.COM.AU Domains

Last updated


To register a .COM.AU domain, the registrant must be an Australian business, a foreign company licensed to trade in Australia, or an Australian trademark owner or applicant, and must provide a valid eligibility ID such as an ABN, ACN, or trademark number. Individuals cannot register .COM.AU domains.

For renewals, transfers, and ownership changes, which work the same way for all .AU domains, see .AU Domains.

What information does the .COM.AU registration form ask for?

The form asks for an eligibility ID type and number, how the domain name relates to the registrant, the registrant’s eligibility type, and the organization name. The domain name must be an exact match, abbreviation, or acronym of the registrant’s name or trademark, or otherwise closely and substantially connected to the registrant. See .AU Domains for the accepted ID types.

An Australian address is not required.

Warning

The organization name must match the information registered for the ABN or ACN you submit.
