This guide concerns domain names with the .se extension.

Preamble

• Domains in .se are managed by Internetstiftelsen i Sverige (IIS), the official body that governs domain names in Sweden.
• They were introduced in 1986 and it was during the 2000s that they gained popularity as their suffix could be used for words like "clo.se", "sen.se", etc.
  • However, a Swedish court rejected the request of the artist Prince who claimed the domain prince.se and which was registered for local use (sale of jams, in relation to the Swedish word "prins", <h2>Change the owner of a <strong>.se</strong> domain</h2>).

To change the owner (or owner) of a .se domain, the procedure defined by the IIS involves filling out a specific form.

In the form, the IIS IDNO (ID Number) field is a key requirement:

• For Swedish citizens: indicate the social security number (Personnummer), 800101-1234 for example,
  • For Swedish companies: use the company registration number (Organisationsnummer) 556123-4567 for example,

For foreign citizens or non-Swedish companies: enter an identification number such as a passport number, an identity card, or an equivalent for your country.

• This is to authenticate the owner and prevent disputes or fraudulent use of the domain. The change can take a few days, depending on how quickly the documents are verified.

Cela sert à authentifier le propriétaire et à prévenir les litiges ou utilisations frauduleuses du domaine. Le changement peut prendre quelques jours, selon la rapidité avec laquelle les documents sont vérifiés.
