No. Although the zone is set aside for commercial use, the rules impose no company, address or residency test on registrants; registration from outside the islands is open and documents are not requested as a matter of routine. Measurement supports this: names under the zone include off-island brands such as British Airways, Amazon and Aramex. The "co" label is a signal to visitors rather than an eligibility condition, so anyone planning commercial use can apply.

The rules, the registry, the dispute procedure and the term model are identical, because both run on the same terms and conditions. The difference lies in length and signal. .je is shorter and states the island identity directly, while .co.je says plainly that you are a trading business — and a short name already taken at the second level is often still free here. Technically .co.je is a separate, DNSSEC-signed zone.

Yes. The rules make it a condition of the contract that a site used for a commercial purpose publishes identifying details in a reasonably prominent place. The minimum is listed: company name, postal and email address, registration number, place of incorporation, a non-electronic way of making contact, and any trade bodies or professional associations you belong to. Because this zone exists for commercial use, the condition applies to nearly every registration in it, so prepare that page before launch.

There is no multi-year prepayment. The minimum period is one year and the contract then continues until either side ends it, with the fee falling due before each registration anniversary. A lookup shows the words registered until cancelled instead of an expiry date. If payment slips, name resolution can be suspended first, and an amount outstanding for more than thirty days can end the agreement. So the single date to track is the annual payment day.

The registry's own procedure, CI-DRS, applies. The first two grounds are trademark based: the name is identical or confusingly similar to a mark in which the complainant has rights, and the holder has no rights or legitimate interest in it or registered or used it in bad faith. The process starts with free mediation and moves to an independent adjudicator if that fails. Separately, the four island governments may object that a registration could damage the islands' reputation as a financial centre.

The gaining registrar runs the transfer and will ask you for an authorisation code; for names held directly with the registry, that code sits in the advanced section of your account. Registrars are obliged to help registrants move to the provider they choose, and if nothing happens within a reasonable time the registry can intervene for an administrative charge. Moving from a registrar back to direct registration is limited to exceptional cases. Start on the domain transfer page.
