I am looking for a domain name registrant. Where can I look it up?
The Whois is an easy-to-use tool for checking the availability of a .nl domain name. If the domain name is already taken, you can see who has registered it.
On the page looking up a domain name you will find more information about what a domain name is, how the Whois works and how the privacy of personal data is protected. Alternatively, you can go straight to look for a domain name via the Whois.
I would like to transfer my domain name to another registrar. What is the procedure?
To get your domain name transferred, you need the token (unique ID number) for your domain name. Your existing registrar has the token and is obliged to give it to you within five days, if you ask for it. The procedure for changing your registrar is described on the page transferring your domain name.
The details registered about me/my company are incorrect or out of date. How can I get them updated?
To update the contact details associated with your domain name, you need to contact your registrar. Read more about updating contact details.
Why is my domain name in quarantine?
When a domain name is cancelled, we aren't told the reason, so we can't tell you. You'll need to ask your registrar. The advantage of quarantine is that, if a name's cancelled by mistake, you can always get it back.
One common reason is that the contract between you and your registrar says you've got to renew the registration every year. If you haven't set up automatic renewal and you don't renew manually, the registration will expire.

Over the last six months, use of the Simplerinvoicing electronic invoicing standard has increased sharply. At the start of the year, two hundred organisations were using Simplerinvoicing (FULL) for their electronic invoicing. The number now is more than 2,600! A monthly average of about 200,000 invoices are sent using Simplerinvoicing.
Use is set to rise further in the period ahead, following the Dutch government's decision to require suppliers to support e-invoicing by 1 January 2017.
Simplerinvoicing is a network of software suppliers and e-invoicing service providers that enables the direct exchange of e-invoices between ERP software packages and e-invoicing services. Thanks to Simplerinvoicing, it will soon be possible for any business to send invoices to any other from an ERP/accounting software program or via an e-invoicing service provider. SIDN has managed Simplerinvoicing since 2015. In that capacity, we participate at the strategic level and undertake various operational tasks for the Simplerinvoicing Foundation.
