Requirements
Who can register a .com.es?
- The administrative, technical and billing contacts must be natural persons.
- Names that match the official name of a Spanish territorial authority are on a list of reserved terms kept by Red.es.
- A reserved name may only be registered by the public authority, constitutional body, state institution or international organisation that is entitled to the name according to that list.
- Reserved names are only available to legal entities and organisations, not to private individuals.
Additional details for registration
- You provide an identification number for the registrant and for each contact. Spanish contacts use their DNI or NIF number.
- If you're a foreign national living in Spain, you provide your NIE number: one letter, seven digits and a final letter, without hyphens.
- Contacts outside Spain provide a different identification number, such as their passport number.
- Spanish citizens may also use their passport number. Any later change of registrant must then be signed with a copy of that same passport.
- You state the legal form of the registrant, for example private individual, association, foundation, cooperative, government body or private limited company. For the other contacts, it's always: private individual.
Documents
- For a reserved name, you include proof that you're the authority or institution entitled to the name according to the Red.es list.
- If you register a reserved name with a NIF number, you also include a copy of the registrant's tax identification document.
- For a change of registrant, you upload a copy of the administrative contact's ID card or passport. This must be a JPG file of no more than 2 MB and no more than 600 pixels.
Good to know when registering
- After you apply for a reserved name, the registration is put on hold until your documents arrive. If you don't send them within 10 days, the registration is cancelled.
- The registry usually reviews submitted documents within 24 to 48 hours.
- Since 2010, the registrar can no longer change the registrant's details. The registrant does this themselves by logging in to the registry with their contact code from the WHOIS.
- The email address of the registrant and of the administrative contact can only be changed at the registry by that contact themselves.

Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- WebOké creates the new registrant and the new administrative contact and gives you their contact codes. You need these to start the change at the registry.
- You log in to the registry's website with the current administrative contact's details. You'll find their contact code in the WHOIS.
- If you don't know the password, you can request it from the registry. It's sent to the current administrative contact's email address.
- After logging in, choose Solicitud Transmisión de dominio and enter the domain name and the contact codes of the new registrant and the new administrative contact.
- Complete the request by uploading a copy of the current administrative contact's ID card or passport: a JPG of no more than 2 MB and no more than 600 pixels.
- The new administrative contact receives an email from the registry. They must be logged in to the registry's website to confirm or cancel the request via the link.
- Once they've confirmed, the new administrative contact checks the request and signs it by uploading a copy of their ID card or passport.
- A form then appears with the terms and conditions for the new registrant. Choose the registrar specified by WebOké and don't change anything else.
- Once both administrative contacts have agreed, the registrar completes the change of registrant.
- Red.es checks the administrative contact's identification number. You may need to update that contact first.
- You can only change the registrant's name or organisation name through a change of registrant.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- After a cancellation, the administrative contact receives an email from the registry with links to approve or cancel the deletion.
- The administrative contact has 10 days to approve or cancel the deletion.
- A request to restore a domain name is handled manually. You'll be notified by email.
