Registrant Eligibility Requirements

In order to be eligible to register (and continue to be a registrant of) a domain name in .LAW, the registrant must be a Qualified Lawyer. For the purposes of this Eligibility Policy, a Qualified Lawyer is a professional who is licensed to practice law by an approved regulator of legal services in a given jurisdiction.

A Qualified Lawyer must be identifiable as a currently licensed practitioner in the public records kept by the relevant approved regulator. Therefore, using a registrar proxy or privacy service or any other service having an equivalent effect are prohibited.

Required Information For Use (Domain Resolution) of a .LAW:

At the point of registration or shortly after registration, the following fields are required for .LAW domains to resolve. Without submission of these fields, .LAW domains can be registered but will not resolve on the Internet.
