.attorney

A .attorney domain is a generic top-level domain run by Dog Beach, LLC. It is a newer extension, and its registry operates it through the Identity Digital platform. The extension is meant for websites associated with lawyers, attorneys and the legal profession, and it can also be used by educational facilities and support companies with a legal connection.

A .attorney domain supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your visitors against tampered DNS responses. Names can be between 2 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. The registry does not require local presence, so you do not need to be based in any particular place to register. Registration terms run in one-year increments.

A .attorney domain is a good choice if your firm, practice or legal service wants a name that tells people exactly what you do. Because the extension is relatively new, good names are still available, but the strongest ones may not stay that way. Before you register, confirm that the name fits the legal connection the extension is meant for.

Registration is open to anyone worldwide.

• Anyone may register a .attorney domain, regardless of where they live.
• Your contact details must be accurate when you register.
• You must keep your contact details current for the life of the domain.

A .attorney domain has a 40-day grace period after it expires.

• If your domain expires, you can still renew it during the 40-day grace period.
• There is no separate redemption period.
• Renew before the expiry date to keep the name without any interruption.
• Renewals are made in one-year increments.

You can transfer an existing .attorney domain to Domain Central from another provider.

• You need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current registrar.
• The domain must be unlocked before the transfer begins.
• A transfer usually takes 5 to 7 days, and the losing registrar has up to 5 days to respond.
• A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.

You can change the registrant of a .attorney domain through your registrar.

• The registrant change is handled through the registrar, not the registry.
• Changing the registrant does not change the expiry date.
