Requirements
Who can register a .berlin?
- At least one of the contacts for the domain (registrant, administrative or technical contact) must have an address in Berlin.
- If nobody has an address in Berlin, you can arrange a local address through a trustee service. The trustee then becomes the technical contact.
- Every registrant of a .berlin domain name must comply with the .berlin registration terms.
- If you change your contact details so that no contact has an address in Berlin any more, you may lose your rights to the domain name.
Good to know when registering
- After registration, a 60-day transfer lock applies. During that period you can't transfer the domain to another registrar.
- Reserved names are sold by the registry itself. You can only register such a name with a code you buy from the registry.
Transfer
Transferring a .berlin
- Request the transfer code from your current registrar and start the transfer with your new registrar.
- Check beforehand that there is no transfer lock on the domain. You can see this in the WHOIS.
- If there is a lock set by your registrar, you as the registrant can ask for it to be removed.
- The registry notifies your current registrar of the transfer. They send an email to the registrant and sometimes to the administrative contact as well, often with the option to approve or reject the transfer.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it is completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code for a transfer. The registrant or the administrative contact can request it from the current registrar.
- The code must be 8 to 32 characters long and contain at least one letter, one number and one special character.
