Requirements
Who can register a .priv.no?
- Both organisations and private individuals can register a .priv.no domain name.
- The registrant must always have a valid postal address in Norway.
- Organisations must be based in Norway and registered as an approved type of organisation in the Enhetsregisteret of the Brønnøysundregistrene.
- An organisation may hold a maximum of 100 domain names in its name.
- Private individuals have been able to register since 17 June 2014. You must be 18 or older and registered in the Folkeregisteret with a Norwegian fødselsnummer.
- As a private individual, you may hold a maximum of 5 domain names directly under .priv.no. In addition, you may hold a maximum of 5 in each geographical category that applies to you and a maximum of 5 under priv..priv.no.
Additional details for registration
- For an organisation, you provide the organisation number from the Norwegian Enhetsregisteret. You can look up this number at https://www.brreg.no/home/.
- For a private individual, you provide a personal identifier in the format N.PRI. followed by eight digits. You request this yourself from Norid at https://pid.norid.no/personid/personid, after which you'll receive it by email.
- You do need your eleven-digit Norwegian fødselsnummer for that request, but it isn't the same as the personal identifier and can't be used in its place.
- Make sure you have a phone number you can be reached on, as your application is checked by phone as standard.
Documents
- Instead of a phone check, you can also provide a signed declaration with a copy of your ID to confirm that the application comes from you.
- Cancelling a .priv.no domain name requires written consent from the registrant.
Good to know when registering
- The registrant's details must be verified. As standard, this is done by calling the registrant to confirm that the application really comes from them.
- For a registration by a private individual, the number from the registration details is used for this.
Transfer
Transferring a .priv.no
- You start the transfer of a .priv.no domain name with an authorisation code from the current registrar.
- If you can't get an authorisation code from your current registrar, contact WebOké before the transfer is requested.
The transfer code
- An authorisation code is required to transfer a domain.
- As the registrant, you request the authorisation code from your current registrar.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- For a transfer of ownership, you must provide the new registrant's Norwegian organisation number or Norid personal identifier, depending on whether the new registrant is an organisation or a private individual.
- After a successful change of registrant, the registration period starts again.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- A .priv.no domain name can only be renewed from 1 month before the expiry date.
- Cancelling the domain name requires written consent from the registrant.
- Restoring a cancelled domain name isn't available as standard. Contact WebOké about this and we'll look into whether it's possible.
