Who can register .no domains?

Only Norwegian Residents can register .no domain names. They must register for and provide a personal identification code, which will start with N.PRI, as well as sign a declaration form confirming eligibility. Individual registrants are limited to a maximum of 5 domain names for registration.

Registration restrictions

When registering a .no domain, you must follow specific requirements.

Features

  • Registration length: 1 year
  • Renewal length: 1 year
    • Your .no domain name renews before its expiration date. The renewal date depends on whether the domain name is auto-renewed or renewed manually. Auto-renewal is attempted 19 days prior,12 days prior, and 5 days prior to the domain name's expiration. If the previous renewal attempt fails, we re-attempt renewal 4 days prior to expiration. If the fourth attempt fails, we try one more time 3 days prior to the expiration date.
    • If we cannot auto-renew the domain name and you do not manually renew 3 days prior to the expiration date, it must be redeemed. There might be a fee for the redemption. See Renew my expired domain for instructions on the redemption.
    • For example: Your .no domain name expires on January 31. If your domain name does not renew automatically, you can renew it manually by January 28. For automatic renewals, we attempt to renew the domain name on January 12, January 19, January 26, January 27, and January 28.
