On 6 September 2021, Denmark introduced new, stricter
rules for registrants of '.dk' domain names. If domain name
registrants do not keep their contact information up-to-date,
all of the registrants' domain names may risk getting
suspended and deleted. Secondly, 'Registrar Management' has
been introduced. A registrant can hereby allow a registrar to
manage the domain name administration. Thirdly, higher prices have
been introduced.
Obligation to keep contact information up-to-date
The administrator of the '.dk' registry (DK-Hostmaster) has the right to demand
documentation of the identity of a domain name registrant. Such a
demand can be made at the request of DK-Hostmaster by its own
accord or on the basis of a request from a third party, e.g. a
trademark owner. Non-compliance within 25 days can result in the
cancellation of the domain name and all
those domain names that a registrant has a right to use based on
the contact information.
