What you need to do if you hold .EU domains in the UK

19 October 2020 - by Gavin

All .EU domain registrants in the UK should have recently received a reminder about the upcoming changes to .EU domain names for UK registrants.

As the UK left the EU on the 1st of February 2020, any UK registrants of .EU domains will no longer be eligible to hold them and as such they will be withdrawn from the registry on 1 January 2021.

Registrants will be able to keep them if, they are a legally established entity in one of the eligible Union Member States, or updating their residence to a Union Member State, or proving their citizenship of a Union Member State irrespective of their residence and have until 1st January 2021 to demonstrate their compliance with the .eu regulatory framework.
