.school.nz
A .school.nz domain is a second-level name under the New Zealand country code, New Zealand’s own namespace for schools. The registry is operated by InternetNZ, which runs the .nz namespace and publishes its own policies for it.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain against forged DNS answers. Terms run from 1 to 10 years, so you can choose a registration length that suits your budget. Transfers to Domain Central are usually completed within a day once the UDAI code is supplied, and the expiry date does not change when a name moves between registrars.
A .school.nz domain suits New Zealand schools and education organisations that want a name tied to their country. Before you register, check that your contact details are accurate, and confirm that the name you want is available and meets the registry’s rules.
Registration is open to individuals and organisations, and the registry’s policy sets the following requirements.
- Individuals must be aged 18 or over and identifiable.
- Organisations must be properly constituted.
- No New Zealand presence is required to register.
If your domain expires, you have a grace period to renew it before anything else happens.
- The grace period after expiry is 30 days.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- Renew before the expiry date to keep the name without any interruption.
You can move an existing domain to Domain Central from another provider with a small number of steps.
- You need the UDAI authorisation code from your current provider.
- Transfers are usually completed within a day once the UDAI code is supplied.
- A transfer does not change the expiry date of your domain.
You can change the registrant of a .school.nz domain, and the term stays the same.
- The registrant can be changed without altering the expiry date.
- Keep your contact details up to date so the registry can reach you.
