It's also worth noting .de don't allow foreigners to own their domains, in opposition of most other nation tdls. I won't considered them as an example.

- weinzierl 8y agoThat‘s interesting, I didn‘t know that. Fully agree that they are not a good example. My last paragraph was to explain how pointless this privacy theater is anyway, considering that every website owner is required to give out much more info in the imprint.
- hartator 8y agoYes, you need to submit German driver license, German utility bills, and things in the like. We were working on localizing one French website to a German version, and just ended using .eu as the German site.
- weinzierl 8y agoThis makes me sad. I don‘t think I had ever had to do this but I always used a German postal address and German bank account. Also my last .de domain registration is a few years ago, so maybe they handle this stricter now. Anyway, if you have any questions regarding domain registration in Germany or which registrars worked well for me, feel free to contact me, my details are in my profile.
- hartator 8y agoSure, thanks for your proposal, appreciate it, we won't probably do business in Germany anytime soon though.
- ptman 8y agoI have registered a .de for a Finnish company. No problem at all via gandi.net. It would be weird if an EU country could limit registration like that. .no I believe is restricted, but not an EU country.
