.IT is the official country code Top-Level-Domain of Italy. The registration of a domain name in the ccTLD .it is permitted only to persons who have citizenship, residence or a registered office in the countries of the European Economic Area (EEA), the Vatican City State, the Republic of San Marino, the Swiss Confederation and
in the United Kingdom.

{{warnbox|If the Registrant is an individual, the owner contact and the administrative contact must coincide!}}

Only individual and juridical persons residing in or belonging to a EU Member State can register domain names under the ccTLD "it".
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Esthonia, Finland, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden. For customers of any other country, we offer a Trustee Service.
 
If the registrant is an individual, the .IT PIN has to be
* The registrant's fiscal code (for Italian citizens consisting of exactly 16 characters and numbers) or
* the number of an identity document (for citizens resident in other EU states, where there is no equivalent individual fiscal code).

If the registrant is an organization, the .IT PIN has to be
* The company's fiscal code (for Italian companies consisting of exactly 11 digits) or
* The company's VAT number

{{warnbox|Please remark that the domain registration fee is non-refundable. That means that if the domain registration cannot be finished (e.g. in case of permanently failed DNS checks) the domain will be deleted after 30 days without any refunds.}}

==== Italian Province data ====
The registry requires the 2 character province code for addresses within Italy. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Italy#List Wikipedia list of Italian Provinces]

=== Domain registration confirmation ===
Since summer of 2013 and after the latest roll-out of the NIC.IT guidelines (http://www.nic.it/create-and-change.it/regulations-and-guidelines), the IT registry requires the registrar to send out a confirmation email to the registrant, in order to inform him about the domain registration. This obligation is part of the EU Ecommerce Guideline of 2000 resp. 2005 and as each IT registrar is obliged to send out these emails.

Please find below an e-Mail template for individuals as well as for organizations:
 
{{Template:Pdf|IT-individual.pdf|For individual}}
 
{{Template:Pdf|IT-organization.pdf|For organization}}

=== Trustee Service ===
Depending on the TLD, the Trustee Service will be added to the existing contacts, or replaces one or more of the WHOIS contacts. Once replaced the Trustee acts on behalf of the registrant and thereby makes a registration of that specific TLD possible. It can be activated using the following parameter:
<pre>
X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1 ''enable our trustee service''
</pre>
In order to mitigate legal risk of our Trustee, we validate all .IT domain registration requests which utilize our .IT Trustee Service. Registration of .IT domains using our Trustee Service will stay in "requested" status until validated by the Trustee lawyer. Please note that '''Validation can take up to 24 hours during a business day and up to 72 hours over weekends.'''
<be>

=== Nameserver Checks ===

{{Warnbox|PLEASE NOTE: The registry performs nameserver checks, therefore, domains are not activated until the domain's nameservers are successfully checked by the registry.}}

Nameservers for a .IT domain have to be correctly configured before the registration request succeeds, otherwise registration will fail. 
Please check that the following requirements are met:

<li> there must be at least 2 (two) authoritative nameservers for the domain name, and they must correspond exactly to those found in the registration of the domain name
<li> the IP addresses of hosts in the registration of the domain name must correspond to those actually associated with them in the DNS
<li> the domain name cannot be associated with a CNAME record
<li> the name of the nameserver specified in the SOA record for the domain name cannot be a CNAME
<li> the names of the authoritative nameservers for the domain name cannot be CNAMEs
<li> if there is an MX registration it cannot be associated with a CNAME
<li> all hosts in the registration must be authoritative for the domain name registered
 

The registry offers a validation tool to check the nameservers. https://dns-check.nic.it/

=== Transfer ===
There is a different transfer procedure depending on if the domain name is currently registered with a REGISTRAR (EPP system) or with a MAINTAINER (older registration system).
To see if a domain is currently registered with a REGISTRAR or with a MAINTAINER simply have a look at the whois:
<pre>
mnt-by: <REGISTRARNAME>-REG --> Domain is registered with a REGISTRAR
mnt-by: <REGISTRARNAME>-MNT --> Domain is registered with a MAINTAINER
</pre>
==== Transfers from a REGISTRAR ====
{{#var:TRANSFERSENTENCE}}

==== Data management policy violation ====
The registry does contact validation at the time of transfer. If the contact handles at the current registrar has missing details, the requesting account will need to provide new contacts with the transfer order to satisfy the requirements.

Possible error message:
<pre>
504 Data management policy violation; Request for domain references an uncompleted registrant. A mandatory field is empty or has a wrong value.
</pre>

=== Transfer Notes ===
{{infobox|Usually you can request an .IT domain to be transferred simply by requesting a transfer for the domain with the TransferDomain command in our system. Our system will determine the current registrants PIN automatically.

Sometimes the PIN can not be correctly determined by the system due to errors in the NIC.it database. In that case you will have to state the current registrant's PIN manually in the auth code field or the AUTH parameter.}}

=== Ownerchange ===

Overview which registrant contact elements can only be changed through a TradeDomain command:

In order to assign a new registrant contact handle to a .IT domain sometimes an update (ModifyDomain command) is required and sometimes a trade (TradeDomain command):

{| class="wikitable"
|''' registrant contact handle element(s) to be changed '''||''' required operation '''
|-
| name (if org exists and remains unchanged)|| update
|-
| name (if org does not exist)|| '''trade'''
|-
| org (if org is identical to name and is being removed)|| update
|-
| org (to a non-blank value)|| '''trade'''
|-
| street|| update
|-
| zip|| update
|-
| city|| update
|-
| state|| update
|-
| country|| '''trade'''
|-
| phone|| update
|-
| fax|| update
|-
| email|| update
|}

In the special case that the organization and the name of the current registrant are identical it is possible to remove the organization with an update operation (new contact handle with only a name that matches the old name and organization).

'''X-IT-PIN'''

If only the VAT ID (X-IT-PIN) should be changed this can be done through an update operation (ModifyDomain). If also the registrant name or registrant organization should be changed please check the above table for the required operation.

=== Renewal Process ===

{{#var:RENEWALSENTENCE}}
Alternatively, requesting a renewal via the control panel should complete a PayDomainRenewal command and the Paid-until date will be increased by 1 year.

= Addons =

{{#var:DOMAINADDONTABLE}}

= RegistrarOC =

{{#var:REGISTRAROCSENTENCE}}

{{#var:CATEGORY}}

=== Remove DNSSEC ===
If DNSSEC is not enabled for the accreditation, the secDNS-remove-all parameter will not work as expected, but the registry allows registrars to flush the DS record for the domain by submitting an update to remove and re-add the same nameservers to the domain.
