Check Domain Availability

Registration Restrictions

  • DENIC might request a valid address (no P.O. Box) located in Germany from the owner contact.
  • Nameservers must be configured in advance.
  • Please note that DENIC has very strict requirements on how nameservers should be configured.
  • If you are using your own vanity nameservers pointing at the IP Addresses of nameservers operated by anycast.io and receive an error “118 - Inconsistent set of NS RRs (IP, NS host names)”, please use the anycast.io nameservers instead.
  • You can test your configuration using DENIC’s web based ZoneCheck. For additional information on how the DENIC Zonecheck tool works and the most common errors, please refer to the documentation available on that page.

Domain Transfer Details

Transfer Procedure

  • Initiate the .de domain transfer with the required auth code, and ensure all contacts and nameservers are correctly set. If the domain is in Redemption Grace Period, special conditions apply for the transfer.

Transfer Notes

  • .de transfers are real-time and require an authorization code. Upon successful transfer, the domain is renewed for one year, and the registration period starts anew. Be aware of DENIC’s specific requirements regarding the transfer process.

Authorization Codes

  • The authInfo will need to have at least twelve but not more than 16 characters.
  • Valid characters are: A to Z, a to z, 2 to 9, +, -, /, *.
  • Invalid characters are: I, l, O, o, 0 and 1.
  • Two different codes are available: AuthInfo1 and AuthInfo2.
  • Once you set the authorization code it will be valid for a period of 30 days or until you delete it.
  • In the case that both codes are requested, you can use each of them for the transfer of domains.
  • You can only apply for AuthInfo1 for domains that are administered by us.
  • You can request AuthInfo2 for any domain name. The code will then be sent by certified mail to the domain holder or the Admin-C if the holder has no German address.
  • Please note that the request for an AuthInfo2 is not free of charge.
