About the .SN domain
What is the .SN domain?
There is no need to live or work in Senegal to register a .sn domain as an individual: applications are assigned on a strict first-come, first-served basis, with no residency check. Companies, however, must designate an administrative contact based in Senegal, responsible for acting as a representative before NIC Senegal. The registration process requires providing identity documentation (for individuals) or business incorporation documentation (for companies), with a typical approval window of 24 to 48 hours. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters, with registration periods of 1 to 10 years.
