Abstract

A Norwegian address or organisation number is required before a .no domain can be registered, making Norway's country code one of the more tightly gated in Western Europe. Norid AS administers the registry, which was delegated in 1987 and holds roughly 700,000 domains. The eligibility rule keeps speculative and foreign registration out of the namespace, with the practical result that a .no address reliably indicates an entity with a genuine Norwegian footing.
