.srl Domain: A Company Form Restricted by the Agreement
The .srl registry agreement was signed on 7 May 2015 and the zone entered the root on 9 July 2015. The contracting party today is InterNetX Corp., based in Miami. The abbreviation stands for Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada in Spanish, Società a Responsabilità Limitata in Italian and Societate cu Răspundere Limitată in Romanian — the limited liability company form used across Latin America, Italy and Romania.
As measured on 13 August 2026, the zone holds 14,191 registrations, of which 12,153 appear in the zone file, a publication rate near eighty-six percent. The registry names its target markets as Argentina, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Test candidates on the .srl domain search page.
In most extensions named after a company form, the registry never verifies that status. This one is different: the public interest section of the agreement defines a Registrant Eligibility Policy and opens registration only to companies formally registered as SRL, where that registration was granted by a governmental body or an organisation authorised by one. If the condition lapses, the operator may refuse registration, renewal or transfer, place the name on lock or cancel it outright.

.srl Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .srl domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .srl address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .srl domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $10.74 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .srl returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .srl Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Under the agreement, no. The Registrant Eligibility Policy opens registration only to companies formally registered as SRL, and requires that the registration was granted by a governmental body or an organisation authorised by one. The registrar must place a representation to that effect in your registration agreement. Test candidates on the .srl search page once you have confirmed your status.
-
The agreement calls for a representation rather than documents: your registrar takes an undertaking that you meet the condition and asks you to report material changes. That representation is not toothless, though. The operator must maintain a non-compliance contact reachable by governments and law enforcement around the clock, and must begin investigating within twenty-four hours of a report; names found non-compliant can be locked or cancelled.
-
There is no such limit. An eligible company may register as many names as it needs, and the name is not required to match the company name. That opens the door to brand names, product lines and campaign addresses under the same eligibility. To check several candidates in one pass, use bulk domain search instead of testing them individually.
-
No. The registry states plainly that it does not currently offer internationalised domain names and that a name may contain only a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and the hyphen. That is a zone-specific choice and it shapes your naming plan directly: if your brand carries accented letters, prepare an unaccented spelling and use that spelling consistently across printed material too.
-
Yes, but transfers here carry an eligibility dimension too: the registration agreement at the gaining registrar will contain the same representation, so your company status must still hold. The technical steps are standard — release the lock, obtain the authorisation code, file the request. Run it from the domain transfer page and confirm through whois search.
