Requirements
Who can register a .barcelona?
- You can register and renew a .barcelona domain name as an individual or as an organisation, but only if you have a connection with the .barcelona community.
- That connection must exist at the time of registration and afterwards too. It can be a linguistic, cultural, tourist or commercial connection, or another activity that benefits the .barcelona community.
- You're required to state what you'll use the domain name for. If you knowingly give an incorrect intended use, the domain name may be suspended.
- You may not register geographical names of parts of Barcelona and the surrounding area. This also applies to local landmarks, other well-known local names and obvious variants or abbreviations of them.
- Names of government bodies with authority in Barcelona and the surrounding area aren't allowed. The same goes for names of public services or matters of general interest that those authorities are responsible for.
- Additional rules can be found in the policy on the registry's website.
Additional details for registration
- You give a short description of the intended use of the domain name, of no more than 256 characters.
- If the domain name isn't the name of your company or organisation, you state in that description on what grounds you're entitled to the name.
- If the domain name matches a trademark, you provide the trademark number.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name.
Transfer
Transferring a .barcelona
- A transfer to another registrar is only possible once the 60-day transfer lock after registration has ended.
- Check that there's no transfer lock on the domain name. You can see this in the WHOIS.
- If your current registrar has set a transfer lock, you can ask them as the registrant to remove it.
- You request the transfer code from your current registrar. The new registrar then submits the transfer to the registry, which automatically notifies the current registrar.
- The current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact too, an email about the transfer. In it, you can often approve or reject the transfer.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it's completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- To transfer a domain, you need a transfer code. As the registrant or administrative contact, you request it from your current registrar.
- The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
- The code contains at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - . / or :.
