Why Documents Are Required to Register a Domain Name


Registries request documents to verify identity, organization status, local presence, professional eligibility or the right to register a restricted name. The requirement comes from the extension's policy or a compliance review, not simply from payment processing.


Documents Commonly Requested

  • Government-issued identity document
  • Company registration or business license
  • Proof of address
  • Trademark or professional credential
  • Signed declaration or intended-use information


Submit Usable Documents

  1. Use a clear, complete and current file.
  2. Match the legal name and address to the order.
  3. Include every page or side requested.
  4. Use the NiceNIC upload or ticket channel specified for the order.
  5. Monitor the review and respond only with the requested correction.


Data Safety

Do not publish documents in public messages. Use the approved NiceNIC account channel and redact information only when the instructions allow it.


Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know the change worked?

Check the current status in your NiceNIC account, then test the service that depends on the document review. Do not rely only on the absence of an error message.

When should I contact NiceNIC Support?

Submit a ticket when the required control is unavailable, the status remains pending after the checks in this guide, or the issue depends on an account-specific order or registry decision.
