About the .EG domain

What is the .EG domain?

.eg is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Egypt, registered with IANA on November 30, 1990. Since 1991, management has fallen to the Egyptian Universities Network (EUN), under the country's Supreme Council of Universities — another case, like .do or .cy, of a ccTLD managed by an academic institution rather than a government body.

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.
