About the .PHARMACY domain
What is the .PHARMACY domain?
It is described as an "open but restricted" domain: before registering any name, the applicant must first obtain NABP's Healthcare Merchant Accreditation, a program open to both healthcare merchants and health-adjacent businesses. The process requires submitting an application along with additional documentation and the proposed website content, subject to a $975 review fee per evaluated site, with a review period that in most cases extends up to 60 business days. Once the application is approved, NABP emails an approval token, which must be used to complete domain registration through an NABP-authorized registrar within a maximum of 60 days; if the token isn't used in time, the approved name returns to the pool of domains available to other applicants. Securing a .pharmacy domain is, in fact, the mandatory final step within the Healthcare Merchant Accreditation process, and failing the subsequent annual verification can result in the domain being deleted.
.pharmacy is an "open but restricted" domain: before registering, the applicant must obtain NABP's Healthcare Merchant Accreditation, submitting an application subject to a $975 per-website review fee and an evaluation process taking up to 60 business days. After approval, NABP emails an electronic token to register the domain with an authorized registrar, valid for 60 days; if not used within that window, the name returns to the pool of available domains. An annual verification must also be passed to keep the domain active. Contact our team to confirm availability and the exact requirements.
