11 known fraudulent websites impersonate this registry
🇮🇪
Ireland
Ship Registry
Ireland’s maritime authority is the Irish Maritime Development Office (IMDO), operating under the Department of Transport. Ireland does not operate an open registry. Ireland’s official government domain is .gov.ie. The .irish top-level domain is a commercial gTLD — it is not a government domain.
How to Verify
Verify the official domain
The IMDO’s official website is at imdo.ie. All genuine Irish government maritime communications originate from .gov.ie domains. The .irish TLD is not a government domain and has been systematically exploited to impersonate Irish authorities.
