# Personal Identification for .EE Domain Registration

When registering a .EE domain, a **personal identification** process is required.
Zone uses for that [**eeID**](https://www.internet.ee/eeid/eeid-service), with the identification performed by **Veriff**.

After ordering the domain, you will receive a **personal identification link** to start the process.

# Starting the identification process

#### 1. Select “Document Verification”

On the opened page, choose **Document Verification**.

- **First Name**
- **Last Name**

**NB:** The name **must match exactly** the one on your official identity document.

#### 3. Continue verification on your phone

There are two options to continue the verification on your phone:

**QR Code**

- Scan the QR code displayed on the screen with your phone

**SMS Link**

- Enter your **phone number**
- You will receive an **SMS with a link** to continue the verification on your phone![](https://www.zone.ee/static/sites/5/step-3-EN.png)

# Identification process on the phone

Your phone will guide you through the following steps:

1. Take a **photo of the front of your ID document**
2. Take a **photo of the back of your ID document**
3. Take a **selfie (photo of yourself)**

The system will automatically verify your identity. The result will appear on your phone screen. Once the identification is successful you can close the verification windows on both your phone and computer. Zone will automatically receive the verification result and your domain order will then proceed to processing.

# If the domain registrant is a company

If the .EE domain is registered by a **company**, the identification link is **created by default to the administrative contact (admin contact)**.

However, the identification must be performed by a **person authorized to sign on behalf of the company**.
After the identification, please send **a company registry extract** to <info@zone.ee>, verifying that the person completing the identification is authorized to represent the company.

#### If the a**dministrative** contact represents the company

If you want the **administrative contact** listed on the order to act on behalf of the company, you need to send us [a power of attorney](https://www.zone.ee/help/en/kb/authorizing-the-ee-domain-application/). The completed and signed POA should be sent to **<info@zone.ee>**

#### Common issues during identification

The identification process may fail for the following reasons:

- **The name is entered incorrectly in the domain order**

Incorrect:
**Last name First name/First names**

Correct:
**First name/First names Last name**

- **The name is entered incorrectly during the identification process**

Enter the name **exactly as it appears on the identity document**.

- **Incorrect date of birth in the domain order**

The date of birth must **match the date shown on the identity document.**
