Is Required For An IE Name?
To secure an exclusive Irish domain name, you will need to show your connection to Ireland.
This can be achieved through documentation such as; a registered business number, VAT number, or copy of your driver’s licence or passport.
Copies of invoices (showing Irish trade) or a signed headed letter from a certified professional, such as a solicitor or bank manager, to confirm your trade with Ireland is also acceptable.
Online Advantages To A .ie Domain
As well as helping your business stand out, having a .ie domain name shows that you have an instant connection with Ireland.
