The .ae TLD is the country-code top-level domain for the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Originally delegated in 1992, it is managed by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) through its .ae Domain Administration (.aeDA). It is widely used by businesses, government entities, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations within the UAE, with restricted second-level domains such as .co.ae, .net.ae, .gov.ae, and .sch.ae to ensure local relevance and compliance.
Registration is restricted to entities with a presence in the UAE. Second-level domains like .co.ae and .net.ae require a valid UAE trade license, trademark registration, or official affiliation. Exact match, acronym, or close connection to the registrant’s legal name or trademark is required. Unrestricted registrations under .ae are permitted only if they do not conflict with reserved second-level domains.

The .ae domain was originally delegated to UUNET in 1992. In 1995, administration was transferred to Etisalat via its UAE Network Information Center (UAEnic). On January 23, 2008, IANA officially redelegated .ae to the UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), which later became the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA). This redelegation ensured local oversight and governance in alignment with international best practices for ccTLDs.
The .ae TLD serves a specific purpose in the domain ecosystem, providing users with clear context about the websites using this extension.
The .ae TLD is commonly used for the following purposes:
Registrants must provide proof of a legal presence in the UAE. For .co.ae or .net.ae: valid UAE trade license, trademark registration, or affiliation with a licensed entity. For .gov.ae: official government entity status. For .sch.ae or .ac.ae: accredited educational institution. Administrative contact must be an authorized representative of the entity.
The .ae TLD is available for registration through accredited domain registrars.
