NOTE: The Public Register Search Service is currently in Beta.

Introduction
The Public Register Search Service (PRSS) allows you to search the register for domain names that are registered to a particular legal entity and/or of a similar name. The PRSS is accessible via a web interface and allows you to search using wildcards. A maximum of 3000 results can be viewed per rolling 24 hours. These results can be viewed in batches.

You can store regular searches as favourites and a history is kept of all searches for quick and easy access.

This service is being launched as a time limited beta service, which means that we are not giving any commitment to continue with the published interface or usage terms. However, we believe that any changes likely to emerge from this beta period will be minor.  As part of the beta service we encourage you to send us feedback on how you find the service and any requests to change the way it works.  We will consider such suggestions seriously.  Barring major problems, the beta service will continue to operate until we launch a full production ready service.

Eligibility
The PRSS is available to everyone based in the EEA. This service is available on a contract only basis subject to the terms and conditions of the contract.

Fees
The PRSS is charged at £400+ VAT per year.

The contract start date will be reset for all beta testers when the PRSS goes live.

How to apply
You can apply for access to the beta PRSS by completing the online application form.

You will also be required to confirm that you accept the Terms and Conditions of the PRSS contract
