.US Domain Registration Requirements
A .US domain has a US-presence requirement. It is not automatically open to any applicant worldwide simply because the name is available.
Who can register?
Eligible applicants include:
- A US citizen or permanent resident
- A person or organization with qualifying US residency or establishment
- A foreign organization with a genuine presence or business nexus in the United States, where the relevant .US requirements are met
A US audience or an attractive available domain name alone does not establish eligibility. The registrant must be able to use a truthful eligibility basis.
What to prepare
Provide the real registrant's name, contact details and appropriate US nexus information. The selected basis should accurately describe the individual or business that will hold the domain.
Before paying, confirm your eligibility and check whether your .US domain is available.
