About the .FI domain

What is the .FI domain?

.fi is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Finland, registered with IANA on December 17, 1986, making it one of the oldest ccTLDs in the world — predating even the registration of the very first .com domain in history, in March 1985, by only a few months in the case of many other pioneering ccTLDs. It is managed by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom), which determines registration conditions and authorizes .fi domain providers.

Registration is open to any individual or company in the world, with no need for a seat or commercial presence in Finland. Applicants must provide data such as date of birth (individuals) or VAT code (companies), along with nationality, residence, address, and contact phone number. Traficom expressly recommends checking public trademark registers before registering a domain, to ensure the chosen name does not infringe a trademark protected in Finland or the European Union.
