.ad
country-code
The .ad domain is the country code for Andorra, a small nation in the Pyrenees. It is managed by Andorra Telecom, the country's main telecommunications provider. The registry requires registrants to have a local presence, such as a company or trademark registered in Andorra, making it primarily for entities with a connection to the principality. The domain has been in operation since January 1996, making it one of the older country code TLDs still active today. The registry offers a WHOIS service and an RDAP interface for domain lookups. Because of the local presence rule, .ad domains are not commonly used for general international registration, but they serve as a clear marker for Andorran businesses and organizations.
Eligibility and restrictions
Registrants must demonstrate a local presence in Andorra, such as a registered company or trademark.
