We study a quasisymmetric version of the classical Koebe uniformization theorem in the context of Ahlfors regular metric surfaces. In particular, we prove that an Ahlfors 2-regular metric surface X homeomorphic to a finitely connected domain in the standard 2-sphere is quasisymmetrically equivalent to a circle domain if and only if X is linearly locally connected and its completion is compact. We also give a counterexample in the countably connected case.
