As an accredited registrar you need to comply with the rules of the EURid Accredited Registrar Agreement and fulfil the accreditation criteria, so please read the sample Accredited Registrar Agreement before submitting your request.
If you fulfil the accreditation criteria and are interested in becoming accredited, please send us an email, including your company name, company registration number/VAT identification number and address to agreement@eurid.eu.
After a preliminary evaluation, EURid will send you a link to the application form. Fill out the online form and accept the Terms of the Accredited Registrar Agreement.
EURid will review your application and provide you with further information on documentary evidence needed to proceed with the accreditation process.
Once EURid has approved your application, we will initiate the Agreement. Before you can start registering and managing domain names, we require you to make a **pre-payment **of 2,500 Euro. Once the payment has been made, your agreement will be considered signed.
To qualify for accreditation as a registrar and be authorised to offer domain names under the .eu Top Level Domain and its variants in other scripts (.ею and .ευ), you are required to fulfil the following criteria:
For a more detailed description, please read EURid's Accredited Registrar Agreement.
At the time of accreditation, you will be requested to make a minimum pre-payment of 2 500 euro. Please note that your account must retain a minimum of 2 500 euros in order to register and manage domain names under .eu or its variants in other scripts.
Once you start registering domain names, we will send you a monthly invoice documenting activity over the past month. Payment of the invoice will bring the balance of your registrar account back to your original pre-payment level.
If you
you can choose to switch from a pre-payment to a post-payment based account setup. By using a post-payment based setup you will no longer need to manually pay your invoice or top up your account each month to meet the minimum payment level as those funds will be received by way of direct debit from your bank account.
If you meet the aforementioned requirements, making the switch can be completed through the submission of our online mandate form on registry.eu. The mandate form requires IBAN and BIC information associated with the desired bank account as well as some personal information.
The fees listed below apply to EURid accredited registrars only. If you are thinking about registering a .eu (or its variants in other scripts) domain name or if you are a domain name holder, please contact your registrar for information regarding their registration and other transaction fees.
