Who can register .nyc domains?

To register an .nyc domain name, you must have a physical address in one of the five boroughs of New York. P.O. boxes are not permitted.

Renewals

We'll attempt to auto-renew your .nyc domain on its expiration date. We'll park .nyc domain names after the first failed billing attempt. If the domain isn't renewed within 40 days following expiration, we cancel it and remove it from your account.

Account change and contact updates requirements

Both are permitted, but your fifth contact type (Owner) must maintain an NYC address and the physical address must be in one of the five boroughs of NYC. P.O. boxes are not permitted.

If you need to update the details for your 5th contact, you must contact support.

C3: Please escalate these requests up to DCAS through ATS as soon as possible.
