To register a .NO domain, the registrant must be an organization registered in Norway or an adult living in Norway, with a Norwegian postal address. If you do not meet these requirements, you can register through the DNSimple trustee service.
Who can register a .NO domain?
Without the trustee service, the registrant must have a valid postal address in Norway, and:
-
Organizations must be registered in Norway in the Brønnøysund Register Centre (Enhetsregisteret) as an approved organization type and use a Norwegian postal address. An organization may register up to 100 domain names under .no per owner record, subject to registry limits.
-
Individuals must be 18 or older, registered in the National Registry with a Norwegian national identity number, and have a Norwegian postal address. Private individuals may hold a limited number of .no names per registry policy; see the registry site for individuals for current limits and geographical categories.
If you do not meet these requirements, select the trustee service when you register. It is a recurring yearly service, and its fee is shown on the registration form.
The registry may verify registrations (for example by phone or documented proof) to confirm the request is legitimate.
Depending on whether the registrant is a natural person or an organization, you provide one of the following with the registration or registrant change:
-
Person identifier: format
N.PRI.XXXXXXXX, issued by the registry. Request a person identifier through Norid’s person ID service. The national identity number itself is not used as the person identifier in the registration extension. - Organization number: the organization’s number as registered in Enhetsregisteret (verify at brreg.no).
How does phone verification work?
The registrar requires phone verification for new registrations. The registrar will call the registrant to confirm their details, and the registrant has 48 hours to answer and complete verification. If verification is not completed within 48 hours, the domain will be suspended. The registrant can then contact the registrar to complete verification and restore the domain.
What else should I know about .NO domains?
- Name servers: must be set up before you register the domain.
- Registration period: one year at a time.
- WHOIS privacy: not available.
