Can anyone register .de domains?

It is possible for individuals or institutions (that have legal capacity) not located in Germany to register .de domains.

There is, however, a condition, namely that they must appoint an administrative contact who is resident in Germany and who has a postal address at which it is possible to serve documents (i.e. not a mere P.O. box).

The administrative contact is then also the person formally authorized by the domain holder to receive service of official or court documents (Zustellungsbevollmchtigter) within the meaning of the German Code of Civil Procedure (Zivilprozessordnung) and the German Code of Criminal Procedure (Strafprozessordnung). The reason for this measure is to ensure that if any party has a legal claim to pursue, it is not made more difficult for them by having to serve official or court documents in another country, which is often a long, drawn-out process.

What are the .de syntax rules?

.de domains can have the digits 0-9, the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, and a hyphen

Why is it not possible to register the geographic abbreviations used on German road-vehicle number plates as domains?

Given the large number of .de domains that have been registered to date, the Registry wants to keep the option open of expanding its name space through the use of regional subdivisions. The geographic abbreviations used on road-vehicle number plates in Germany could well be suitable for use as Second Level Domains for this purpose.

For example, anyone living in the district called Main-Taunus-Kreis would be able to register a domain under .mtk.de. To keep this option open, the Registry must make sure that all these domains (such as mtk.de) are kept free. At present, no decision has been taken as to whether such regionalized Second Level Domains will be introduced and when.

Why is it not possible to register domains that are shorter than three characters?

If domains with only two characters were registered, there would be a serious risk of confusion with the endings of the country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs), which are also comprised of two letters (such as .uk for the United Kingdom or .fr for France). Domains with the pattern TLD.TLD (such as uk.de) would also cause technical problems on account of a programming bug in a version of DNS Resolver software that is in widespread use. The errors that occur cause difficulties not only for the domain that triggers them but for other sites as well.

Here you can discuss legal issue regarding registration, maintenance, transfer, and protection of your .de domains here...

Well, for a starter you should maybe change the flag of Germany. The German Flag Black/Red/Gold, like in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Germany. In some places in the Forum you took the right flag, but in some not.

Do NOT take the one with the Eagle, thats only for official purposes (like the seal of the POT).

Otherwise: GREAT IDEAR, this forum.
