- An organisation is eligible if it is incorporated or registered in one of the fifty US states, the District of Columbia or a US territory, or is otherwise legally established there.

Transfer
Transferring a .us
- To transfer a domain, you need a valid transfer code. If the code is incorrect, the transfer will fail.

- The domain must be more than 60 days old, otherwise the transfer will be refused.
- Start the transfer in good time, not just before the domain expires.
- The registrant receives an email in which the transfer must be confirmed.
The transfer code

- The registrant or the administrative contact can request the code from the current registrar.
