About the .SN domain

What is the .SN domain?

The .sn is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Senegal, registered in the IANA database on March 19, 1993, and managed by NIC Senegal, a division of the Université Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD), through the CURI-UCAD service that has operated the full registry since 1997 — another African ccTLD run by an academic institution, much like .lv, .lt or .pa in other regions.

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.
