19.02.10: The Argentinian registry (NIC.AR) have recently issued an important notice on their website. They are warning registrants of com.ar domains that they must ensure that their contact data associated with their domain names are accurate and up to date, or risk losing those Argentinian domains. It is particularly important for the registrant email address to be valid and working.

For Argentinian business entities it is important that the C.U.I.T. (Código único de identificación tributaria); issued by AFIP is registered. For Argentinian individuals, an Argentinian DNI (Documento Nacional De Identidad) and/or C.U.I.T and/or C.U.I.L (Código Único de Identificación Laboral); issued by AFIP must also be registered.

NIC.AR are stating that discovery of incorrect registrant data (name, address, telephone no. ), use of false names, corporate names missing, etc., could result in the deletion of the registrant, which would automatically delete ALL com.ar domains for that registrant. It is therefore vital to ensure that all Arentinian domains you have, are duly updated with correct and verifiable information. This must be done by the 31 March 2010. You can check the contact information for your Argentinian domains by performing a Whois search at http://www.nic.ar/

Argentinian domains where you use our Local Presence service are fine as the data listed for them is correct and verifiable.

From here you can check availability for +275 top level domains. Have you secured your company name as domain name in the countries you are operating in?
