Domes number request

For a new station, a DOMES number request should be directed to the IERS TRF section

Mail :

by filling in a DOMES INFORMATION FORM (DIF) available HERE or by filling in and submitting it automatically HERE from the web site.

The DOMES numbers are assigned by the IERS ITRS Product Center, hosted by the Geodesy Research Laboratory (LAREG), IGN France. Neighboring points are clustered into a site. The current rule is that all points which could be linked by a co-location survey (up to 30 km) should be included into a single site of the IERS network having a single DOMES site number.
