What you can apply for?

You apply for a domain name for your institution. The domain name must represent the whole of, central parts of, or a natural abbreviation of the institution's actual name.

As a rule, you cannot apply to register domain names which do not have something to do with the institution's own name. Exceptions can be made here if the institution is known under another name in the outside world. The applicant must provide evidence of this to Norid when it submits the application in the normal way.
