What is .insurance?

The .insurance extension is a verified extension for insurance companies and licensed insurance professionals. The .insurance extension is run by the same registry that runs .bank, and both require verification.

.insurance has an eligibility check. Only licensed insurance companies, agents and related bodies can register a .insurance domain. The registry checks your licence before approval. Proof of eligibility is needed. The registry checks it before the domain goes live. Send us the papers on WhatsApp or email and we handle the registry side.

A licensed insurance company in Karachi can apply, but it must submit proof of its licence and pass the registry check. That is the kind of use .insurance is built for.

Terms run from 1 to 10 years. Longer terms lock in the price and avoid yearly reminders. Expired names can usually be restored within 30 days at a higher fee.

Moving .insurance to DomainWalay is simple. Unlock the domain at your current provider, get the auth code (also called EPP code), and start the transfer here. New registrations and recent transfers have a 60 day lock. Most transfers finish in 5 to 7 days.
