Registration

The City of New York desires to have only those individuals or entities having a substantive and lawful connection to the City be permitted to register for .NYC domain names ("Nexus Policy").

Registrants in .NYC must be either:

a natural person whose primary place of domicile is a valid physical address in the City of New York (“Nexus Category 1”) or

an entity or organization that has a physical street address in the City of New York (“Nexus Category 2”).

X-NYC-REGISTRANT-NEXUS-CATEGORY = 1 | 2 

The existence of a P.O. Box address in the City of New York shall not qualify for purposes of meeting the Nexus Policy. Registrants may find more information about compliance with the City tax laws at the City of New York Department of Finance’s website (currently at www.nyc.gov/finance).

Authorization code

There are special requirements regarding the format of the authorization code. Please consider the following restrictions, if you want to assign a new authorization code to a .COM domain:

• Minimum 8 characters
• having at least one (1) numeric,
• one (1) alphabetic, and
• one (1) special character

You may generate a valid random auth code by adding this parameter to the ModifyDomain command:
