If your domain is rejected after payment has been made, the registration of .al domains undergoes an approval process by the Registry. Typically, they will verify that registrants have correct contact information for each domain, check against prohibited names, and in some cases, review for trademark infringements.

If your domain registration is rejected, we will refund you by adding credits to your account in our system or by issuing a full refund.

For domain.al, 4 additional pieces of information are required:

1. Company ID – This is optional for domain.al, but mandatory for third-level domains.
2. Document Type – Can be one of the options below:
   • Identity Card
   • Passport
   • Social security number
3. Organization Identification Number – The registrant’s ID number.
4. Legal status – It can be one of the options below:
   • Limited Liability Company – Requires Company ID to be filled in.
   • Public Entity/Organization – Requires the company ID to be filled in (mainly for .gov.al).
   • A trader – requires the company’s ID to be completed.
   • Individual.

.al domains can be active for a maximum period of 10 years. This means that during registration, the domain can be registered for a period of up to 10 years. However, domain renewal can be done for a maximum period of 9 years.

Of course, you can buy as many domains as you or your business needs.

Can we register domains in .com.al and similar third-level .al domains?

The following rules apply to third-level domains:

1. The company ID field is mandatory.
2. .com.al requires the company registration certificate as an additional document. Only a Limited Liability Company or a Commercial Person can have legal status.
3. .org.al requires as an additional document the license showing the company ID. Only a Limited Liability Company can have legal status.
4. .edu.al requires a license from the Ministry of Education in Albania as an additional document. Only a Limited Liability Company or Public Entity/Organization can have legal status.
5. In some cases, the Registry (AKEP) may request an identity card. This mainly happens in cases where the domain is a trademark.
