.SE domain policies

.SE is the ccTLD for Sweden.

Registration details

Registration details can be found in the TLD reference chart.

Individuals must submit ID card numbers; organizations must submit business registration number. Organizations based outside of Sweden must also submit VAT-ID.

Contact requirements

There are no local presence requirements for this TLD, but the following contact requirements apply:

Swedish Individuals must submit ID card number. The personal identity number consists of 10 digits and a hyphen. The first six correspond to the person's birthday, in YYMMDD form. They are followed by a hyphen. The seventh through ninth are a serial number and the 10th digit is a checksum.

Swedish Organizations must submit their Swedish business registration number.

Organizations based outside of Sweden must also submit VAT-ID. VAT syntax can be checked here.

Changes of ownership

.SE ownership changes require that the attached document be completed and submitted. The document can be emailed to [email protected].

Authorization code process

The responsible registrar requests an authorization code from the registry. Registry Services then generates the code and returns it to the responsible registrar.

Authorization codes have limited validity for 14 days. Please contact OpenSRS support to obtain an Authorization code for your domain.

Additional Verification Requirements for New Domain Registrations 

In response to NIS 2 requirements, Internet Stiftelsen has introduced a new process for additional registrant contact data verification in cases where the data is found to have inaccuracies.

Starting January 1st 2025, domains flagged for inaccurate registrant contact data will be placed on “ServerHold” and will not resolve until the contact data has been updated to valid data. These domains will also be unable to renew or transfer to a new registrar while the verification “ServerHold” is in place.

Flagged domains will be required to process an owner change to update to valid registrant contact data. Please ensure you review the registrant contact data for accuracy prior to making the owner change.

Owner change steps

If the verification was successful, the “ServerHold” will be removed and the domain will begin to resolve. You will also be able to renew your domain and/or transfer to another registrar. 

If the verification is unsuccessful, you will again need to review the data and make adjustments where required. A new owner change must be submitted.
