The Flemish separatist party [[Vlaams Belang]] introduced a draft resolution in the [[Flemish Parliament|Parliament]] of the region of [[Flanders]] demanding the creation of a Flemish top level domain .vl (for {{lang|nl|Vlaanderen}}, Flanders in [[Flemish dialects|Flemish]]).<ref>[https://www.vlaamsbelang.org/vlaams-belang-wil-b-vervangen-door-vl-op-autonummerplaten-landspostcode-internetextentie-en-burgerluchtvaartuigen/ Vlaams Belang wil 'B' vervangen door 'VL' op autonummerplaten, landspostcode, internetextentie en burgerluchtvaartuigen]</ref> 

However, this resolution failed to receive support of the region's other parties. Only recognized UN member states are eligible for a two-letter domain extension.<ref name="rfc1591">{{cite web |last1=Postel |first1=Jon |date=March 1994 |title=IANA RFC |url=http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1591}}</ref> 

In October 2008, the Flemish government expressed its intention to obtain a three-letter domain code for Flanders, like .vla, .vln or .fla. In 2014, [[.vlaanderen]] and [[.brussels]] were added, also administered by DNSBelgium.

The domain has also been in use as a logo for the federal government since 2003.<ref>{{cite web|title=Logo|url=http://logo.fgov.be/|language=fr|access-date=2014-05-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140516190344/http://logo.fgov.be/|archive-date=2014-05-16|url-status=dead}}</ref>
