List of registration applications
The registry publishes the list of names for which a registration application has been submitted and which are being assessed for 20 days. During this period, other applicants may apply for the same name. Furthermore, any issues in relation to the submitted registration application can be reported to the registry.
List of applications for domain names under scrutiny
The registry publishes the applications that have passed the initial evaluation for 20 days.
The list is in principle updated every Tuesday (2 pm). However, there may be a delay during public holidays.
Other registration applications for the same domain name may be submitted during the publication period to an accredited registrar.
It is also possible to notify the registry's address domainnames@bakom.admin.ch of any problem in relation to the submitted registration application.
Once the time limit of 20 days has expired and no competing registration applications or comments have been received, the domain name can then be assigned in principle within a period of 3 days. The registrar is informed of the assignment so that it can confirm it to its client.
