Domain Local Presence Agreement, local contact for domains, domain local address
In several countries a local presence for a domain registration is required. A local address for the domain registrant is required in countries like Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands. Often it is the administrative contact who needs to be situated in the country where the domain is applied for. European Domain Centre offers local domain contact in more than 40 countries. See the complete domain local contact list below in the column to the right. Our domain Local Presence Agreements (LPA) have been created with local legal offices. In this case you as the client authorize us to be the local domain contact. Alternatively you can use a local business partner as the local domain contact, however make sure to make a legal document to ensure you the domain ownership.
