What are the registration requirements for registering a .CY domain?

.CY and .COM.CY:
Anyone in the world can register them. You do not need an address in Cyprus, a Cypriot company or a trademark: the registry grants the licence whether or not the owner lives in Cyprus.

.BIZ.CY:
Only companies registered with the Cyprus Registrar of Companies can register it, and the company's registration certificate must be sent with the application. If your company is not registered in Cyprus, choose .CY or .COM.CY, which are open to everyone.

.ORG.CY:
In order to register an .ORG.CY domain, the domain owner must be a non-profit organization incorporated in Cyprus.

.NET.CY:
In order to register a .NET.CY domain, the owner must be a Cypriot Internet or Telecommunications Service Provider.

How the registration works:
After you place your order you will be asked to upload the owner's ID or passport, or the company's registration certificate and registration number, and the domain stays pending until then. The registry then sends the owner two emails with a link: the first to open the owner's .CY account and the second to accept the domain. Each link expires after three days, so the owner must forward each email to us as soon as it arrives; we complete both steps.

Important:
If the registry asks for an additional document while it reviews the application (most often an authorisation letter, when the name matches a trademark registered by someone else), send it without delay: the registry gives a short deadline and rejects the application if it does not arrive in time.
