.DK is the TLD for Denmark, and is regulated by the dk-hostmaster.dk Registry.

Important: Registrants of DK names can obtain a User ID and password from DK-Hostmaster and manage their names directly at the registry; however, they should be strongly discouraged from doing so. Any actions or modifications that registrants want to perform on their names should be done through their Reseller . DK-Hostmaster and Tucows maintain separate databases, and any changes made at DK-Hostmaster by the registrant can result in serious discrepancies.

In particular, the registrant should never change the billing contact of their name; this should always be done through Tucows. Changing the billing contact effectively transfers the name away from Tucows’ management. If this happens unintentionally, the only way to rectify it is to transfer it back.

Make sure to submit 100% accurate registrant contact details when registering or updating a .DK domain name. The registry will send out a welcome letter by postal mail to each .DK registrant. In case this letter doesn’t reach its recipient and is returned to the registry because of incorrect address details, the domain name is put on hold and may eventually be deleted by the registry.

.DK is an open registry; you do not have to be a resident or business operator to register a .DK domain. Organizations are required to enter their VAT ID when registering a .DK domain.

Servers must be REGISTERED with the registry, DK-Hostmaster, by whoever is authoritative for them (registrant, hosting co., etc). Servers are registered at https://www.dk-hostmaster.dk/english/technical-administration/dns-server-contacts/register-name-server/.

By default, all .DK domains are set to Auto-Renew, and the domain automatically renews 34 days prior to the expiration date.

• OpenSRS provides 24/7 Reseller Support via telephone or email. Visit our Contact page for complete details.
• Accepted payment methods along with terms and conditions are available here.

Registrar transfers require the current registrant’s DK-Hostmaster User ID and password to be provided.  This process requires the reseller to obtain this ID and password from the registrant to submit to OpenSRS otherwise the transfer will be cancelled.  

1. Registrant requests transfer
2. OpenSRS requests confirmation from registrant
3. If the registrant confirms, OpenSRS requests current .DK registrant's ID and password from reseller; if not, transfer is cancelled
4. At this point a trade can be made if registrant wishes (and new owner validated), otherwise transfer will be completed

Changing ownership of .DK domains follows the process outlined in Transferring domains and changing domain ownership.
