About the .DK domain

What is the .DK domain?

.dk is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Denmark, registered with IANA on July 14, 1987, making it one of the oldest ccTLDs in the world. The sponsoring entity is Dansk Internet Forum, while registry operation falls to Punktum dk A/S, based in Copenhagen.

Registration is, in principle, open to people and companies from any country, with no need to be a Danish resident or have business activity in Denmark. However, there is a genuine requirement that sets this extension apart: every .dk domain must have an administrative contact with a permanent address in Denmark. Foreign applicants without such a contact can use a local presence service offered by some registrars. European organizations must also provide a valid VAT number as part of the registration process. Domain names must be between 2 and 63 characters.
