N.B. When registering a .ie domain there is supporting information required. Every application we make to the IEDR is checked to make sure that the applicant has a proven connection with Ireland and a legitimate claim to the domain being registered.
1. You must show you have a proven connection with Ireland
Connections can be proven with:
- Irish Citizens (Irish passport / Irish birth certificate)
- Irish Residents (utility bill / bank statement)
- Companies registered in Ireland (CRO / RBN or VAT number)
- Companies not registered in Ireland (show that you are trading with clients in Ireland – such as invoices, press releases or previously published marketing material aimed at the Irish market, or a letter from a solicitor, accountant or bank manager, confirming your current or future trade with Ireland)
- Companies, partnerships and individuals (Irish or EU Community registered trademark)
2. You must show you have a claim to the domain
- You have to demonstrate a valid claim to the domain name. If the name matches your business, company, or trade marked name you will need to provide the relevant number with your application
- If you want the domain for a reason other than a legal entity such as a business or company name, then you will need to provide a few short sentences explaining why you want the domain and what you will use it for
