# Best domain registrars in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's ccTLD is tied to Saudi legal standing, and no registrar we track sells it. SaudiNIC requires the registrant to prove a relationship between itself and the requested name, and to prove eligibility for the specific Saudi string. Eligible applicants are entities holding a registration or licence from a Saudi authority, or owners of a trademark or trade name registered in Saudi Arabia. The administrative contact's details must be complete, accurate and local to the Kingdom. Registration of new names runs only through licensed registrars, and SaudiNIC reserves the right to review any request before or after completion. For .com and other gTLDs the registrars we track are the cheaper option.
