• How do I validate my registrant contact for my new .IE domain name(s)?

  When you register a .IE domain, if you have not previously had your registrant contact validated, you're required by the .IE registry to validate your registrant contact before it can be used . After domain registration is complete, you should receive an email from Dynadot with the subject line [.IE Registrant Documentation Required] regarding the documentation. If your registrant contact was already validated, the domain should bypass the validation period and become available to be used. If not, you have to complete the validation within 27 days from the date of registration. Otherwise, the registry will eventually delete the domain within 5 days after the validation period. If you have already submitted the required documents, there may have been an issue with your submission. Please contact our customer support team for further assistance.
