Indian domain information
.in domains remain open for registration to everyone until May 27, 2025.
Starting from May 28, 2025, new registrations, domain transfers, and ownership changes will only be available to Indian citizens and companies legally registered in India.
The registry will also enforce mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures to verify registrant identity. This will include:
- providing a valid identity document (e.g., passport, national ID, or business registration),
- verifying the email address and phone number,
- ensuring that WHOIS contact details are accurate — the use of WHOIS privacy services, proxy providers, or temporary email addresses (e.g., ProtonMail) will no longer be allowed.
KYC verification will only apply to new domain operations (registrations, transfers, ownership changes). Existing .in domains will remain unaffected unless the registrant or registrar is changed.
