.legal registration
.legal is designed for law firms, independent lawyers, legal consultants, compliance specialists, legal publishers, and organizations that provide law-related information or services. The registry opens .legal registration to everyone, so applicants do not need to belong to a particular profession, jurisdiction, or industry. Available .legal names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A domain label may contain between 2 and 63 characters. The extension also supports a range of internationalized Latin characters, including commonly used French and Spanish letters, as well as characters such as ß. To transfer an existing .legal domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the registered holder follows a separate authentication process. Validation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder. Both parties must complete the required confirmation within five days, or the request is cancelled. This holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date.

Frequently asked questions

Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .legal?
The registry does not impose professional eligibility conditions or require applicants to submit law licences, company records, or similar supporting documents. The requested name must be available, and its label must contain between 2 and 63 characters.
Is .legal a good choice, and what projects suit it?
legal is a focused choice for law firms, lawyers, compliance advisers, legal technology services, professional directories, educational resources, and regulatory information projects. It works best when communicating a clear connection to law or legal services is more important than using a broadly familiar extension.
When does .legal make more sense than .com?
legal makes more sense when the domain itself should identify a law-related purpose, especially for specialist practices, compliance services, or legal publications. .com offers broader recognition and flexibility across industries, while .legal provides stronger subject positioning but may be less familiar to a general audience.
How quickly is a .legal domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .legal registration can be processed after the requested name is confirmed as available and the order is completed. The domain remains registered until its recorded expiry date and can be renewed to maintain ownership. Its label must contain between 2 and 63 characters.
How do I transfer a .legal domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection through your current registrar, then request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with your transfer order at host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date.
