About the .DK domain
What is the .DK domain?
Registration is, in principle, open to people and companies from any country, with no need to be a Danish resident or have business activity in Denmark. However, there is a genuine requirement that sets this extension apart: every .dk domain must have an administrative contact with a permanent address in Denmark. Foreign applicants without such a contact can use a local presence service offered by some registrars. European organizations must also provide a valid VAT number as part of the registration process. Domain names must be between 2 and 63 characters.
