Requirements
Who can register a .sch.ae?
- According to the registry's registrant categories, .sch.ae is intended for educational institutions: schools, colleges and universities recognised by the Ministry of Education of the United Arab Emirates.
Additional details for registration
- When you register, you state which category you fall into as the registrant. For .sch.ae, that's the educational institution category.
- If your organisation doesn't fall into one of the set categories, registration is only possible if .aeDA explicitly allows it. This rarely happens.
Transfer
Transferring a .sch.ae
- After the transfer request, you as the registrant will receive an email asking you to confirm the transfer. Without that confirmation, the transfer won't go ahead and the request will expire.
- The current registrar is notified of the request and, under the regulator's rules, can dispute it within three days.
- If there's no objection, the transfer is automatically approved after 48 hours.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain.
- The code is at least 6 and at most 32 characters long and contains at least one letter and at least one number.
- The code must not be a word that appears in a dictionary.
Owner
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If you cancel your domain name, the registry won't delete it until the expiry date.
- If you want the domain name deleted straight away, WebOké will arrange that for you. You will need to provide proof from the registrant, though.
