Requirements
Who can register a .am?
- Your domain name can't contain any sexual content or reference. If in doubt, choose a different name.
- Geographical names, country names, two- or three-letter country codes, well-known abbreviations and acronyms, and generic terms aren't allowed.
- The registry can revoke an existing .am domain name if it turns out you're using it for spam or for illegal or inappropriate purposes, such as inciting hatred, violence, terrorism, pornography or human trafficking.
- Your contact details must be genuine and complete. Incorrect or made-up details can lead to your domain name being revoked.
Additional details for registration
- You must enter your full first name and surname as the registrant. The registry doesn't accept initials only, and this can lead to the domain name being revoked.
- All contact details must be genuine. A generic label such as 'Domain Administrator' as a name isn't allowed.
Documents
- To transfer a domain, you need a letter of authorisation from the current registrant of the domain name.
- For a change of registrant, you provide a letter in English from the current registrant agreeing to the transfer, along with a copy of their ID.
- The new registrant also provides a letter giving their agreement. An individual includes a copy of an official photo ID; an organisation uses letterhead with a logo and/or a company stamp.
- Documents must be supplied in PDF format and can't be larger than 2 MB in total.
Good to know when registering
- Every registration must be approved by the .am registry. You can manage the domain name straight after applying, but approval follows later.
- If the registry rejects your application, you'll get a full refund.
- For a .am domain name, your details are always hidden in the public Whois. This privacy protection can't be turned off.
Transfer
Transferring a .am
- To transfer a domain, you need a letter of authorisation from the current registrant of the domain name.

Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- If you want to change the registrant's name or organisation, you can only do this through a change of registrant, not through a regular change of contact details.
- A change of registrant requires two letters: a statement of agreement in English from the current registrant with a copy of their ID, and a statement of agreement from the new registrant.
- After a change of registrant, the domain name's registration term starts again.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If you cancel your domain name, it's only deleted at the registry at the end of the current registration period.
