.al registration
.al is Albania’s country-code domain and suits organizations, businesses, and individuals seeking a clear Albanian identity. Individuals from any country can apply and must provide either an ID card or passport number. Legal entities provide registration, VAT, and representative identity details according to where they are established. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .al label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. The registry may request additional holder information to identify the registrant and verify compliance. Albanian companies provide a VAT number and their representative’s identity details. EU companies provide registration and EU VAT numbers, while companies elsewhere provide a registration number and representative identification. To transfer a .al domain to host.yt, remove the transfer protection at the current registrar and obtain the authorization code. The transfer can take several days, but it does not change the domain’s existing expiration date. Changing the holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current and future holders, and the request is cancelled if it is not completed within five days. A completed holder change leaves the expiration date unchanged. Related Albanian namespace options include .com.al, .net.al, and .org.al.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .al extension stand for?
al is the country-code top-level domain assigned to Albania. It gives a website, service, or organization a recognizable connection with the country and is especially relevant for projects serving Albanian residents, customers, institutions, or communities.
Who can register a .al domain?
Individuals and legal entities from Albania and other countries can register .al domains. Applicants must supply the holder information appropriate to their legal form and country of establishment. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .al?
The required information depends on the registrant. Individuals provide an ID card or passport number. Companies may need registration and VAT numbers, plus the ID card or passport number of their legal representative. The exact combination varies between Albanian, EU, and other legal entities.
Is .al a good choice, and what projects suit it?
al is a strong fit for Albanian businesses, local services, public-interest projects, cultural initiatives, and international organizations addressing an Albanian audience. It can also support a brand that wants its connection with Albania to be immediately visible in the domain name.
When does .al make more sense than .com?
al makes more sense when Albania is central to the project because it communicates a specific geographic identity. .com offers broader international familiarity but does not signal a local focus. Choose .al for Albanian relevance and .com when a neutral, global identity matters more.
How quickly is .al registered, and how long does registration last?
al registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after the required holder details are submitted and accepted. Processing time can vary if additional information is requested. Confirm the available registration term with host.yt when ordering and renew before the resulting expiration date.
How do I transfer a .al domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection with your current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code when starting the transfer to host.yt. Completion may take several days. The transfer itself does not extend, shorten, or otherwise change the domain’s existing expiration date.
