Updates to .FI domain processes

Posted on 28 January 2026

To meet Traficom’s NIS2 requirements (as the .FI registry) for the .FI ccTLD, we are updating how .FI domains are handled on our platform.

We are aligning our .FI processes with our existing gTLD and ICANN standards; the same structured approach we already use for SIDN, Nominet, and AFNIC.
The result: consistent processes, clearer responsibilities, and compliance built in by default.

Below is what changes and what we ask from you.

Verification and validation of registrant data

For .FI registrations, we now apply the same verification and validation procedures used for gTLDs under ICANN rules.

Upcoming SSL validity changes: what this means and how to prepare

In the coming years, the maximum validity period of SSL/TLS certificates will be shortened step by step across the entire industry. This change is driven by updated CA/Browser Forum rules and applies to all publicly trusted SSL certificates.

These changes are intended to improve security by limiting the impact of compromised keys and ensuring certificate data remains up to date.

What does this mean in practice?

SSL certificate validity periods will be reduced gradually as part of new CA/Browser Forum baseline requirements.

Certificates issued before each change date will remain valid for their original term. However, any certificate that …
