Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Committee

The ADR Committee is an independent entity which processes complaints about rights to a domain name or appeals against decisions made by Norid. A complaint must be raised within three years after the domain was registered or transferred.

Norid's task is to guide the two parties and ensure that the documents fulfill the requirements. We are the secretariat for the Committee, but make no recommendations to the complaint handling.

All decisions are archived and published.

Please note that all complaints must be submitted in Norwegian.
