In case of a no deal Brexit, all registrants holding .EU domain names “located” in Great Britain and Gibraltar who did not demonstrate their eligibility will be deemed ineligible and their domain names will be withdrawn.
Eligibility requirement: applicants must be holders of a .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk, .net.uk, .plc.uk, or .ltd.uk. After 1 July 2019, any reserved .uk domains that have not been registered will be released into the public domain. This means they can be registered by anyone.
Holders of a .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk, .net.uk, .plc.uk, or .ltd.uk are strongly advised to register the corresponding .UK domain name before 25 June 2019 to limit cybersquatting risks.
In case of a no deal Brexit, all the affected domain names will be revoked on 30 March 2020, and will become available for general registration on the same day.
