Choose with confidence
Is .legal right for your idea?
Distinguish information from a service
A general guide and advice for a particular matter are different. Explain what the page provides and how someone can ask about engaging the appropriate professional.
Make credentials easy to assess
Describe qualifications and professional status accurately. A .legal address does not verify a practitioner, grant rights to carry out regulated work or establish an official connection.
Know what you’ll pay

Questions about .legal domains
Does registering .legal verify professional credentials?
No. The domain ending is not an accreditation. Your website should accurately identify the provider and relevant professional status; visitors must assess the service separately.
Which .legal registration periods can I choose?
Standard .legal registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Displayed term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I connect a .legal domain to an existing website?
Yes, if the website service supports a custom domain. Follow that service’s DNS instructions. Domain registration and any paid website service are separate.
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.
