.lv domain information

Domains are available for registration by both individuals and companies outside Latvia.

Instant registration—we operate in real time, so you can start using your new .lv name immediately after payment, without waiting for external confirmation.
Direct access to the registry—thanks to our accreditation, we have an official connection to the registry system. We do not use any additional solutions along the way, so we can independently register, modify, and renew your .lv domains.
High security standards—to obtain accreditation, we have undergone demanding technical and procedural tests conducted by the .lv registry. This gives you the confidence that we operate according to official and proven standards.
Even better support—when non-standard adjustments to settings or registration data are necessary, we can act more efficiently and without going through external procedures. This speeds up the resolution of unusual situations.

When choosing a name, please confirm that it does not constitute a trademark or company name registered in Latvia. If you choose such names for registration, you may need to provide documents certifying your rights to register a given domain name.

The customer authorizes the registrar to conclude an agreement on behalf of the customer with the .LV Registry—the Network Solutions Department of the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Latvia NIC.LV—and to register the .lv domain name. Registration of a domain name in Latvia is subject to acceptance of the registry rules set out in the document Policy for acquisition of the right to use domain names under the top level domain .lv and .LV NIC Privacy policy.

Why should I buy a .lv domain name?

Purchasing a .lv domain can be advantageous if you're conducting business in or targeting the Latvian market, as it can help improve your local search engine rankings and enhance your brand's credibility within Latvia. It's also a good option for securing a specific domain name that might already be taken under more common top-level domains.
