About the .BA domain
What is the .BA domain?
The registration policy clearly distinguishes between holder types: companies from any country in the world can register a .ba domain with no local presence required, as long as they provide a valid VAT number (if European) or a company registration number (if from outside the European Union). Individuals, however, must provide proof of local presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina to register the domain in their name. The regulations also expressly prohibit domain names expressing racial, religious, or national intolerance, hate speech, or that violate generally accepted standards of decency and morality.
Individuals must provide proof of local presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
