.LONDON registration requirements
A .LONDON domain is designed for people, organisations and projects connected with London
.london is a geographic generic top-level domain and is generally available without the Australian-style or restricted professional eligibility rules seen in some country and sector namespaces. Use accurate holder details and choose a name that does not infringe another party’s rights.
What should you check before applying?
The extension alone does not determine eligibility. Check the exact namespace, the applicant and the relationship between the name and that applicant.
- 1Choose the exact namespace
Choose .london when the London connection will be meaningful to customers.
- 2Confirm who will hold it
Register it to the real person or organisation responsible for the project.
- 3Collect the right evidence
No ordinary local-presence document is generally requested, but accurate registrant details and registry terms still apply.
- 4Keep eligibility details current
Review renewal, contacts and use of the name throughout the registration term.
What are the important .LONDON registration details?
Use this summary to prepare, then follow the fields and validation shown in the live order.
The domain holder matters
The registry record should identify the person or organisation entitled to hold the name, not a developer or unrelated third party.
Availability is not final approval
A name can appear available but still fail a policy or validation check. Registration completes only after the registry accepts it.
Renewal does not remove the rules
The holder normally needs to remain eligible and keep required information accurate throughout the registration.
Website and email are separate
Eligibility controls the domain registration. DNS, hosting, forwarding and mailbox services are configured after registration.

.LONDON registration questions
Does availability guarantee registration?
No. The registry can reject or suspend an application that does not meet its rules, even if the label initially appears available.
Can a developer register it for me?
A helper can place the order, but the registry record should use the eligible holder’s accurate details and identifiers.
Can I hide all registrant information?
Privacy treatment depends on the registry and applicable law. Do not assume a proxy service is permitted for every extension.
What if I am unsure whether I qualify?
Check the registry rule linked above before ordering, or ask UKC Support with the proposed holder type and extension. Do not send identity documents in an ordinary ticket unless requested through a secure route.
