==Policy==
Only organizations with a local presence in Norway and with registration in the [[Brønnøysund Register Centre]] are allowed to register domains under {{mono|.no}}. Specifically, they must be registered in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities<!--Enhetsregisteret-->—and thus have an organization number, have a postal address in Norway and must be able to actually document activity in Norway upon request from Norid. All qualified users may register up to 100 domains directly under {{mono|.no}} and five additional domains under each second-level domain.<ref name=policy>{{cite web |url=http://www.norid.no/navnepolitikk.en.html |title=Domain name Policy for .no |publisher=[[Norid]] |access-date=25 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121006100725/http://www.norid.no/navnepolitikk.en.html |archive-date=2012-10-06 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The {{mono|priv.no}} domain is available for registration by individuals. To register, an individual must be registered in the [[National Registry (Norway)|National Registry]] and have been issued a [[national identity number (Norway)|national identity number]], must be resident in Norway and be at least 18 years old. Moving abroad will not result in the domain being deleted, but the person cannot register any more domains while living abroad. There is a limit of five registered domains per person.<ref name=policy />

Non-residents can utilize 'trustee services' based in Norway for .no domain registration, though these trustees technically become the domain's legal owners.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hostadvice.com/blog/domains/register-no-domain/ |title=Register .no Domain – Complete Guide (2023) |date=30 June 2023 }}</ref>

Since June 2014, individuals are not restricted to the {{mono|priv.no}} domain anymore, they can register up to five domains directly under {{mono|.no}},<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.norid.no/en/aktuelt/privatpersoner-2014-en/ |title=Norwegian domain names for everyone - Norid }}</ref> in addition to the five {{mono|priv.no}} domains and five geography-oriented domains (e.g. under {{mono|oslo.no}}, see below).

Domain names must consist of 2 to 63 characters. Permitted characters are the [[ISO basic Latin alphabet]] (a through z), digits (0 through 9), the [[hyphen]] (-), the three [[Norwegian language]] letters [[æ]], [[ø]] and [[å]], and twenty special [[Sami languages]] letters ([[á]]·[[à]]·[[ä]]·[[č]]·[[ç]]·[[đ]]·[[é]]·[[è]]·[[ê]]·[[ŋ]]·[[ń]]·[[ñ]]·[[ó]]·[[ò]]·[[ô]]·[[ö]]·[[š]]·[[ŧ]]·[[ü]]·[[ž]]). The domain name must start and end in a digit or a letter.<ref name=policy /> A large number of domains cannot be registered, including all that are the basis for second-level domains, and a specified series of geographical names, including names of settlements and islands, which may become second-level domains in the future. Eight specific Internet terms may not be registered ({{mono|ftp}}, {{mono|localhost}}, {{mono|whois}}, {{mono|www}}, {{mono|no}}, {{mono|nic}}, {{mono|internet}} and {{mono|internett}}). Additional general-category potential future second-level domains have also been blocked, such as {{mono|com.no}} and {{mono|as.no}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.norid.no/regelverk/vedlegg-a.en.html |title=Appendix A: Reserved and prohibited domain names under domains managed by Norid |publisher=[[Norid]] |access-date=25 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103195606/http://www.norid.no/regelverk/vedlegg-a.en.html |archive-date=2012-11-03 |url-status=live }}</ref>
