Can I buy .us

[aaronfalloon]

I was wandering if I can buy a .us domain if I don't live in the US and I would also like to know if I can buy other country codes.

I'm pretty sure you can buy any domain from another person if it is a country code domain but I'm not sure if you can register them yourself.

 

[Fleege]

im pretty sure you can especially if you purchase them at a us based registar like godaddy.

most ccTLDs like can be purchased by anyone
but some like .us have restrictions
To legally purchase .US you have to satisfy the rules
Basically If you conduct business in the USA
or a USA Citizen then you qualify
Most Registrars and Resellers have the .US Nexus Rules on their FAQ
The following is from Mine

To qualify for a .us domain name you must meet one of the following Nexus Requirements. The U.S. Nexus Requirement is intended to ensure that only those individuals or organizations that have a substantive connection to the United States are permitted to register for .us domain names. To be in compliance with the U.S. Nexus Requirement, all registrants for the .us domain must be either:

A natural person (i) who is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories, or (ii) whose primary place of domicile is in the United States of America or any of its possessions,or

An entity or organization that is (i) incorporated within one of the fifty (50) U.S. states, the District of Columbia, or any of the United States possessions or territories or (ii) organized or otherwise constituted under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or any of its possessions or territories,or

An entity or organization (including a federal, state, or local government of the United States, or a political subdivision thereof) that has a bona fide presence in the United States.
