About the .BG domain
What is the .BG domain?
Registration also requires selecting an administrative contact resident in Bulgaria; those without one can use a local presence or proxy service offered by some registrars. Applicants resident in the EU or Switzerland must submit an application form and company certificate by post to the registry; applicants from outside the EU need a notarized and legalized Power of Attorney in favor of a trustee acting on their behalf. Domain names can be registered in both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.
The holder must be a company from Bulgaria or the European Union. "Protected domains" require a trademark registered in Bulgaria; "unprotected domains" only require a company registered in the EU. Applicants from outside the EU or Switzerland must provide a notarized, legalized Power of Attorney in favor of a local trustee. Check with our team to confirm availability and exact requirements.
