Unsure? Ask us before you order. 2. ### Prepare your details - The registrant’s legal name, exactly as on your documents. - A UAE address, phone number and email you check. - A copy of your trade licence or other documents, in case the registry asks. 3. ### Search for the name Search on the [.ae domains page](https://globalhostia.com/ae-domains). You see the first-year and renewal price before you pay. 4. ### Order and complete the contact details Add the domain to your cart and enter the registrant details carefully: the registry checks them against your documents. 5. ### Answer any registry request If the registry needs documents, our team asks you in a support ticket and submits them for you. 6. ### Point the domain Once active, point the domain to your hosting and email. See [how to change nameservers](https://globalhostia.com/guides/change-nameservers). ## Good to know - Registry rules can change; the registry’s current policy always applies. - Use details that match your documents exactly to avoid delays. - Consider registering the matching .com too. See [.ae vs .com](https://globalhostia.com/compare/ae-vs-com).
