question Buying a .us domain before opening a U.S. office

[carini]

Can my "cousin" purchase a .us domain name in advance through a third-party before opening a new branch in the U.S.? The domain will remain unused for 2.3 months.

Thanks in advance

Yes, would suggest Dynadot and enable US nexus settings: https://www.dynadot.com/community/help/question/set-nexus-contacts

@Domainer2030 is it possible to non US citizens to own .us domains with nexus and park them?

How? Because there is currently any U.S. company or person, but he wish to register the domain a couple of month before.

Choose Nexus code C31 and then change to C32 after establishing an office. C31 is very broad: "A foreign entity or organization that has a bona fide presence in the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories who regularly engages in lawful activities, sales of goods or services or other business, commercial or non-commercial, including not-for-profit relations in the United States." so basically if you sometimes sell something to US citizens, you qualify. And besides I don't think it's tightly enforced.

More proof it is nonsense to require privacy off for .US

I hate that rule for the .US ext.
