About .it

The .it domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Italy. It is managed by IIT CNR, the Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the National Research Council of Italy, based in Pisa. Registration is open to individuals and organizations worldwide, but registrants must provide a valid Italian tax code or VAT number, or a local administrative contact. There are no strict residency requirements, though domain holders must comply with Italian law. The registry operates via nic.it and offers a standard WHOIS service. The .it zone was registered on 23 December 1987, placing it among the earliest ccTLDs on the internet.

Eligibility & restrictions

A valid Italian tax code (codice fiscale) or VAT number is required, or a local administrative contact in Italy.
