The Emirates Web Hosting Services (Etisalat) in the UAE has allowed the registration of domain names. The process requires:

1)Letter of authorization on the applicant's letterhead signed and stamped by the applicant addressed to the person filing the application, requesting the registration of its domain name in the UAE.

2)Copy of the UAE trademark registration certificate of the domain name.

The certificate of registration for the trademark, to be used as a domain name, is essential and will entitle the applicant to have only domain name registration without web hosting. The hosting will be allowed when the applicant starts a business concern locally and is entered in the Commercial Register. For more information kindly contact our Emirates Office in Sharjah.
