In addition to these guidelines, domain names must be no less than 3 characters and no more than 63 characters in length.
STEP ONE - AUTHENTICATION
All prospective registrants of .travel domains must first be authenticated by an Authentication Agent. For a list of authorised Authentication Agents visit: www.travel.travel/authenticationframe.htm
The Authentication Agent will verify your eligibility to a .travel domain and they will then send you a Unique Identification Number (UIN), which you must retain – this is your proof of eligibility.
Authentication Agents work with the .travel registry to verify your eligibility to the domain name. All registrants must select an Authentication Agent themselves. In the case of industry associations which are acting as Authentication Agents, you must be a member of the association in order for them to carry out the authentication. In all other cases, the Authentication Agent will be able to carry out authentication process.
STEP TWO - REGISTRATION
Once you have completed authentication, simply call our Sales Team on 0870 755 5088 to complete the registration.
