About the .LB domain
What is the .LB domain?
Since February 1, 2021, the registry introduced an accredited-registrar model — registrants can no longer register directly with the registry itself — established an annual fee per domain, and removed the former trademark requirement for applicants. Current requirements vary by subdomain: .com.lb requires the holder to be a company incorporated in any country, with an administrative contact in Lebanon; .net.lb is reserved for internet service providers registered in the country, with a local contact; and .org.lb requires being a licensed Lebanese non-profit organization, or an international organization recognized in Lebanon with authorization from the Ministry of Interior.
Requirements vary by subdomain: .com.lb requires a company incorporated in any country with an administrative contact in Lebanon; .net.lb requires being an internet service provider (ISP) registered in the country; .org.lb requires being a licensed Lebanese non-profit organization, or a recognized international entity authorized by Lebanon's Ministry of Interior. Since 2021, a registered trademark is no longer required, but registration is no longer direct: it must go through an accredited registrar.
