What is a .al domain?
A .al domain is a top-level domain (TLD) used to identify websites connected with Albania. The “al” code represents the country under the international ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard.
It is used by businesses, personal sites, organisations and institutions alike — anywhere you want to tie your online presence to an Albanian identity and speak directly to a local audience.
In essence, a .al domain is the most direct way to make your project recognisable and easy to find within the Albanian corner of the internet.

Learn the essentials before registering a .al domain.
Regulation for .al domains
Like every country-code domain, .al follows a regulation set by AKEP (the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority), which binds both the registrar and the client. Read the full rules.
GDIP — Industrial Property
The General Directorate of Industrial Property is the institution legally responsible for registering and administering industrial property objects, including rights over trademarks and patents.
List of prohibited names
AKEP maintains a list of names that cannot be registered under .al because they are considered unsuitable for public use. Check it before you buy.
List of reserved names
There is also a list of reserved names — names with sensitive public use. We recommend reviewing it before proceeding with registration.
Transfer to a new registrar
.al domains are transferred using an authorisation code (EPP code, AUTH code or transfer key). The code is issued by your current registrar and must be used within 24 hours. See the transfer guide.
Money-back guarantee
A .al domain purchase is approved by AKEP. If the domain is approved, refunds are not possible. If AKEP does not approve the application, your payment is refunded in full.
Online register of the General Directorate of Industrial Property
Before searching for and registering a “.al” domain you should check the website of the General Directorate of Industrial Property (GDIP) to make sure the name you have chosen is not a registered trademark or patent. Approved trademark and patent names that exactly match a domain name under “.al” are reserved for the rights holder and cannot be registered by anyone else.
Important! The registrant agrees that if the .al domain is not put into use within a period of 1 (one) year from the date of registration or renewal, the domain may be released and another individual may register and use it.
Important! Declaring false data or submitting forged documents for registration constitutes forgery and/or use of forged documents, offences under articles 186, 189 or 191 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Albania. No domain name is registered with false data.
UpFlare Sh.p.k. is registered with the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Protection of Personal Data and complies with the obligations arising from Law No. 9887 of 10.03.2008 on the protection of personal data.
