About the .JO domain
What is the .JO domain?
Registration requires the holder to have a trademark registered in Jordan or through the Madrid Protocol that exactly matches the requested domain name, or for the name to match that of the applicant's own company, incorporated in any country. In addition, local presence is required through an administrative contact in Jordan; those without one can use trustee or local agent services offered by some registrars. It is not necessary to be a Jordanian resident or citizen to register the domain, though the local address requirement effectively implies a genuine connection to the country. A relevant feature: domains related to categories such as gambling, chat, erotic content, or advertising must undergo individual prior approval, and may carry a higher service charge than standard.
The holder must have a trademark registered in Jordan or through the Madrid Protocol matching the domain name, or a company whose name matches the requested one, plus a local administrative contact in Jordan (available via trustee services for foreigners). Domains related to gambling, chat, erotic content, or advertising require individual prior approval and a higher service charge. Check with our team to confirm availability and exact requirements.
