How to register a .ae domain

The live .ae price is shown on the .ae domains page and in the order form before you pay.

1. 1

   Check eligibility

   The .ae registry generally expects a presence in the UAE, such as a UAE trade licence or a local contact, and may ask that the name relates to you, for example your company or trading name or a trademark you hold. Unsure? Ask us before you order.

2. 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. 3

   Search for the name

   Search on the .ae domains page. You see the first-year and renewal price before you pay.

4. 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. 5

   Answer any registry request

   If the registry needs documents, our team asks you in a support ticket and submits them for you.

6. 6

   Point the domain

   Once active, point the domain to your hosting and email. See how to change nameservers.

• 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.
