Domain .nyc - New TLDs

As one of the most important financial and cultural centers in the world, New York City attracts attention from investors, businesses, and tourists alike. .NYC provides a geographical TLD for the purpose of connecting New Yorkers with one another, and allowing New York City-based companies to network while establishing connections in the global marketplace. .NYC is perfect for anyone who lives, works, or frequently travels to New York City.

The City of New York desires to have only those individuals or entities having a substantive and lawful connection to the city be permitted to register for .nyc domain names ("Nexus Policy").

Registrants in .nyc must be either:
A natural person whose primary place of domicile is a valid physical address in the City of New York (“Nexus Category 1”); or
An entity or organization that has a physical street address in the City of New York (“Nexus Category 2”).

The existence of a P.O. Box address in the City of New York shall not qualify for purposes of meeting the Nexus Policy. Furthermore all other recommendations of the .nyc Nexus Policy need to be followed too.

Registration of .nyc domains is available only to individuals and active business entities based in New York City, subject to the following requirements:

• Only individuals and organizations with a physical presence in one of New York City’s 5 boroughs may register a .nyc domain.
• P.O. Boxes are not permitted.
• Registrants must confirm compliance with all applicable Federal, New York State, and New York City laws and tax requirements.
• Registrants must remain in compliance with the applicable Nexus Policy throughout the entire domain registration period.
• Proxy registrations are not permitted.
• Registrants must agree not to license, transfer, or delegate .nyc domains to third parties.
