Expiry

When does bbc.co.uk expire?

bbc.co.uk's current registration runs until 13 December 2034. Expires in 2997 days.

The owner can renew at any time before then, which moves the date forward by the renewal term. Large brands usually renew years ahead.

  1. Registered
  2. Grace period 30 days
  3. Redemption 60 days
  4. Released

What happens if it isn't renewed?

An unrenewed .co.uk name passes through fixed phases before it is released: a 30-day grace period in which the owner can still renew at the normal price, then a 60-day redemption period in which recovery costs a fee on top of renewal. The durations are the .co.uk registry's published figures.

When could it drop?

Only if it is not renewed. The earliest it could be released is 13 March 2035, if every phase runs its full length.
