About the .PY domain
What is the .PY domain?
Individuals wishing to register a .py domain must provide a valid ID number, such as a national ID card or passport, while companies must present their business registration number or equivalent documentation proving their legal incorporation. Foreign companies can apply for delegation of a .py domain, but must do so through a duly authorized representative established in Paraguay, which in practice means at least the billing contact must reside in the country. There are also subdomain-specific requirements: .net.py is reserved for individuals or entities related to internet, telecommunications or digital services, while .edu.py requires being an educational institution recognized by the competent Paraguayan authority. The .com.py subdomain, by contrast, imposes no additional requirements beyond basic identification of the holder.
Individuals must provide a valid ID number (national ID or passport), and companies their business registration number. Foreign companies can apply for the domain, but must do so through an authorized representative established in Paraguay, which in practice means the billing contact must reside in the country.
