Domain Trustee Service

Register country domains that require local presence.

Some registries ask for a local address, entity, DNS contact, or verified representative before a country-code domain can be registered. SoxDomains helps you review the requirement and add trustee service when it is available.

Trustee service helps customers satisfy local-presence requirements when a registry does not allow a standard foreign registrant to register directly.

Trustee service FAQ

Do I need trustee service for every domain?

No. Most extensions are open. Trustee service applies only when the registry requires local presence and SoxDomains can provide a supported service path.

What does the displayed trustee or local-service price cover?

It is a separate service charge that may cover trustee service, local presence, local contact arrangements, document review or coordination, manual preparation or modification of registration data, provider or registry processing, and special administration of the domain. The services needed depend on the extension and the registration. A charge may therefore apply when the registry does not require a trustee but the registration still requires manual processing, data changes or administrative handling. The service category and price presented for the order do not, by themselves, mean that the registry requires a trustee. The applicable charge is shown separately from the domain registration price before payment.

Can SoxDomains confirm the requirement before I order?

Yes. Contact us when a country domain is strategic or time-sensitive, and we can review the local-presence path before you submit the order.

Why do some domains require local presence?

Country-code and regional registries set their own eligibility rules. Some require a local address, citizen or company connection, administrative contact, DNS contact, or other registry-specific proof before registration can complete.

How does account control work with trustee?

The registrant structure, local contact role, and available account operations vary by extension and are confirmed before registration.

Is trustee service the same as WHOIS privacy?

No. WHOIS privacy is an optional contact privacy feature when a registry supports it. Trustee service is an eligibility or local-presence service for extensions that cannot be registered normally without a qualifying local role.

Can I add trustee service after registration?

Usually it should be reviewed before registration or transfer, because the registry may need the qualifying local information during submission. If you already own the domain, contact support before making registrant changes.

Can trustee rules change?

Yes. Registry policies can change by extension, country, and registrant type. SoxDomains reviews the requirement during order processing so the final registration path matches the current registry rules.

What happens if a trustee service is not available?

If SoxDomains cannot provide a supported trustee path for an extension, we will review alternatives such as using your own local entity, choosing another extension, or opening a support request for manual guidance.
