Requirements
Who can register a .fi?
- There are no longer any restrictions for .fi: anyone can register a domain name, including from outside Finland.
- Check beforehand whether the name you want to register is a protected name or someone else's trademark in Finland or the EU. Checking those registers is easy and free.
Additional details for registration
- You indicate what type of registrant you are, for example private individual, company, institution, political party, municipality or government.
- If you're a private individual living outside Finland, you must give your date of birth.
- Private individuals from Finland can give their Finnish personal identity code.
- If you register on behalf of an organisation, you give the business ID from the Finnish Trade Register or, for a non-Finnish organisation, the registration number from its own trade register.
Transfer
Transferring a .fi
- To transfer a domain to another registrar, you need a transfer code from the registry. WebOké requests it for you.
- You use that code to start the transfer with your new registrar.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code for both a transfer and a change of registrant.
- When you transfer a domain to another registrar, WebOké requests the code from the registry for you and passes it on to you.
- For a change of registrant, the registry sends the code by email to the current registrant of the domain name.

Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- First, a transfer code is requested. The current registrant receives it by email from the registry.
- The domain name is then transferred to the new registrant. For this, you provide the full details of the new owner.
- The change of registrant is processed immediately.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- After a change of registrant, a .fi domain name is not renewed automatically. So after the handover, check that the renewal has been set up properly.
