About .nz

.nz is the country-code TLD for New Zealand. It is managed by InternetNZ, a nonprofit organization based in Wellington. Registration is open to anyone, but for .nz second-level domains (like yourname.nz) you must have a New Zealand presence. Third-level domains (like co.nz) may have extra rules. The .nz registry is operated by the Domain Name Commission, which enforces a dispute resolution service. The TLD was delegated in January 1987, making it one of the older country-code domains. InternetNZ took over management in the early 2000s and has since introduced policies to keep the namespace stable and fair.

Eligibility & restrictions

For .nz second-level domains you must have a New Zealand presence. Third-level domains like co.nz or org.nz may have specific eligibility rules set by their respective moderated services, but many are open to anyone. Check the Domain Name Commission for details.
