.om Domain
.om is the ccTLD of Oman, registered with IANA on April 11, 1996, and managed by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). Following a recent regulatory reform, foreign companies no longer need a trademark registered in Oman, though local contact is still required in most cases.

About the .OM domain
What is the .OM domain?
The regulations for .om, .com.om, and .co.om underwent a particularly significant recent reform: the former requirement for foreign companies to have a trademark registered in Oman to apply for the domain was removed, a requirement that had considerably delayed market entry for international companies. Under current practice, applicants must provide proof of corporate existence or business activity (usually a scanned copy of their commercial registration), and the requested domain name must correspond to the company's name, brand, or business identity, without conflicting with existing trademarks in the Sultanate. A local administrative contact or trustee in Oman is still required in most cases, and the TRA evaluates each application individually, potentially imposing additional requirements: access is not an automatic right.
Following a recent reform, foreign companies no longer need a trademark registered in Oman to apply for the domain: proof of corporate existence or business activity is now sufficient, as long as the name matches the company's identity. A local administrative contact or trustee in Oman is still required in most cases, and the TRA evaluates each application individually, with access not being automatic.
