.it domains can only be registered by VAT-registered
companies or tax-registered individuals operating from within the EU. Non-EU
entities may not register .it domains.
Non-EU companies and
individuals may not register .it domains.
Non-VAT registered
European residents can only register ONE .it
domain.
The registration process is not absolutely immediate: the organization requiring the .it domain must sign and fax a Letter of Undertaking (in Italian) for the required domain.
This letter is automatically generated by the Register.it server at the end of the ordering process. It needs to be printed, signed and faxed (+39 050 542 420) - or sent by surface mail - by the organization requesting the domain.
Domains are assigned by the Registration Authority according to the date of receiving of these letters - it is therefore important that this is done as soon as possible after ordering your domain so that you don't lose your domain assignment priority.
The rules regarding assigning/registering of .it TLDs have been set by the Italian Naming Authority and are monitored and used by the national registration authority. Check the Naming Authority's site for the most up-to-date info (enter and you will find an English version): - http://www.nic.it/RA/index.html - the latest rules; - plus Technical Registration Procedures - as well as Procedures concerning Re-assigning - and Netiquette Rules all of which need to be considered before proceeding with the registration of .it domains.
