What is a .LAW domain?

.LAW is a restricted top-level domain (TLD) designed to promote trust and credibility within the legal community. It creates an exclusive online space for qualified lawyers and authorized legal institutions.

Registration is limited to verified legal professionals and organizations such as law firms, law schools, courts, and legal regulators.

Registration restrictions

.LAW domains are available worldwide, but only to eligible registrants. The registry may request proof of eligibility at any time, and verification is an ongoing requirement.

To register a .LAW domain, the registrant must be one of the following:
