    About .om domain

    .om is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) assigned to Oman, delegated by IANA and first introduced on 11 April 1996. The registry is managed by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), which assumed responsibility following a redelegation approved by ICANN on 5 August 2011. The TRA operates under a mandate extended by Royal Decree No. 64/2007 to organize, allocate, and manage domain names in Oman. In addition to the base .om extension, the registry also administers the Arabic-script equivalent and a structured set of second-level zones such as .co.om, .com.om, .edu.om, and others. The TRA is solely responsible for auto-renewing registered domains and accrediting registrars authorized to accept registration applications.

    Who can register .om domain

    Registration directly under .om is primarily available to Omani nationals, government administrative units, public juristic persons, foreign embassies in Oman, licensed enterprises and companies, civil and professional associations, trade unions, and non-profit organizations licensed to operate in Oman. Non-Omani individuals and foreign companies may also be permitted to register a .om second-level domain name directly, subject to conditions and measures issued by the TRA. Each second-level zone carries its own eligibility requirements — for example, .co.om and .com.om require a commercial license in Oman, .edu.om requires approval from Omani educational authorities, and .med.om is restricted to licensed health enterprises. Prospective registrants should verify their eligibility category before applying, as documentation of licensing or residency status may be required.

    How to register .om domain

    1. Search for your desired .om domain name through an accredited registrar authorized by the TRA. Confirmed accredited registrars include GulfCyberTech, Ooredoo Oman, Oman Telecommunication Company, Oman Data Park, and Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property — check the TRA's official website for the current list.

    2. Compare the registrar's pricing, supported zone options (e.g., .om, .co.om, .com.om), and any additional services offered. Make sure the registrar supports the specific second-level zone you need, as eligibility requirements differ across zones.

    3. Complete the registration application through your chosen registrar, providing accurate contact details and any required documentation to demonstrate eligibility — such as a commercial license, government affiliation, or proof of Omani nationality or residency.

    4. After registration, verify your contact information is correct and configure your DNS settings to point to your hosting provider or servers. Note that the TRA handles auto-renewal of registered domains, so confirm the renewal process and any notification procedures with your registrar.

    Typical uses of .om domain

    The .om extension is used primarily by Omani government bodies, businesses, educational institutions, and professional organizations that want a locally recognized web presence. Companies licensed in Oman often choose .om or .com.om to signal their connection to the local market and build trust with Omani audiences. Beyond its intended use, .om has also attracted attention as a domain that closely resembles .com when a single character is dropped, making it a target for typosquatting — a practice where domains are registered to intercept traffic from users who mistype popular .com addresses.

    Tips for registering .om domain

    • Domain names under .om must be between 2 and 63 characters in length, using Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens — hyphens cannot appear at the start or end of the name. Single-letter and single-digit registrations are also permitted under the rules.
    • The TRA is responsible for auto-renewing registered .om domains; confirm with your accredited registrar how renewal notifications and billing are handled to avoid unexpected lapses or charges.
    • Each second-level zone (.co.om, .edu.om, .gov.om, .med.om, etc.) has distinct eligibility requirements — registering in the wrong zone or without proper documentation may result in rejection or cancellation of the domain.
    • The TRA monitors registrars and registrants for compliance with its rules and guidelines, and retains the right to terminate registrar accreditation and take action on complaints — registrants should ensure their use of the domain remains compliant with TRA regulations.
    • The TRA publishes the list of accredited registrars on its official website; always verify a registrar's current accreditation status before submitting a registration application or transferring a domain.

    Who operates .om domain?The registry for .om domains is TRA, administered by Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA).
    Who can register a .om domain?

    Eligibility for .om extends to Omani nationals, licensed businesses, government bodies, embassies, professional associations, and non-profit organizations operating in Oman. Foreign individuals and companies may also register directly under .om, but only under conditions set by the TRA. For second-level zones, specific documentation — such as a commercial license, educational accreditation, or health enterprise license — will typically be required to complete the application.

    Can I transfer a .om domain between registrars?

    Transfers of .om domains between registrars must be handled through accredited registrars authorized by the TRA. The TRA oversees the accreditation of registrars and sets the rules governing transfers, so the process may differ from the standard EPP-based transfer flow used for most gTLDs. Before initiating a transfer, confirm that both the losing and gaining registrars are currently accredited by the TRA, and check whether any lock periods or documentation requirements apply.

    Can non-Omani businesses register a .om domain?

    Foreign enterprises and companies may be permitted to register directly under .om or under second-level zones such as .co.om and .com.om, but only in accordance with specific conditions and measures issued by the TRA. This is not an automatic right — the TRA evaluates such applications and may impose additional requirements. Foreign applicants should contact an accredited registrar to understand the current conditions before applying.

    What happens if a .om domain is used for typosquatting or abusive purposes?

    The TRA has authority to handle appeals and complaints related to domain name use, including disputes involving misuse or abuse of .om registrations. Registrants found to be in violation of TRA rules risk having their domain suspended or cancelled. The TRA's complaint process operates without prejudice to Oman's Industrial Property Act, meaning trademark holders may also have recourse through intellectual property law in addition to the TRA's own dispute mechanisms.

    Are there character or formatting restrictions for .om domain names?

    A .om domain name must consist of at least 2 and no more than 63 characters, using Latin letters, digits, and hyphens. Hyphens are permitted within the name but cannot appear at the very beginning or end. Unusually, the rules also allow registration of a domain made up of a single Latin letter or a single digit, which is not permitted under many other TLDs.

    How are disputes over .om domain names resolved?

    The TRA is empowered to receive and act on complaints and appeals submitted by registrars, registrants, or any concerned party regarding .om domain names. Disputes that touch on trademark or intellectual property rights are handled with reference to Oman's Industrial Property Act and its executive regulations. Parties with trademark concerns should be aware that the TRA's internal dispute process and Omani intellectual property law may both be relevant avenues for resolution.
