About .se domains

About .se domains

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

.se, formerly branded as .SE, is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Sweden. It is operated by The Swedish Internet Foundation (Internetstiftelsen), but domains must be registered through one of the approved registrars. The Internet Foundation in Sweden is managed on the basis of its charter of foundation and its statutes. The Foundation is managed by a board of directors, whose decisions are executed by the executive management.

Who can register .se 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.
