Updates and releases

It’s here: .madrid!

The .madrid launch is underway! Obviously, .madrid domains are for Madrid, the capital of Spain.

Order of priority for .madrid

The launch of .madrid will take place in several simultaneous release phases between July 16 and October 3, 2019.

Domain names will be awarded at the end of this period according to the following priority:

  1. Sunrise: for those with a trademark registered with TMCH.
  2. Local brands: for those who own a Spanish brand or a geographical indication registered before July 5, 2019
  3. Local Entities: for organizations headquartered or established in the Madrid region

Gandi will soon be accredited for .madrid

Gandi’s accreditation for .madrid is in progress. However, it’s still possible to register a .madrid domain during the priority registration period. Each order will be saved and then sent to the registry prior to October 3, 2019, the final date for priority registrations. Since the .madrid registry is not using the “first-come, first-served” principle, there’s no penalty for submitting registrations later.

N.B.: The “Local Brand” and “Local Entity” categories are not available from our website. If you would like to register in these categories, please contact our Customer care team.
