November, 2011 Alert .Pro Registrants are no longer required to provide license information at the time of registration. Instead, you will be asked to indicate your profession. If selected for an audit, you will be asked to provide these details to self-certify your license credentials. A business license is acceptable.
Licensed professionals from anywhere in the world are eligible to register dot-pro domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.
Dot-pro domain names work just like dot-com domains, with the ability to create fully featured websites and email addresses. The extension is already universally recognized on the Internet as the premium space for licensed professionals.
The .Pro domain is a restricted domain name, available to professionals who self-certify that they meet the eligibility requirements of their profession. A business or professional may register their trademarks, industry keywords, search engine terms, company names, or marketing slogans. There is no limit to how many dot-pro domain names an individual or company can register.
Types of businesses and professions now eligible for dot-pro include: Lawyers, Accountants, Engineers, Doctors, Architects, Dentists, Educators, Chiropractors, Veterinarians, Surveyors, Plumbers, Inspectors, Investment Advisors, Real Estate Brokers, Insurance Brokers, Nurses, Opticians, Optometrists, Podiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists, Social Workers, Building Contractors, Electricians, Patent and Trademark Examiners, Court Reporters, Police and Fire Safety Officers and any other profession where an official credential is required for a business or individual to offer services.
New registrations are no longer supported for ProForwarding.
