About the .SE domain

What is the .SE domain?

The .se is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Sweden, registered in the IANA database on September 4, 1986 — one of the oldest ccTLDs in the world, alongside .ch or .uk — and managed by Internetstiftelsen (The Swedish Internet Foundation), based in Stockholm, with Netnod AB handling the technical contact and nameserver operation.

Until 2003, registration of .se was limited to entities with presence in Sweden; that restriction was lifted by a liberalizing reform that opened the domain to any individual or company in the world, with no Swedish residency required, under a strict first-come, first-served allocation principle. The opening, however, came paired with mandatory identity verification: individuals must provide a personal identification number, such as a Swedish personnummer, an ID document number, or a passport number; companies must provide an organization number equivalent to a VAT or business registration number, with foreign entities providing an equivalent official identification document.
Registration restrictions

Registration has been open to any person or company in the world since the liberalizing reform of 2003, with no Swedish residency required. It does, however, require identity verification: individuals must provide a personal identification number (such as a Swedish personnummer, an ID document number, or a passport number), and companies must provide an organization number equivalent to a VAT or business registration number.
