Marcaria

Our assessment

A real, ICANN-accredited company with a filed corporate record and broad ccTLD coverage, and it will issue a certificate of ownership on request. Two things count against it on .eu. Customers have reported a $20 owner-update fee charged when transferring a trustee-held domain out, applied across .eu, .de, .it, .es and .fr, which lands precisely at the moment you leave and on the step .eu forces you to take. And the group's EU-facing entity, Marcaria.com EU Limited, is registered in London: a UK company has not satisfied the .eu eligibility criteria since Brexit, which makes the naming confusing on the one point that matters. Neither the trustee fee nor the identity of the eligible holder is published.

Restricted TLDs covered

.eu, .de, .fr, .it, .es.

What is checked

Per-TLD fees and five-year totals, the contract terms on surrender and transfer, the legal entity that becomes the registrant of record in each country, non-payment behaviour, and what shows in each registry's public lookup. Figures are published only once verified against the provider's current pricing, with a date. The trust score weighs contract transparency, exit terms and holding structure ahead of price, and is not affected by affiliate arrangements because there are none.

Last updated September 2026. The assessment is editorial and based on the provider's published terms and public register data. Spotted something out of date? Email info@trusteeindex.com.
