.insurance Domain Name Information

Registry Operator may offer premium domain names that are subject to non-standard registration fees. Please ask us about pricing for these domain names.

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.

.INSURANCE DOMAIN ELIGIBILITY AND NAMING REQUIREMENTS

1. Insurance company
2. Insurance agent/agency, broker/brokerage or other equivalents (e.g., intermediaries, representatives)
3. Insurance holding or parent companies

Other eligible organizations include:

1. Associations or groups of associations whose membership is primarily comprised of the above regulated entities
2. Government regulators of insurance companies, insurance 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 fTLD Board)

Domain names must correspond to organization's legal name or branding (e.g., trademark, trade name, service mark) in bona fide use for the offering of goods or services, or provision of information, in the jurisdiction where the organization is licensed, approved or certified to conduct business.
