As a courtesy, we will pre-screen your request to confirm you meet the eligibility and naming requirements for .INSURANCE. Placing an order for a .INSURANCE domain name does not guarantee it will be successfully registered to you. You will be required to complete the verification process (described below) directly with the registry. If registration is unsuccessful, only the registration fee is refundable after your domain registration request is submitted to the registry for verification.

.INSURANCE DOMAIN ELIGIBILITY AND NAMING REQUIREMENTS

The following businesses or organizations are initially eligible to register domain names in .INSURANCE:

  • (3.1) Insurance companies regulated by a government authority (e.g., licensed, approved, certified);
  • (3.2) Licensed insurance agents/agencies, brokers/brokerages or other equivalents (e.g., intermediaries, representatives) regulated by a government authority;
  • (3.3) Associations whose members are primarily comprised of entities or individuals identified above in 3.1 or 3.2;
  • (3.4) Groups of associations whose members are primarily comprised of associations identified above in 3.3;
  • (3.5) Service providers that are principally owned by or predominantly supporting regulated entities identified above in 3.1 or 3.2 (if approved by the Registry Operator Board of Directors); and
  • (3.6) Government regulators of insurance companies, agents/agencies, brokers/brokerages or other equivalents (e.g., intermediaries, representatives) or organizations whose members are primarily comprised of such government regulators (if approved by the Registry Operator Board of Directors).

Holding companies do not meet the eligibility requirements for .INSURANCE. Holding companies may register domain names on behalf of their eligible subsidiaries provided the registrant contact information submitted during the registration process is for the eligible entity. If the registrant contact provided is that of the holding company the verification process will fail.

Domain names must: (a) correspond to a trademark, trade name or service mark of the Applicant in bona fide use for the offering of goods or services, or provision of information, in the jurisdiction where the Applicant is licensed, approved or certified to conduct business; (b) not be a Reserved Name; and (c) not be likely to deceive or cause material detriment to a significant portion of the global insurance community, its customers or Internet users.

The registry requires that certain information must be specified in the registrant contact for your .insurance domain name.
1) The Registrant first and last name must be a person's name and someone that is currently employed with the applying entity. (It cannot contain the entities name or generic name such as Domain Administrator, etc).

3) The Registrant address cannot be a PO box and must be the physical address of the entity.
