We could ask .ie what this is all about, and how it works:
The .IE is a managed ccTLD and it requires some documentation to prove that the prospective registrant is entitled to register the domain name. IEDR has relaxed the registration rules in the last few years. Many of the SMEs are what is known as sole traders. These are indivudals trading in their own name or with a registered business name. The equivalent US version would be the "doing business as/DBA). A registered business name is registered through the Companies Registrations Office (www.cro.ie) and the registry can look up the number of the registered business name quite quickly. The company number registration number (for Irish companies) can also be checked on the CRO website. The site also explains the other categories. The .IE WHOIS is a thin WHOIS. The registration process has come a long way in the last twenty years and most new registrations in the Irish market would be in .IE rather than the gTLDs. The only competing new gTLD is the .IRISH and that's only around 3K registrations compared to the 300K .IE registrations. The Irish market is quite unusual in that there's a considerable overlap with the Northern Irish and UK markets. The biggest non-Irish ccTLD in the Irish hosting market is actually .UK with about 33K .UK domain names on Irish market hosters.
