Punktum.dk is changing the way .dk domains are handled. From now on all domains must be renewed and managed through a registrar, as is the case for other domain types such as .com and .se.

You can therefore no longer renew your domain directly with Punktum dk.

¶When does the change take effect?

From 1 July 2026 new .dk domains can only be registered through a registrar, and renewals can thereafter only be done one year at a time. If you have a domain that is currently registered directly with Punktum.dk, you will need to choose a registrar from that date.

No later than 30 June 2028 all .dk domains must be transferred to a registrar – after that, no one can manage .dk domains directly with Punktum dk any longer.

¶What does this mean for me as a domain owner?

You simply need to choose which registrar will manage your .dk domain going forward. Once you have selected a registrar, all renewal, DNS and support matters will be handled there, on a single unified platform.

¶Can I choose Simply.com as my registrar?

Yes, you can easily do this. It is 100 % free to transfer your .dk domain to Simply.com, whether you use our name‑servers or not. You retain full control of your domain and can continue exactly as before.

¶What if I already have Simply.com as provider?

If you do not already have us as your registrar, you can go to the control panel under Administration and choose to transfer your domain to Simply.com management. It only takes a few seconds and is completely free.

¶How do I transfer my domain to Simply.com?

You can start a free transfer of your .dk domain here: https://www.simply.com/order/?id=dnsservice

Once the order is complete you will receive an email from us with instructions on how to finalise the domain transfer to us.

¶What if I have DNS/name‑servers elsewhere?

You can still transfer the domain to Simply.com and use us as your .dk registrar while keeping your existing name‑servers.
The transfer does not affect the operation of your domain – you simply get consolidated administration in one place.

¶Do I still need to use MitID?

Yes. Punktum.dk remains responsible for ID verification of .dk domains. You will therefore still need to confirm your identity with MitID when making a transfer or other changes.

¶What about VID service?

VID service at Punktum dk is no longer particularly relevant, as transferring a .dk domain in the future will require an Auth‑Id, and that Auth‑Id secures the domain. We generally recommend not using or paying for VID‑service.
