Requirements
Who can register a .no?
- Both organisations and individuals can register a .no domain name.
- The registrant must always have a valid postal address in Norway.
- Organisations must be based in Norway and registered as an approved type of organisation in the Brønnøysund Register (Enhetsregisteret), with a Norwegian organisation number.
- An organisation can hold a maximum of 100 .no domain names.
- Individuals must be 18 or older, be registered in the Norwegian National Population Register (Folkeregisteret) with a Norwegian national identity number (fødselsnummer) and have a Norwegian postal address.
- An individual can hold a maximum of 5 domain names directly under .no, plus a maximum of 5 within a geographical category you belong to and a maximum of 5 under priv.no.
- If you don't have a local presence yourself, you can use a local address through a trustee service. The registrant's details are then replaced with those of the trustee.
Additional details for registration
- If you register as an organisation, you provide the organisation number as it appears in the Enhetsregisteret. You can check this at https://www.brreg.no/en/.
- If you register as an individual, you need a personal ID from the registry Norid, in the format N.PRI. followed by eight digits.
- You apply for this personal ID yourself from Norid at https://pid.norid.no/personid/personid. You'll then receive it by email.
- You need your eleven-digit Norwegian national identity number to apply for the personal ID, but it can't be used in its place.
Documents
- To confirm that the details are correct and belong to you, you can provide a signed declaration with a copy of your ID instead of a phone check.
Good to know when registering
- The registrar must check that the details provided are valid and that the application genuinely comes from the registrant.
- This is usually done by calling the registrant to confirm the application. For individuals, the phone number from the registration details is used.
Transfer
Transferring a .no
- To transfer a domain, you need a transfer code. As the registrant or administrative contact, you request it from your current registrar.
- If you can't get a transfer code from your current registrar, contact WebOké before you start the transfer.
The transfer code
- A transfer code is required to transfer a .no domain name.
- You get the code from your current registrar. Only the registrant or the administrative contact can request it.

Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- You can only renew a .no domain name from one month before the expiry date.
- Deleting a .no domain name requires written consent from the registrant.
- A request to restore a domain name is handled manually. You'll be notified of the outcome by email.
