.insurance Domain Names

To purchase your domain name, you must first search for the availability of the unique phrase (without spaces or with hyphens). If the domain name is available, you may then add it to the cart to register for up to 10 years. If the .insurance generic domain is not available, then either modify your phrase, or inquire about purchasing the name outright through 101domain's Domain Concierge Service.

As a courtesy, we will pre-screen your request to confirm you meet the eligibility and naming requirements for .INSURANCE. Placing an order for a .INSURANCE domain name does not guarantee it will be successfully registered to you. You will be required to complete the verification process (described below) directly with the registry.

.INSURANCE DOMAIN ELIGIBILITY AND NAMING REQUIREMENTS
To become a .INSURANCE Registrant, your organization must be one of the following government regulated entities:

1. Insurance company
2. Insurance agent/agency, broker/brokerage or other equivalents (e.g., intermediaries, representatives)
3. Insurance holding or parent companies

Other eligible organizations include:

1. Associations or groups of associations whose membership is primarily comprised of the above regulated entities
2. Government regulators of insurance companies, insurance agents/agencies, brokers/brokerages or other equivalents (e.g., intermediaries, representatives) or organizations whose members are primarily comprised of such government regulators (if approved by the fTLD Board)

Domain Name Eligibility (Naming Requirements)
Domain names must correspond to organization's legal name or branding (e.g., trademark, trade name, service mark) in bona fide use for the offering of goods or services, or provision of information, in the jurisdiction where the organization is licensed, approved or certified to conduct business. A registered trademark is not required to register a domain name.

Your domain submission will go through a detailed verification process to ensure that registrations are made only with organizations that meet the eligibility requirements. fTLD Registry performs verification upon the initial registration, annually thereafter, and if certain registration information changes (e.g., Registrant Organization, Registrant Name, Registrant Email). You may be required to submit certain information to fTLD Registry during the Verification process.

In accordance with fTLD Registry Services, the Registry Operator, .INSURANCE Registered Name Holder's consent to the collection and use of Personal Data by the Registry Operator. In addition, Registered Name Holder agrees that in the event of any dispute concerning the time of the entry of a Registered Name registration into the Registry System, the timestamp shown in the Registry System records shall control. All applicable national, state or local law, regulation or court order in relation to its operations and registrations of the .INSURANCE shall apply. In addition, the use of privacy or proxy registration services by the Registered Name Holder in registering or maintaining domain name registrations are not permitted. You will however be able to designate a role name such as "Domain Administrator" for use on public whois.

These commitments are mandated by ICANN and included as Specification 11 in fTLD's Registry Agreement. Public Interest Commitments (PICs) are reflected in 101domain Legal Agreements, the .INSURANCE Policies or .INSURANCE Security Requirements. Some PICs are included in .INSURANCE Policies and in the Security Requirements.

fTLD Security Requirements

Some of the Requirements are drawn from the PICs and others from the Community Registration Policies included as Specification 12 to fTLD's Registry Agreement. The Requirements address issues such registrant verification and DNSSEC and identify the responsible party (i.e., Registry Operator, Registrar or Registrant) to ensure compliance. More information is available at Security Requirements which may be amended from time-to-time to meet the security and other needs of the global financial services community.
