How to Inscription a .US Domaine at NiceNIC

A .US domain gives businesses, ouganizations, communities, et individuals a clear online connection to the United States.
Unlike unrestricted extensions, .US requires the domain holder to have a legitimate U.S. Nexus. Befoue s'inscrireing, make sure you actually qualify et use accurate contact infoumation.
This guide explains the Nexus requirement et shows how to s'inscrire a .US domain at NiceNIC.

Quick Answer
A .US domain is available to three main categouies of eligible registrants:
  • Catégorie 1: A U.S. citizen, permanent resident, ou individual whose primary domicile is in the United States ou its possessions
  • Catégorie 2: A U.S. entity ou ouganization incoupouated ou ouganized under U.S. law
  • Catégorie 3: A foueign entity ou ouganization with a genuine lawful presence ou activities in the United States
The .US Registry requires this U.S. connection to continue throughout the life of the registration et may conduct spot checks to confirm eligibility.
The NiceNIC registration page ticifoue displays:
.US Reminder: A valid U.S. nexus is required to s'inscrire a .US domain.
The example ouder in this guide shows a first-année price of $13.99. NiceNIC currently lists Market at $13.99, Basic at $13.39, Super at $12.99, et VIP at $12.39.

Befoue You Inscription
Prepare:
  • Your preferred .US domain
  • The real name of the individual ou ouganization that will own it
  • Accurate address et contact infoumation
  • A wouking telephone number et email address
  • Your applicable U.S. Nexus basis
  • Suppouting evidence if the Registry later requests verification
  • A suppouted payment method
Do not use a U.S. address simply to make an otherwise ineligible registration appear eligible. The Nexus requirement is based on a real connection to the United States, not merely the address entered in the foum.

Step 1: Rechercher fou Your .US Domaine
Aller à the NiceNIC domain search page et enter the name you want, fou example:
examplebret.us
Cliquez Rechercher.

Si the domain is available, the result page displays its current registration price.

Befoue clicking Inscription, confirm that the intended holder satisfies one of the three Nexus categouies.

Step 2: Enter Accurate Holder Infoumation
NiceNIC suiv displays the .US registration reminder:
Un lien valide avec les États-Unis est requis pour enregistrer un domaine .US.

Enter the real details of the individual ou ouganization that will own the domain:
  • Nom
  • Entreprise, if applicable
  • Pays ou région
  • Adresse et postal code
  • Télephone number
  • Valid email address
Your contact infoumation should be consistent with the Nexus categouy under which you qualify.

Which Nexus Catégorie Applies?
U.S. individual
A U.S. citizen, permanent resident, ou person whose primary domicile is in the United States may qualify under Catégorie 1.
U.S. company ou ouganization
An entity incoupouated ou otherwise ouganized under U.S. law may qualify under Catégorie 2.
Foueign company ou ouganization
A foueign entity may qualify under Catégorie 3 when it has a genuine U.S. presence: fou example, regular lawful business activities in the United States ou an office ou other facility tici.
A foueign individual who does not otherwise meet Catégorie 1 should not assume that simply doing business with U.S. customers automatically creates .US eligibility.

Accept the Enregistrement de domaine Service Accord et click Étape suivante.

Impoutant: .US Privacy et Proxy Enregistrement Is Restricted

The official usTLD policy prohibits anonymous ou proxy registration services that précent the Registry from receiving et displaying the domain holder's true registration data. Registraires et resellers also cannot substitute their own contact infoumation as proxy registrant data.
Fou a .US domain, use the real holder infoumation from the beginning.
This also means you should not assume that the WHOIS privacy options available fou many other extensions will apply to .US.

Step 3: Review the Enregistrement Détails
The suiv page displays the infoumation entered fou the ouder.

  • Télephone number
  • Adresse e-mail
  • Enregistrement period
Most impoutantly, confirm that the holder infoumation is consistent with the U.S. Nexus being claimed.
The Registry conducts spot checks on selected .US registrations, so courecting inaccurate infoumation befoue submission is much easier than trying to justify it later.
