Register a .se domain

Register a .se domain — open worldwide since 2009, still verified by Sweden's own internet foundation. .se is Sweden's official country-code domain, run by Internetstiftelsen (IIS), the Swedish Internet Foundation. Registration has been open worldwide since IIS liberalized the rules in 2009 — no Swedish residency, citizenship, or local presence is required — but every registrant, wherever they're based, must supply a valid ID number (an organization number for companies, or a personal ID/passport number for individuals) so IIS can verify who controls the domain.

$34.90/yr Renews at the same price. No tricks. Privacy free

Who picks .se?

E-commerce and service businesses selling directly to customers in Sweden
Nordic/Swedish market entrants (foreign companies expanding into Sweden) who want to signal local presence
Swedish startups and companies wanting a domain that clearly ties their brand to Sweden

What it signals

Pros

Open worldwide registration since IIS's 2009 policy reform — no Swedish residency, citizenship, or local presence needed
The ID-verification step (personal ID or org number on file with IIS) is exactly what makes .se read as trustworthy to Swedish shoppers, not a hurdle to route around
Two-letter code in continuous use since the 1980s, so it carries decades of familiarity in the Swedish market
Renewal price holds steady year over year at Modusdom, unlike registrars that discount year one and raise it later
SPF/DKIM/DMARC set up as part of onboarding, so a .se address is deliverable to Swedish inboxes from launch

Watch-outs

Not a well-known domain hack or short-word opportunity in English, so appeal is narrower outside Sweden
Registrants must submit an ID number (personal ID/passport or company registration number) to IIS, an extra verification step compared to open TLDs like .com
Two-letter ccTLDs can be pricier at some registrars than gTLDs, though Modusdom keeps the renewal flat

Registry restrictions

No residency or local-presence requirement — registration has been open worldwide since IIS's 2009 policy change. The registry does require every registrant to supply a verifiable ID number: an organization number for companies, or a personal ID/passport number for individuals.

Examples of .se domains in the wild

Common questions about .se domains

How much does a .se domain cost?

A .se domain is $34.90 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $34.90 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.

Does a .se domain renew at the same price?

Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .se stays $34.90/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.

Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .se domain?

Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .se domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.

Can I transfer an existing .se domain to Modusdom?

Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.

Is a .se domain right for my business?

Because .se has been openly registrable since 2009 yet is still administered directly by the Swedish government-backed Internet Foundation, it reads as a deliberate, verified claim to a Swedish presence rather than a default choice — the kind of domain a Swedish shopper checks for before trusting an unfamiliar retailer. It is a strong fit for: E-commerce and service businesses selling directly to customers in Sweden; Nordic/Swedish market entrants (foreign companies expanding into Sweden) who want to signal local presence; Swedish startups and companies wanting a domain that clearly ties their brand to Sweden.
