Check the actual owner before searching
Choose the person or organisation that will genuinely hold the registration. Eligibility must apply to that registrant; a European customer base or a hosting server in Europe is not a substitute.

Choose with confidence
Is .eu right for your idea?
Match the website to a cross-border audience
A European address is most useful alongside clear language choices, service coverage and contact details. Explain which countries you serve rather than expecting the ending to answer that question.
Plan for changes in your details
Keep the registrant information current. If your residence, citizenship basis or business structure changes, review whether the registration still meets EURid requirements before a renewal becomes urgent.

Questions about .eu domains
Can a UK resident register .eu?
An eligible EU, Icelandic, Liechtenstein or Norwegian citizen can qualify while living in the UK. UK residence by itself is not enough.
Does .eu mean the website is an EU institution?
No. An eligible private registrant can use the ending. It does not confer official status.
What if I do not qualify?
Consider a generic ending such as .com or a suitable UK domain. Choose an address you can register with your own accurate details.
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.
