81,000 UK-owned .eu domains domain names will be blocked
The .EU domain name is the exclusive top-level domain name of the European Union. According to EU regulations, only citizens of EU member states or companies registered in EU member states can hold this domain name.
If the identity conditions are not met, the relevant domain name will not be able to apply for registration or be banned by the registry. Now a large number of British citizens and British companies are facing problems.
Because the United Kingdom has officially left the European Union and is no longer a member of the European Union, it is not a member of the European Union and naturally does not have the authority to continue to use the exclusive domain names of the European Union countries.
The European Internet Domain Name Registry is also very tough. It was originally believed that the registry would only prevent British citizens or companies from continuing to register domain names after Brexit.
However, I never expected that the European Internet Domain Name Registry would directly take back the unqualified domain names, which would affect more than 81,000 registered domain names.
The European Internet Domain Name Registry has issued a notice that all registrants who do not meet the requirements of EU top-level domain names must submit their identity certificates within 90 days.
If the identity certificate cannot be submitted within 90 days, the registered domain name will also be taken back. The final result is that the domain name will be revoked by the registry.
The registry stated that if the registrant is a citizen of an EU member state, he can own a domain name, and he can continue to hold an EU domain name no matter where the registrant lives.
At the same time, companies registered in EU member states can continue to hold the domain name, regardless of whether the company’s actual controller is a citizen of an EU member state.
