With help of The Swedish Internet Foundation's contact search service, you can find information about the domain name you were looking for. The feature is intended to look up information about specific domain names and its holders and retrieve the results from the WHOIS protocol.
Contact search
The result of contact searches on internetstiftelsen.se may not be used for commercial purposes. Downloading information about several domain names in order to set up your own database is not allowed
All searches are logged with information about from where the search was made. If there are too many searches on a contact ID, the IP address behind it is blocked from further searching
The following rules apply to contact ID searches:
- Daytime (08:00 - 17:00): 10 searches per hour
- Other times (17.00 - 08.00): 5 searches per hour
Correcting incomplete or incorrect contact information
If you believe that the contact information for a particular contact is incomplete or incorrect, you can contact us at registry@internetstiftelsen.se. We will then check the information and request a correction if required. If, on the other hand, you want to update your own contact information shown in WHOIS (see more info below), you should first contact your reseller (registrar) and request a correction. If you are unsure which reseller you have, you can easily use the search function below.
Find your customer service
The Swedish Internet Foundation has no common customer service for domain name holders. For questions about a registered domain name, contact the customer service at your current retailer. To get the contact information, enter your domain name below and click on "Search".
Results are retrieved from WHOIS
The result of contact searches on internetstiftelsen.se is taken from the WHOIS protocol, which is a web and terminal based tool to find registration details for a .se or .nu domain name. For example, it may be when the domain was registered and which registrar the domain is under.
The Swedish Internet Foundation's main purpose with WHOIS is to provide information on holders and contact persons to ensure the administration and technical operation of the .se and .nu top-level domains, taking personal privacy into account. It is also a tool to find out if a domain name is available for registration or not.
The results may not be used for commercial purposes. The function is intended to look up information about specific .se and .nu domain names and their holders. Downloading information about several domain names to set up your own database is not allowed.
All searches are logged with information about from where the search was made. If there are too many searches on a contact ID, the IP address behind it is blocked from further searching.

Free - is the domain name available?
Free is a web-based search tool that is used to find out if a domain name is available or not. Given a search string, Free responds with "occupied" or "free" depending on whether the domain name is registered or not.
You can reach the .se domain tool at the following link: http://free.iis.se/free?q=example.se where you replace "example.se" with the domain you want to check. Similarly, you can use http://free.iis.nu/free?q=example.nu to control .nu domains.
The "Free" tool is identical to the DAS (Domain Availability Service) service, which is also provided by other Registry agencies.
