    About .final domain

    .final is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by NIC.br, the Brazilian Network Information Center. It was delegated to the root zone in September 2015. The registry's application described the TLD as a product intended to signify the ultimate version or state of something. It was positioned as a new standard for declaring content or products as final.

The registry explicitly states that domains are for lawful and non-abusive activities. Both individuals and companies are eligible to register.
