What is .de?
.de is one of the largest country codes in the world and DENIC does not use the UDRP. Disputes go to German courts. .de is the official internet extension for Germany.
.de has a local presence rule. Anyone can hold a .de name, but the registrant must be reachable at an address in Germany. If you live abroad you must name a person in Germany who can receive legal papers for you. No documents are uploaded, but you must give a valid German postal address for the registrant or a German contact person. Many Pakistani exporters and overseas Pakistanis qualify through a local partner, office or trustee service. Ask us before you buy and we will confirm the route.
Here is how it looks in real life. A Pakistani sportswear exporter with a sales agent in Hamburg can register a .de name using that agent as the German contact.
