About the .EG domain
What is the .EG domain?
Registration requires the holder to be a legal entity owning a trademark registered covering Egyptian territory, either through the Egyptian Trademark Office or the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Companies with no headquarters in Egypt can still register a .eg domain if they have a local representative or recognized agent in the country. Required documentation includes a formal application, applicant identification, a legalized power of attorney, and a trademark registration certificate matching the domain name. Second-level registration is not available for generic names or individuals, and the regulations expressly prohibit selling, transferring, or leasing already-registered .eg domains.
