Requirements
Who can register a .alsace?
- Anyone, whether an individual or an organisation, can register, renew and use a .alsace domain name, as long as you have a connection with the Alsace region.
- This connection must exist at the time of registration and must continue to exist afterwards.
- Your connection with Alsace can be shown by a place of residence in Alsace, by personal, business or cultural activities there, or by a direct or indirect economic, social, cultural, historical or other link with the region.
- The registry decides for itself whether your evidence is sufficient and doesn't have to make a decision public or explain it.
Documents
- You don't need to provide any evidence when you register, but the registry may later ask you to show that you have a connection with Alsace. So keep any documents that can prove this.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name. During this period, you can't transfer to another registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .alsace
- To transfer a domain, you need the transfer code, which you request from your current registrar.
- Check the WHOIS beforehand to make sure there's no transfer lock on the domain name. If there's a lock set by the registrar, ask your current registrar to remove it.
- Once the transfer has been submitted, the registry lets your current registrar know that the domain name is leaving.
- Your current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact too, an email about the transfer, often with the option to approve or reject it.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it will be completed automatically after 5 days.
- You can't transfer the domain name during the first 60 days after registration.
The transfer code
- A transfer code is required. The registrant or administrative contact can request it from the current registrar.
- The code must be 8 to 32 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one digit and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - . / : or ~.
