.dz registration
A .dz registration is intended for legal entities established in Algeria. The requested domain must be identical to the company or organisation name, or to an acronym recorded in the Trade Register. It may instead match a trademark registered with INAPI or WIPO, provided that the protection covers Algeria. Applicants must provide the legal entity registration number and supporting documents. These include an extract from the Trade Register and a document appointing the designated agent to handle registry procedures. When eligibility is based on a trademark, a valid certificate showing protection in Algeria is also required. Additional ownership details may be requested to verify compliance with registry rules. After order validation, the registrant receives a registration request form that must be signed and returned with the required evidence. The registry processes applications manually, so registration may take several days. Domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, making complete and accurate paperwork important. A .dz label must contain between 2 and 24 characters. Registrar-to-registrar transfers are currently unavailable for .dz. For a holder change, contact host.yt to obtain the applicable procedure; it is handled separately from a standard domain transfer.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .dz extension stand for?
dz is the country-code domain extension associated with Algeria. It signals a clear connection to the Algerian market and, under the registry rules, is reserved for eligible Algerian legal entities whose domain matches their registered name, approved acronym, or qualifying trademark.
Who can register a .dz domain?
Only a legal entity established in Algeria can register a .dz domain. The requested label must be identical to its company or organisation name, an acronym explicitly recorded in the Trade Register, or a trademark protected in Algeria through INAPI or WIPO.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .dz?
Yes. The application requires the entity’s registration number, an extract from the Trade Register, a document appointing the designated agent, and a signed registry request form. Trademark-based applications also require a valid certificate covering Algeria. The registry may request further ownership information for verification.
Is .dz a good choice, and what projects does it suit?
dz is a strong fit for an Algerian company or organisation whose registered identity or protected trademark will be used as the domain. It suits a local corporate site, customer portal, or service aimed at Algeria, provided the applicant can meet the documentary requirements.
When does .dz make more sense than .com?
Choose .dz when a clear Algerian presence and alignment with a registered name or protected mark are important. Choose .com when broader international recognition, easier eligibility, or simpler registrar transfers matter more. .dz carries stronger Algerian relevance, but registration requires documentation and standard transfers are unavailable.
How long does .dz registration take, and how long does it last?
Registration may take several days because the registry reviews the signed application and supporting documents manually. Allocation is first come, first served, so timing also depends on submitting complete paperwork promptly. Once registered, the domain is renewable and should be renewed before its expiry date.
How do I transfer a .dz domain to host.yt?
A registrar-to-registrar transfer is currently not available for .dz, so the domain cannot be moved to host.yt through the normal transfer process. For ownership changes or other administrative needs, contact host.yt to obtain the specific procedure that applies before making changes.
