.ES Domain Names
This article explains the requirements and special procedures for .ES domain names.
Registering a .ES domain
Legal form
You will need to select an entity type from the provided options. If you choose a non-individual type, the contact must include an organization.
ID number
The ID card or passport number of the admin (you can create contacts for Spanish citizens using their passport. Choose Others from the dropdown as a type of identification document, and enter the passport number).
ID type
Provide any of the following identification details:
- DNI or NIF**: Select this option to provide either your Spanish National ID (DNI) or Spanish Tax Identification Number (NIF).
- Resident alien ID (NIE): Select this option for foreigners in Spain, composed of a letter at the beginning, 7 numbers, and a final letter. Do not add any hyphens; only include letters and numbers.
- Generic ID: Select this option for passports, company registration numbers, and foreign documents.
Renewing a .ES domain
Auto-renewal only
This TLD doesn’t support manual renewals. To successfully renew the domain, the auto-renewal feature must be enabled at least 1 month before the domain will expire, as explained in the Auto-Renewal Required Domains article.
If auto-renewal is not enabled, the domain will be scheduled for removal 12 days before the expiration. The registrar can deactivate it at any point during this period (even before the expiration date). You may be able to restore the domain before final deletion, but the registry will charge a redemption fee.
