Can I register a .de domain without living in Germany?

Hello, I want to register a .de domain but I'm not German and I don't live in Germany. Now I discover that the person on the Administrative Contact must be domiciled in Germany. What can I do? If buy Domain Privacy for this domain, can I avoid this?

Thanks

 

As far as I know you have to live in Germany to register and hold a .de.

 

Thank you luffo but this question has already been solved:

some registrar provides the contact details ( godaddy etc ) so u can use such services.

but if cctld rules say its only for that country its best to avoid

example video.us was taken from the non-us domainer who got that domain before and its deleted

 

few registrar provide German administrative contact during the registration process.

 

Being in the market with godaddy i can happily say that you can register the .de extension through my site (found in my signature) without having to be a resident of Germany.

We work alongside godaddy, so offer you the same great service at a lower cost

And the domain will be registered on my name? What contact details will you put there?
