Requirements
Who can register a .com.ua?
- You can only register a .com.ua domain if you own a trademark that exactly matches the domain name. This applies to both businesses and private individuals.
- The domain name must match the trademark exactly. So with the trademark cooldrink you can register cooldrink..com.ua, but not cooldrink-online..com.ua.
- Valid options are an international trademark via WIPO designating Ukraine, or a Ukrainian trademark.
- If you're not the trademark owner yourself, a licence agreement with the trademark owner will also do. It must be registered with the Ukrainian Institute of Industrial Property.
Additional details for registration
- Your trademark's registration number.
- The date your trademark was registered.
Documents
- A trademark certificate under the Madrid System that is valid in Ukraine. Field 831, listing the designated countries, must contain the abbreviation UA.
- Alternatively, a Ukrainian trademark certificate issued by the central Ukrainian government authority for intellectual property.
- If you hold a licence for the trademark, send in the licence agreement with the trademark owner. It must be registered with the Ukrainian Institute of Industrial Property.
Good to know when registering
- When registering, you must prove that you have rights to a trademark that exactly matches the domain name.
Transfer
Transferring a .com.ua
- Documents may be required when you transfer a domain. WebOké will contact you if that's the case.
- After a successful transfer, your domain is automatically renewed for 1 year.
Owner
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- You can't separately renew a .com.ua domain early or delete it immediately. WebOké handles renewal and cancellation for you around the expiry date.
- Restoring a domain after cancellation can't be done automatically. However, WebOké can submit a request to have the domain restored manually.
