Requirements
Who can register a .spot?
Good to know when registering
- When .spot was introduced, there was first a priority period for trademark holders with a registration in the Trademark Clearinghouse. It ran from 18 March to 2 May 2025.
- This was followed by an early access period from 12 to 16 May 2025 inclusive, during which you could apply for a name at a higher price. That amount was non-refundable, even if the application was unsuccessful.
- Since 19 May 2025, .spot has been open for anyone to register. At the start, a claims period applied: if you registered a name that matched a trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse, you received a notice and the trademark holder was informed.
