Requirements
Who can register a .org.pt?
- You can register a .org.pt domain name if you're a non-profit organisation or a private individual.
- The domain name must match your name, an abbreviation or acronym of it, or the name of projects or activities you carry out or plan to carry out.
- A domain name must not be contrary to the law, public order or public decency.
- A domain name must not be the same as an existing or planned extension, or an internet protocol, application or term.
- A domain name must not cause confusion about who the registrant is, for example by matching someone else's well-known brand.
- A domain name must not match a geographical name.
- Since 30 June 2026, the Portuguese registry DNS.PT has required your contact details to be verified, both your email address and your phone number.
- If your details can't be verified, a new registration, change of registrant or change of contact details won't go through.
Additional details for registration
- Your tax number: the Portuguese VAT or tax number of the person or organisation registering, without the country code.
- An email address and phone number that can both be verified.
Documents
- During the first five days after your application, DNS.PT may ask you to back up your details with documents. You'll then get an email with instructions on uploading them through the registry's portal.
- If your details appear to be incorrect, incomplete or false, DNS.PT may ask for proof. You usually have to provide this within 8 days.
- To change the name or contact person while keeping the same tax number, you send in a form with supporting documents, as a PDF of up to 10 MB.
Good to know when registering
- After your application, there's a five-day review period during which the registry may ask for additional information.
- If you don't provide the requested documents in time, the registry will cancel the registration.
Transfer
Transferring a .org.pt
- To transfer a domain to another registrar, you need an authorisation code, which you as the registrant request from the registry.
- Give the code to your new registrar so they can start the transfer.
The transfer code
- You request the authorisation code yourself through the registry's portal at registo.dns.pt, where you log in with your registrant details.
- If you don't know your login details, you can use the forgotten password function.
- In the portal, go to the domain details, choose the linked contacts and then the action to transfer domain management.
- The code is sent to the registrant's email address.

Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- If the registrant's tax number changes, a full change of registrant is required.
- The current registrant gets an email from the registry and must approve the change within 8 days using the link in it.
- The new registrant is then notified and also has 8 days to accept the change.
- Both the old and the new registrant need an account on the registry's portal. You'll get the login details from the registry.
- The current registrant can cancel a change of registrant that's already been started through the portal at registo.pt.pt.
- If the tax number stays the same but, for example, the organisation name or contact person changes, a form with supporting documents is enough. This doesn't change the domain's term.
- For a change of registrant, too, the contact details must be verified.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If your domain has expired, you can restore it.
- If you actively cancelled your domain yourself, it can no longer be restored.
- If you can't provide supporting documents requested at a later stage, DNS.PT may delete the domain name.
