We have received a number of complaints from people who have received unsolicited (spam) emails in which the sender claims to have pre-registered their .eu domain name on their behalf.

Please note that there are no accredited .eu registrars at this time and it is not possible to pre-register a .eu name with us. Such pre-registrations sit only in the database of the provider offering the service and have no official status with the .eu registry.

Over the coming months, we will accredit a network of .eu registrars across Europe and publish a list on our website. You will need to contact one of those registrars in order to obtain your .eu name.
