Norwegian Domains (.no)
A local domain helps customers recognize your business as established and trustworthy in Norway. It can also improve visibility in local search results and support brand positioning in the Norwegian market.
Why Choose a Norwegian Domain?
Increased Trust
Norwegian consumers associate .no domains with credibility, security, and serious businesses.
Stronger Local Presence
A .no domain helps position your company as locally relevant and market-ready.
Improved SEO in Norway
Local domains can support better visibility in Norwegian search results.
Regulated and Secure
Norwegian domains are subject to strict regulations, ensuring high standards and protection.
Eligibility Criteria for .no Domains
Norid is the official registry that manages Norway’s country-code top-level domain .no. It operates the authoritative system for registering and administering .no domain names and maintains the official database of all registered .no domains.
Obtain a Norwegian Organization Number
To register a Norwegian domain, your company must have a Norwegian organization number. This is typically obtained by registering a Norwegian entity for foreign businesses (NUF). The process requires submitting company registration documents and providing a registered address in Norway. Once registration is completed, the organization number can be used to purchase a Norwegian domain.
D-Number Access for Foreign Business Owners
A designated contact person in Norway is required to register a Norwegian domain. The contact person must hold a Norwegian national identity number or D-number and acts as the company’s local representative for domain-related communication, ensuring there is always a reliable point of contact in Norway.

What to Consider When Registering a Norwegian Domain
Registering a Norwegian domain is more than just securing a name. Several practical factors can influence how effective it will be for your business.
Relevance of the domain name
Choose a name that resonates with your Norwegian audience and supports your brand positioning in the local market.
Language and spelling
Avoid names that may be confusing, hard to pronounce, or easy to misspell for Norwegian users.
Renewal and maintenance
Make sure the domain is renewed on time to prevent downtime or the risk of losing it to another party.
Defensive registrations
Consider registering similar variations of your domain (for example, with or without hyphens) to protect your brand and reduce the risk of confusion or misuse.
