.PRO Domain Registration Process Professionals FAQ - How will the Registry review the eligibility of registrants in the .Pro domain?
- What distinguishes the .Pro TLD from other domain extensions is its unique registration requirements. RegistryPro will require that registrants self-certify that they are professionals who meet the requirements of their profession and jurisdiction and provide license and identity information which can be independently cross-referenced through an extensive review process.
- Is this a real-time registration?
- No, to ensure a high level of security, .Pro registrations are multi-stage to provide assurance that the registrant is who they represent themselves to be.
- What is the process for registering a .Pro domain?
- 1) First, make sure the domain you want is available by using our whois service.
2) Fill out the short application form providing basic information.
3) You will be sent an email from the Registry requesting for your professional eligibility information. The domain will not resolve until you submit your professional information (business license information). You must complete this step within 44 days; otherwise you risk losing your domain and your registration fee will not be refunded.
4) Once your professional eligibility information is received, the domain will resolve.

- I received a notification from the Registry that my professional eligibility information did not pass their test. What do I need to do?
- Second-level .Pro domains are subject to random verifications checks for professional eligibility. If your information did not pass, please resubmit your professional information as per the emails instructions.

- Other than renewing your domain when it is close to expiring, registrants are required to agree to the Terms of Use (TOU) annually and to re-verify professional eligibility.

You will be notified through email at the end of each year to do so.
- Will eligibility be reviewed again after registration?
- Eligibility for will be periodically re-verified, at a minimum annually, at the time of a registrants' digital certificate annual renewal.

(i) contract with RegistryPro for individual identity and professional verification services,
