# Best domain registrars in Norway

Norway has one of the strictest ccTLD nexus rules in Europe, and no registrar we track sells .no. Norid requires the holder to be a Norwegian organisation with an organisation number in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities, or a private individual over 18 registered in the National Population Register with a national identity number. Every subscriber must maintain a Norwegian mailing address. If you do not have that, .no is not available to you at any price, and the honest answer is to build on a gTLD instead. For .com and similar, the registrars we track are cheaper at renewal than Norwegian resellers.

## ccTLDs

### .no

Norway's country code, the default identity for Norwegian organisations and residents.

- Eligibility: Restricted. Organisations need an organisation number and registration in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities; private individuals must be 18 or over and registered in the National Population Register with a national identity number. All subscribers must keep a Norwegian mailing address.
- Notes: Norid A/S operates the registry and publishes the registrar list. The requirement is a genuine eligibility gate, not paperwork: a foreign buyer with no Norwegian entity or residency cannot hold a .no name.

- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD
