.sa domain restrictions
Recently, it is possible to register .sa domains. The com.sa, edu.sa, sch.sa, med.sa, gov.sa, org.sa and pub.sa domains are also registered.
In order to register a domain, one of the following conditions is required:
- Having a registered office or representative office in Saudi Arabia and documenting this fact during domain registration (by presenting documents issued by the Saudi Arabian authorities).
- Possession of a trademark valid in the territory of Saudi Arabia (in this case, if the registrant does not have his own representative office, it is possible to use such a service for an additional fee).
Why should I buy a .sa domain?
A .sa address shows a direct commitment to the Saudi market, which can build trust with local customers and partners and protect your brand inside the country. If you run an international business expanding into Saudi Arabia — or you want to stop someone else registering your brand there — securing the matching .sa is worth considering once you meet the requirements.
