Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to register a .SWISS domain?
Registering a .SWISS domain usually takes about 28 days.
Are there special requirements for registering .SWISS domains?
Yes. The requirements are: .SWISS
- Available only to the Swiss community: companies registered in the Swiss Commercial Register with their headquarters and administration in Switzerland, Swiss public bodies, associations and foundations based in Switzerland, individuals living in Switzerland and Swiss citizens.
- Companies and individuals outside Switzerland, and branches of foreign companies, cannot register it. The registry does not allow an intermediary to hold the domain, so we cannot offer our Trustee Service for .SWISS.
- The domain name must be related to the owner: its company name, a trademark it owns, the name of one of its products or services or, for individuals, their own name. Generic words (such as hotel or taxi) follow a special procedure of the registry.
- After you place your order you will be asked for your company's UID number or, if you are an individual, your Swiss social insurance number (AHV) and proof of residence in Switzerland or of Swiss citizenship; the domain stays pending until we receive them.
- The registry reviews each application and publishes it for 20 days before assigning the domain, so registration takes about 4 weeks..
