What You Need to Know About .au Priority Renewal Applications
If you applied for a .au direct domain during the priority allocation period, you may need to renew your application each year until the name is resolved. Here’s what you should know.
What Is a Priority Renewal?
When multiple parties are eligible for the same .au name, the domain remains contested. Each applicant must renew annually until one party withdraws or all agree on allocation.
Why Renewal Matters
- If you don’t renew, your application lapses and you lose your claim.
- Domains remain inactive until resolved, but renewal keeps your spot in line.
- auDA rules apply to all contested names — no exceptions.
How to Renew
Your registrar will send a renewal invoice before the due date. Pay this on time to maintain your application.
Next Steps
Not sure if you’re eligible? Check our .au eligibility guide. Already registered a .au? Learn how domain renewals work.
