Before you register a .org.al domain

  • Only companies, organisations and associations registered in Albania can register this extension.
  • Documents: a valid ID for individuals; a QKB extract for companies; the registration decision for NGOs and associations; foreign entities provide an equivalent registration document (translated where required).
  • Names that exactly match a trademark or patent registered with the General Directorate of Industrial Property (DPPI) are reserved for the rights holder. AKEP also keeps lists of prohibited and reserved names.
  • The domain must be put into use within one year of registration or renewal, otherwise it can be released for someone else to register.
  • All registrant details must be complete, accurate and verifiable — no domain is registered with false data.
