Parish Council Domains Helper Service: Guidance now available on GOV.UK

22 January 2025

Parish councils wishing to move over to a .gov.uk domain can now access guidance on the GOV.UK website.  It’s laid out in a step-by-step format, taking the reader all the way through the process, from getting council approval, to choosing your Approved Registrar and what to do when you’re set up.

Hosting the guidance on GOV.UK means that parish councils can access up-to-date information at any time. You don’t need to attend a virtual session with the Parish Council Domains Helper Service team unless you want or need to, even the contact list for the Approved Registrars can be found there.  It’s a one-stop-shop for everything .gov.uk domain.

The Parish Council Domains Helper Service page on our website has been updated to reflect this news.

Any questions regarding the new GOV.UK guidance can be sent to [email protected]
