About the .UY domain
What is the .UY domain?
Registration requires proving local presence in Uruguay, or holding a registered trademark. Those who meet neither condition can use trustee services, offered by some registrars, who maintain a physical address in the country and act as a local representative on the applicant's behalf. Registration must always be completed through a SeCIU-accredited registrar, with no business registration or VAT number required. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters, the registration term is one year, and typical processing time is about three days. The extension also supports several subdomains, such as .com.uy, .net.uy, .org.uy, and .edu.uy, depending on the sector.
Registration requires local presence in Uruguay or holding a registered trademark. Those who don't meet either condition can use trustee services offered by some registrars, who act as a local proxy on their behalf. Contact our team to confirm availability and the exact requirements.
