.DE domain name registration and transfer

The .DE domain is Germany’s official web address - and a smart, trusted choice for anyone looking to connect with the German market.

It’s been around since 1986 and is now one of the most widely used domains in the world. Managed by DENIC, the .DE extension signals credibility and a strong local presence to German-speaking audiences.

Whether you're a German business, an international brand with ties to the region, or simply want to reach users in Germany, a .DE domain helps you stand out and feel more relevant to your audience.

It’s more than just a domain - it’s a way to show you belong.

Eligibility requirements for .DE domain registration

To register a .DE domain, you’ll need a local presence in Germany - either a physical address or a representative who can act for you.

Your domain name must also follow DENIC’s rules:
- Use approved Latin characters
- Be 1–63 characters long
-Avoid trademark violations

Following these steps makes the registration process easy and compliant.
