Requirements
Who can register a .hamburg?
- Anyone can register a .hamburg domain name, so individuals, companies, organisations and associations, as long as you can demonstrate an economic, cultural, historical, social or other connection with the Hamburg Metropolitan Region.
- That connection can be shown, for example, by your home address or second home, or your office, establishment or branch in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region.
- It's also sufficient to have a registrant or administrative contact who lives in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, or other suitable proof of your connection with the region.
- If you don't have an address in the region yourself, a local address via a trustee service is possible.
- A domain name may also be registered through an intermediary or privacy service on behalf of the actual owner.
- The registry points out that every registrant of a .hamburg domain name must comply with the registration terms on the registry's website.
Documents
- If your connection with the Hamburg Metropolitan Region isn't shown by an address, you may need other proof, such as a statement from an employer, enrolment at a school or university, or a birth certificate.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name.
- The registry sells reserved domain names itself. You can only register such a name with a code you've received directly from the registry.
Transfer
Transferring a .hamburg
- You can't transfer a newly registered domain name during the first 60 days.
- Before the transfer, check that there's no transfer lock on the domain name. You can see this in the WHOIS.
- If your current registrar has placed a lock on it, ask that registrar to lift the lock.
- Your new registrar submits the transfer to the registry. The registry then automatically notifies your current registrar that the transfer has been requested.
- Your current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact too, an email about the transfer. In it, you may be able to approve or reject the transfer.
- If you neither explicitly approve nor reject the transfer, it's automatically completed after 5 days.
The transfer code
- To transfer a domain, you need a transfer code. The registrant or the administrative contact requests it from the current registrar.
- The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one digit and one special character.
