Requirements
Who can register a .al?
- Only residents of Albania and organisations established in Albania may register a .al domain name.
- Commercial organisations from Albania are eligible. A foreign organisation can also register one if it has a permanent legal representative in Albania.
- If you don't have a local contact in Albania yourself, a local address through a trustee service is possible.
Documents
- If you want to change the domain name or contact details after the 15-day correction period, this counts as a new registration. You'll then need to include an application form for a new registration.
Good to know when registering
- After registration, you have 15 days to have a typo in the domain name or errors in the contact details corrected.
- After those 15 days, a change to the domain name or contact details is treated as a new registration. So check your details carefully when you apply.
