About the .NO domain

What is the .NO domain?

.no is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Norway, registered with IANA on March 17, 1987, making it one of the oldest ccTLDs in the world. It is managed by Norid A/S, based in Trondheim — the same entity that administers .bv and .sj.

Registration requires a genuine connection to Norway: individuals must have a Norwegian postal address, a national identity number (PID) obtained through registration in the National Registry, genuinely reside in the country, and be 18 or older; they can register a maximum of 5 .no domains each. Companies need a Norwegian postal address and must be registered with an organization number at the Brønnøysund Register Centre, with a limit of 100 domains per entity. Those who do not meet these requirements — including Norwegians who move abroad, who cannot register new domains while residing outside the country — can use trustee services based in Norway, though these trustees technically become the domain's legal owners.
