However, the regulations do require individuals to provide a valid identification number (or its equivalent) when applying for registration. There are also content restrictions unusual among ccTLDs: registering geographical names, surnames of people other than the applicant, or recognized trademarks not belonging to the registrant is not allowed. The registration process is usually resolved within 1 to 7 days.
