Requirements
Who can register a .at?
- A PO box is not allowed as the registrant's address.
- By registering a .at domain name, you enter into an agreement under Austrian law with nic.at, the Austrian registry. You can find additional legal information on the registry's website.
- Your contact details must be accurate and complete. nic.at may have details that could be inaccurate verified, and if that verification isn't completed in time, nic.at can suspend or delete your domain name.
Additional details for registration
- A valid phone number is required for all contacts. A fax number is no longer used.
- Your phone number and email address can no longer be hidden. For organisations, they are publicly visible in the WHOIS, so use a general email address there rather than a personal one.
Documents
- If your details are selected for verification in a spot check by nic.at, you may be asked to provide proof, such as a copy of your passport and a completed registration form. These documents are kept for one year.
Good to know when registering
- nic.at checks contact details on a risk basis. Not every registration is checked, only details that may be inaccurate or incomplete.
- If your details can't be verified in time, nic.at can suspend your domain name, block new registrations using those details or delete the domain name.
- You are entitled to full information about the product, the price, the terms and the suppliers, and about your right of withdrawal.
Transfer
Transferring a .at
- Request the transfer code from your current registrar and give it to your new registrar. They use it to submit the transfer request, and the transfer is processed immediately.
- If the transfer code doesn't work or your current registrar won't provide it, your new registrar can request a token from nic.at. This token is sent to the registrant's email address.
- Forward the token to your new registrar. It's valid for 21 days and can only be used by the registrar that requested it, and the transfer is then processed within about 5 minutes.
- If the registrant's email address no longer works, there's an emergency procedure. In that case, get in touch with WebOké.
The transfer code
- To transfer a domain, you need a transfer code, which you request from your current registrar.
- The code must be at least eight characters long and contain at least one number, one letter and one special character.
- Without a transfer code, you can transfer your domain using a token that nic.at sends to the registrant's email address. That token is valid for 21 days.

Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- With a change of registrant, both the current and the new registrant receive an email and both must approve the change. No form is needed.
- If it isn't approved within 10 days, the request lapses.
- If you submit a new request while one is still pending, the earlier request is cancelled.
- The registration period of your domain name doesn't change as a result of the change of registrant.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If you let the domain name expire via WebOké, it isn't deleted; instead, billing passes to you as the registrant. You'll then receive an invoice directly from nic.at and pay the renewal to the registry.
- If you cancel the domain name, it is deleted at nic.at. It can still be restored within 59 days of deletion.
- Restoring isn't possible if the domain name has expired and billing has passed to you, or if it has been returned to the registry.
