Familiarize yourself with the domain

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 others right to the name. If you are in doubt, ask your registrar.

Get yourself a personal identifier (PID)
As an individual applicant, you have to get yourself a personal ID (PID). This
ID is a synonym to your official identity number so that you can avoid to give
this to the registrar. You get your PID by submitting your official identity
number into our PID automat. You get your
PID per email the day after you order it. Then you can submit your domain name
application. Ask your registrar if you have questions about the PID
service.

Do you want to protect the domain against transfer?
You can choose to secure the domain with a code on registration. The code prevents the transfer of your domain to a new registrar without your consent. We recommend that an
authentication code is set. Ask your registrar for details.

Legal contact
As a professional applicant you have to decide who shall be the 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 postal address. For private domains, the applicant doubles as the legal contact.

The registrar submits your application
The registrar completes the application and sends it to us. All you need to do is to sign a declaration confirming that you are familiar with and will comply with the domain name policy, and that you are responsible if the registration infringes others right to the name.
