What are the special requirements for registering a .plc.uk domain?¶

Nominet have special requirements that a .plc.uk (limited) domain must meet before they will register it. As an overview you can only register a .plc.uk domain if:

  • The registrant is a limited company and has “”public limited”” or “”plc”” in their company name

  • The registrant has a valid company registration number

  • The domain being registered must closely match the company name (excluding the words “”limited”” or “”ltd”” on the end, and “”The”” at the start, and “”&”” and “” “” will be replaced by “”and””). All punctuation marks will also be removed.

For the full rules see Nominet’s site.
