Why is your .hu domain registration waiting in progress?

After successfully paying for a new .hu domain name, its status in your client area may remain as "Registration in Progress". This is completely normal and is part of the official Hungarian Domain Registry (ISzT / domain.hu) verification procedure.

In most cases, the registration cannot proceed until you complete the required two-factor identity and contact confirmation sent by the central registry.

1. Check for the confirmation email from domain.hu

As soon as your order is processed, the central Hungarian Registry automatically sends a confirmation email to the administrative contact email address you provided during the order:

• Sender: confirmation@domain.hu
• Subject: Information regarding .hu domain registration / verification
• Action required: Click the unique confirmation link in the email to verify your registrant data and factor authentication.

2. How does two-factor verification work?

To protect domain owners and prevent fraudulent registrations, the Hungarian Registry uses multi-factor verification (email and SMS/phone factors).

1. Open the email sent from confirmation@domain.hu and click the verification link.
2. If prompted, enter the SMS verification code sent to your registered mobile phone number.
3. Review and confirm your registrant details and accept the registration terms.

Once you complete these steps, the registry marks your verification as completed and automatically continues the registration process.

3. What happens after confirmation?

• The domain enters the official delegation phase (sent to the .hu DNS zone).
• Zone reloads in the Hungarian registry occur periodically throughout the day. Once the domain is added to the zone, our system synchronizes the status and marks your service as Active.
• DNS propagation worldwide usually takes between 1 and 4 hours after zone delegation.

4. Troubleshooting and Tips

• Check your Spam or Junk folder: Automated messages from confirmation@domain.hu can sometimes land in the Spam, Junk, or Promotions folder. If you cannot find it, search for messages from domain.hu.
• Confirmation deadline: You must confirm your details within the deadline specified in the email (typically 14 to 30 days). If the confirmation is not completed in time, the registry automatically cancels the registration request.
• Incorrect email or phone number: If you made a typo in the email address or phone number when placing your order, please open a support ticket immediately so our team can update your registrant data and resend the confirmation request.
