.co.uk and .org.uk registrations are "open" .
Actual .uk registrations (which we do not offer) have registration
restrictions.
From the docs:
"It is important to note that some ccTLDs are closed or chartered, meaning
that there are restrictions placed on registering a domain in that space,
while others are less restrictive or open for everyone to register domains
into. The UK registry restricts registrations into their very top level
domain, .uk, to registrants living in the United Kingdom. However, they
offer open registrations in the .org.uk and .co.uk namespaces, meaning that
they can be registered by anyone, regardless of where they live. Other
examples of ccTLD restrictions include; residency in a given country, proof
of business operations and licensing etc.
Tucows' goal is to offer as many TLDs (both ccTLDs and gTLDs) as possible
to our Channel Partners. Where a ccTLD is deemed too restrictive, Tucows
will generally opt not to offer it (as in .uk), but where registration
requirements seem reasonable (as in .co.uk, and .org.uk) we will endeavor
to offer it to our channel."
