How many direct .UA domains are registered?
Hostmaster reports 25,417 direct second-level .UA registrations as of September 1, 2026, or 5.63% of its reported 451,365-domain Ukrainian namespace total. The total includes .COM.UA and other public subdomains. These are official registry counts, not DNS.Coffee zone-file observations. The 2026 figure is a dated snapshot, not a full-year total.
Can anyone register a domain directly under .UA?
Direct second-level .UA registration is restricted. The requested label must match a mark protected in Ukraine, and the registrant must hold the relevant rights of use.
What trademark evidence is required for .UA?
Select Ukrainian Trademark or International Trademark protected in Ukraine as the Trademark Type, provide Trademark Number and Trademark Name, and upload the Trademark Certificate / Proof. International trademarks require evidence of valid protection in Ukraine. If the registrant is not the trademark owner, upload Trademark License / Assignment Proof establishing the registrant's usage rights in Ukraine.
Does the .UA domain have to match the trademark exactly?
The second-level component must match the protected word mark or an eligible protected verbal part, following the registry’s spelling and transliteration rules.
How long can registry review take?
Ask NiceNIC for the current review timeframe before ordering. Registry checks and requests for supporting trademark documents can affect processing time.
What can I use if I do not qualify for direct .UA?
Hostmaster lists public spaces such as .COM.UA, .IN.UA, .NET.UA, .ORG.UA, and geographic domains. Eligibility and rules vary, so choose the namespace that fits the project.
How do I transfer or update a .UA domain?
Confirm the current registrar, domain status, registrant details, and continued trademark eligibility before starting a domain transfer or holder change.
Can NiceNIC help with several Ukrainian domain names?
Yes. Use the current page for a single .UA search or organize eligible candidates and other Ukrainian namespaces through the bulk workflow.
Is .UA suitable for reseller and agency workflows?
Yes, when each application meets the registry requirements. Confirm .UA support and document handling with NiceNIC before using account management or reseller API services. Document review may require manual handling.
Do both individuals and organizations need trademark documents for .UA?
Yes. Whether the Registrant Type is Individual or Company / Organization, select the Trademark Type, provide Trademark Number and Trademark Name, and upload Trademark Certificate / Proof. These additional requirements apply to direct .UA registration.
Does a WIPO / Madrid international trademark qualify automatically for .UA?
No. You must provide evidence that the international trademark is validly protected in Ukraine. An international trademark registration without protection in Ukraine does not establish eligibility for direct .UA registration.
Can I register .UA if I am not the trademark owner?
You must provide Trademark License / Assignment Proof establishing your right to use the trademark in Ukraine. The registry checks the registrant's usage rights and their validity, as well as the trademark protection and the domain name. A certificate naming another party alone is insufficient.
