Requirements
Who can register a .yt?
- You can register and renew a .yt domain name if you, as an individual, live in a member state of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. For an organisation, the same applies to its head office or main place of business.
- The French overseas territories are also included, such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Futuna and the French Southern Territories. The Åland Islands count too.
- Both the registrant and the administrative contact must have an address within this area.
- If you don't have an address in this area, you can get a local address through a trustee service. This always applies to both the registrant and the administrative contact, never to just one of them.
- The registrant and the administrative contact must be reachable at a valid phone number and email address. Their identity details must be accurate, and you must keep them up to date for as long as the domain is active.
- Domain names of 1 or 2 characters can't be registered under .yt.
- Prohibited terms include offensive, racist and obscene terms, and terms that refer to crimes or criminal offences.
- Some terms are reserved and can only be registered under certain conditions, depending on who you are or what rights you hold. Examples include technical internet terms, names of regulated professions, names of French municipalities and government bodies, country names and names of international organisations.
- Afnic publishes a list of domain names that are reserved for special use or for specific people or organisations.
- If a check shows that a domain name doesn't comply with Afnic's rules, Afnic can delete it on its own initiative.
Additional details for registration
- As an individual, you provide your date of birth and country of birth.
- Were you born in France or a French overseas territory? Then you also provide your place of birth and its postcode, or at least the department code.
- As an individual, you can choose whether your personal details are visible in the public whois.
- A company can identify itself with a SIREN or SIRET number. The company name must then match the name in that database exactly.
- A company can also identify itself with a VAT number, a DUNS number, a trademark number or a registration number from a trade register in the European Economic Area, such as the Dutch Chamber of Commerce number.
- A French association can provide its Waldec number. That's enough to identify the association.
- An association can also provide its date of establishment, along with the publication date, the notice number and the page number in the French Journal Officiel.
Good to know when registering
- If you use the trustee service for a local address, you can't use certificates for that domain name.
- Registration through the trustee service is subject to a separate trustee agreement.
Transfer
Transferring a .yt
- You request the transfer code from your current registrar and give it to your new registrar, who then requests the transfer.
- The current registrar is notified and has 8 days to respond. If they approve, the transfer goes through immediately. If they don't respond, it goes through automatically after 8 days.
- If the current registrar refuses within 8 days, the transfer takes 22 days in total. They can still approve it during that period.
- The administrative contact must still be based in the European Union after the transfer.
- There's a fee for a transfer. The expiry date changes, because the domain's term starts again.
- You can't transfer a domain and change the registrant at the same time. Do this in two separate steps.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain. As the registrant, you give it to the new registrar, and this confirms the transfer.
- After a successful change of registrant, the domain gets a new transfer code. This is passed on to the new registrant.

Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- For a change of registrant, the old and the new registrant both have to agree. WebOké asks for this consent and records it, for example through a confirmation by email.
- A change of registrant is free of charge and doesn't change the domain's expiry date.
- Afterwards, both the old and the new registrant are informed. The new registrant receives the new transfer code.
- The new registrant must meet the requirements for .yt themselves, such as having their residence or place of business within the European Union or one of the other permitted countries.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- To renew, you also have to meet the residence or place of business requirements.
- If Afnic deletes a domain name because a check shows it doesn't comply with the rules, this happens immediately and without a redemption period. You can't get the domain back after that.
