About the .DENTAL domain
What is the .DENTAL domain?
The only real restriction the registry applies is regulatory in nature, not professional: enhanced screening based on the OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) sanctions list issued by the US government. If the applicant's country and state/province combination matches a region under sanctions, the operation is automatically rejected. In addition, in line with ICANN's reserved names list, "EXAMPLE" is reserved at the second level, and all two-character labels are initially reserved. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters, with registration periods of 1 to 10 years.
Despite what the name suggests, .dental requires no professional license or dental-industry accreditation: anyone or any company can register it, with no need to prove activity related to dentistry. The only real restriction applied by the registry is screening based on the OFAC (US Office of Foreign Assets Control) sanctions list: if the applicant's country and region combination matches a sanctioned territory, registration is automatically rejected.
