Only verified members of the global insurance community are eligible to register .insurance domains. Qualified registrants are for-profit and not-for profit business or organizations such as:
Insurance companies regulated by a government authority (e.g. licensed, approved and certified);
Licensed insurance agents/agencies, brokers/brokerages or other equivalents (e.g. intermediaries, representatives) regulated by a government authority;
Associations whose members are primarily comprised of entities or individuals identified above in 1 and 2;
Groups of associations whose members are primarily comprised of associates identified above in 1 and 2;
Service providers that are principally owned by or predominately supporting regulated entities identified above in 1 and 2.
Government regulators of insurance companies, agents/agencies, brokers/brokerages or other equivalents (e.g. intermediaries, representatives) or organizations whose members are primarily comprised of such government regulators.
Each domain submission will go through a verification process to ensure that registrations are made only with organizations that meet the eligibility requirements and verification is performed at the time of initial registration and with each renewal or every two years (whichever comes first), if there is a change to the organization name and upon request to the registrar by the Registry Operator. The registrant may be required to submit certain information to Registry Operator, or its designated third-party service provider, to verify its eligibility to register a domain name in .insurance.
Additional information on eligibility, Registrant Obligations, naming requirements and verification process can be found on the .insurance registry website: https://www.ftld.com/policies/.
In addition to the .insurance Policies (https://www.ftld.com/policies/), other documents are included to identify a variety of security and operational requirements.
