WHAT IS A .COM.UY DOMAIN

com.uy Domain: Uruguay's Busiest Commercial Zone

com.uy is the commercial zone under Uruguay's country extension and the largest name pool in the country: by the registry's September 2026 statistics 59,078 names are registered under com.uy, more than half of the national total of 111,493. Its rules are written by SeCIU, the computing service of the University of the Republic, but administration of the zone is subdelegated by those same rules to ANTEL, Uruguay's state telecommunications operator, and applications are handled through ANTEL's system.

There is no sector restriction on eligibility: the rules define com.uy as the zone for «commercial entities and those not covered by the other subdomains», so it works both as a commercial and as a catch all zone, and it is open to individuals as well. The real condition is the address: the registrant's data must include a domicile established in Uruguay together with a CI, RUT or equivalent number, and that address counts as a special domicile. The direct second level .uy is open in the same country under the same rules.

A registration runs for 1 years and may be renewed indefinitely; if the payment document is not settled within ten days of issue, the registration lapses on its own. No redemption window is published after expiry — an unrenewed name is deleted automatically. Moving between registrar agents is possible: you obtain an authorisation code valid for fifteen days from the current agent and the transfer completes within ten days at most. Check whether your com.uy name is free on the domain search page.

Rules from SeCIU, operations from ANTEL: In com.uy two institutions work together. Article 7 of the registration rules subdelegates administration of the zone to ANTEL, so applications, payments and technical operations run through ANTEL's system, while the eligibility and allocation rules come from SeCIU's text, which binds every second level zone in the country. In practice this means the body answering your policy questions may not be the one handling your transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions About .com.uy Domains

The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.

  • Yes. The registration rules bind every second level zone and list, among the registrant's data, a domicile established in Uruguay together with a CI, RUT or equivalent number; the closing section treats that address as a «special domicile» and gives the courts of Montevideo jurisdiction. There is no obligation to form a company or appoint a local representative, but the service address has to be settled before you apply. We can plan how to meet this condition with you at the order step.

  • Both, for different tasks. The rules are written by SeCIU, the computing service of the University of the Republic; article 7 of that same text subdelegates administration of the zone to ANTEL, so applications and operations run through the system of the state telecommunications operator. Article 1 of the rules makes SeCIU responsible for .uy and its subdomains.

  • None are required upfront; the process runs on the web. The rules make documents a conditional obligation: the registry may ask for proof of power of attorney or representation when it sees fit, and may request information to verify the details you declared; if the requested information does not arrive within ten days the registration can be suspended. Documents are demanded in advance only for names declared as public education and for the government and military zones. com.uy sits outside those cases.

  • 1 years, renewable indefinitely as long as the maintenance fee is paid. The payment document issued when registration completes must be settled within ten calendar days; if no payment is seen, the registration lapses and the name is released. The renewal fee is paid in advance of the previous expiry date. No redemption window is published after expiry — an unrenewed name is deleted automatically.

  • Yes. The registry publishes the procedure and only the holder or the administrative contact may start it. You obtain an authorisation code from the current agent, valid for fifteen calendar days, open the transfer step in the new agent's system, and the operation completes within ten calendar days at most. The registrant's name and e-mail address must stay identical on both sides. The fee is set by the new agent and includes one year of renewal; you can start on our domain transfer page.

  • Yes, there is a separate procedure for it. The current holder or the administrative contact starts the request in the system; a confirmation e-mail goes to the current holder and then an acceptance e-mail to the incoming one. When the chain is complete a payment document is issued to the new holder and must be settled within three days; once paid, the name's term is extended by one year from its current expiry date. If a confirmation is missing or payment is late, the request is cancelled.
