Yes. The regulations set no nationality, residence or local representative requirement; the holder is defined simply as the party to the agreement with NASK. The registry's Q4 2025 report puts numbers on it: 9.02% of active names belong to holders outside Poland, and among new registrations the share is 14.39%. Registration runs only through registrars in the NASK Partner Programme, which had 198 registrars from 22 countries; the 47 based elsewhere in Europe manage close to 593,000 names on their own.

The agreement itself has no fixed end date; what defines the term is the paid billing period, which is renewed when it expires. The renewal ceiling is ten years. The registry adds one detail on its life cycle page: renewing for ten years while shifting the billing period by a further 365 days can reach a maximum value of eleven years. Under the regulations the fee is owed by the registrar, and NASK does not charge the holder directly.

The chain is short and explicit. Once the paid billing period ends, the name may stay in that state for up to 30 days and can be renewed throughout. When the agreement is terminated, the name remains in the registry for another 5 days before being released for registration. A separate suspension state also exists: maintenance can be suspended over unpaid registrar fees, subscriber data left un-updated after a request, or use of the name that threatens network security.

An option is a three-year priority right to a name you expect to be released, and only one option can exist per name. It guarantees nothing: it puts you first in line if the current agreement ends within the term, and it can be extended for another three years. The option is visible in the WHOIS record. According to the registry, roughly 299,000 option contracts have been concluded since launch and 42.33% of them ended with the name becoming available.

A change of registrar runs on the authinfo code, and the registry sides with the holder here: the registrar must release the code without undue delay and may not make it conditional on anything, including payment. If it refuses, you file a written complaint with NASK, which asks the registrar to explain itself and, in exceptional cases, releases the code directly. For the full process see our domain transfer page.

UDRP does not apply and NASK stays out of disputes. The registry publishes three forums: the Court of Arbitration for Internet Domain Names at PIIT, the Court of Arbitration at the Polish Chamber of Commerce, and the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center. Where both parties are domiciled outside Poland, WIPO is the competent forum — which is the normal case for a holder registering from Turkey. A final ruling of infringement lets NASK terminate the agreement and register the name for the claimant.

Today it does not. Queries made on 13 August 2026 returned only the registrant's type ("organization" or "individual"), the name servers, the dates, the option and DNSSEC status and the registrar's full details; no name or address is published. That regime is changing: the NIS2-aligned act requires contact details of subscribers who do not benefit from data-protection law to be published, while natural persons stay protected. You can run a lookup on our whois search page.

Yes. NASK registers names in the "xn--" ASCII form and does not limit support to Polish diacritics; its own page shows Cyrillic, Greek and Hebrew examples. The single restriction is that one name may use only one character set. The scale is published too: at the end of 2025 the registry held 23,822 IDNs, 0.93% of all active names. It works in the functional zones as well — names written with "gdańsk" are registered under com.pl, org.pl and edu.pl.
