Is .be right for your idea?
Prepare for identity verification
Keep the registrant email reachable and the owner details accurate. DNS Belgium can verify registrations before activation, so respond promptly to requests.
Explain cross-border services
If the business operates from the UK, make delivery coverage or service arrangements explicit. A Belgian address does not create a Belgian establishment.

Questions about .be domains
Must I live in Belgium?
No. .be is open to registrants outside Belgium, subject to the registry rules.
Can activation require verification?
Yes. The registry may ask for verification of registrant details.
Is .be the same as .brussels?
No. They are different domain spaces; this page concerns .be.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
