About .pe domains

.PE is a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) in the DNS root zone. It is designated for Peru. The IANA root zone lists the registry manager as Red Cientifica Peruana. Registration policies (who may register, local presence, pricing) are set by the registry and its accredited registrars — not by IANA.

.pe is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Peru. It was created on 25 November 1991. It is managed since its creation by the Red Científica Peruana (RCP).

Who can register .pe domains?

Eligibility is defined by the registry operator and its registrars. Most gTLDs are open to anyone worldwide. Many ccTLDs are also open globally; some require local presence, citizenship, or trademark rights. Always confirm current policy with the registry or your registrar.
