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.
This helps ensure that registrant data is accurate and compliant with EU regulations.
Please make sure all registrant details are complete and correct at the time of ordering.
Getting it right upfront avoids delays later.
Reseller disclosure via EPP
We will provide the .FI registry with reseller information through EPP. This includes the reseller’s name and contact details, which will be linked to the domain.
To support this, please ensure your branding details are up to date and accurate.
Clear identification helps registries, regulators, and partners understand who is responsible for what.
Protected names and designations
In addition to trademarks, registrants must be informed about protected designations listed in the EU’s eAmbrosia register.
As a reseller, you are responsible for clearly communicating these restrictions to your customers before registration.
Public non-personal WHOIS data
Non-personal domain registration data must be made publicly available without undue delay. For .FI domains, this requirement can be fulfilled by linking to Traficom’s WHOIS service.
Please ensure your customer-facing pages (such as legal or WHOIS pages) include a reference or link to this WHOIS service where applicable.
Please note: for organisation contacts, address details are typically disclosed in WHOIS by default.
Why this matters
These updates support standardisation, transparency, and compliance, helping reduce risk for you, as a reseller, and your customers.
