.law domain questions

Straight answers on prices, registration, transfers and renewals.

.law is restricted to the legal profession. The registry verifies that registrants are qualified lawyers, law firms, courts or legal organisations.

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its authorisation (EPP) code, then start a transfer on our domain transfer page. The transfer price includes a one-year renewal, so one year is added to your current expiry date.

Your website and email stop working on the expiry date. For a grace period after that, whose length depends on the extension, you can still renew at the normal price. After that a restore fee applies, and if the domain isn't restored it is deleted and anyone can register it. We email you reminders before your domain expires.
