About Norid

Norid runs the registry for Norwegian domain names. All domains directly within .no are registered with us. In addition to processing applications, we develop the domain name policy according to the needs of the society. We are also responsible for the technical operation and development of the services. In addition we handle other national tasks naturally related to our core activities.

In order to develop and adapt the rules for allocating domain names, we stay in touch with different stakeholders. We also take social responsibility by working to keep the domain name system reliable and robust, and to ensure that it is governed in an open and democratic way.

The service is regulated by the Domain Name Regulations and is supervised by the Norwegian Post and Telecommunications Authority. Norid is not a public administrative agency, and the allocation of domain names is based on private law rules. We are a neutral party, and the business is run non-profit. Norid is a part of UNINETT.
