.iq

Due to ongoing difficulties with our supplier, we are currently unable to guarantee the proper operation of .IQ and .COM.IQ domains. We have therefore decided to temporarily stop accepting new domain registrations and transfer-ins.
Renewals of existing domains are still possible, but we cannot guarantee that the transaction will be processed by the registry. We are working to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible.

Fulfillment Info

FTLD .iq is a Fulfillment TLD. Fullfilment TLDs (FTLDs) are registered through a manual registration process. The manual registration process might involve documents, depending on respective registry regulations, and are therefore not automated for real-time registrations and real-time updates. Updates might cause additional costs!
