  • The requested domain name must match with the name officially declared.
  • You must provide a copy of a registration certificate or equivalent of the European company.
  • You must provide a letter of authority on headed paper if you are acting on behalf of the company.
For a Portuguese, European or international trade mark
  • The requested domain name must match with the brand name on the certificate of registration of the Portuguese national, international or European trademark since Portugal is on the list of countries covered. It is also possible to register a domain name based on a mark being registered. However, if the registration is denied, the domain name will be canceled.
  • You must provide a certificate of registration or receipt of completing a trademark application.
  • You must provide a letter of authority on headed paper if you are acting on behalf of the trademark owner.

How to register a domain name?

Why have a domain name?

A domain name enables you to name a website hosted on a server instead of using a number. Without this domain name, you would have to name a website by its IP address (for OVH: 213.186.33.5)




Domain renewal
What is a domain renewal?

Renewal is extending the domain validity for a given period of time (from 1 to 10 years according to its extension)
