Register a domain

Find a registrar
All domain applicants must have a registrar. You can choose from all the registrars in the list of .no registrars.

Familiarize yourself with the domain name policy for .no
You must comply with the domain name policy for .no in both your registration and your use of the domain. Pay special attention to Section 14, about the applicant's responsibilities and duties. If you have any questions, ask your registrar.

Choose a domain name
In principle, you are free to choose a domain name. However, you cannot choose a name which is in use by other organizations, or a name which is prohibited or reserved for various reasons. Please note that it is your responsibility as an applicant to ensure that the domain name does not contravene the domain name policy or infringe the right of others to the name. If you are in doubt, ask your registrar.

Ask the registrar to fill in and send the application form for you
The registrar fills in the application and submits it to Norid. All you need to do is to sign a declaration form confirming that you are familiar with and will comply with the domain name policy for .no, and that you are responsible if the registration infringes the right of others to the name.

You have to choose a legal contact for your domain name. She or he has to be employed at or be directly affiliated to your company. The legal contact must have a Norwegian address. If you are not sure, ask your registrar.

Wait for a reply
It usually takes 1-3 working days for Norid to process the application. The reply goes to the registrar. The registrars' processing period may vary, so ask about when you can expect the reply.

Check the details that have been registered
Congratulations! You are now a .no domain name holder. You should now go to the whois database for .no and check that the details that the registrar has registered for your domain are in fact correct. It is also very important that you keep the information up to date. The information creates the basis for further follow-up of your domain. In the worst case, any errors here may cause Norid to send you a warning that your domain may be deleted. Remember that the domain name and the information related to it are your responsibility. Good luck!
