Who can register .se domains?

Anyone can register .se domain names, however, if the registrant is an organization or company, they must provide the VAT number. If the registrant is a individual, the individual's personal ID number will need to be listed in the VAT field.

Features

  • Registration length: 1-10 years
  • Renewal length: 1-9 years
    • Your .se domain name renews before its expiration date. The renewal date depends on whether the domain name is auto-renewed or renewed manually. Auto-renewal is attempted 21 days prior to the domain name's expiration. If the renewal attempt fails, we re-attempt renewal 14 days prior to expiration. If the second attempt fails, we try one more time 7 days prior to the expiration date.
    • If we cannot auto-renew the domain name and you do not manually renew it 7 days prior to the expiration date, it must be redeemed. There might be a fee for the redemption. See Renew my expired domain for instructions on the redemption.
    • For example: Your .se domain name expires on October 1. If your domain name does not renew automatically, you can renew it manually by September 24. For automatic renewals, we attempt to renew the domain name on September 10, September 17, and September 24
