    .gov is for US government departments only.
    You can apply here: http://www.dotgov.gov/help_how.aspx

    Majority of the opinions above are wrong.


    Only US government can register .gov

    NOT any other government.

    so no, owning NZ or an island will not allow you to register .gov
    the UK government cannot register .gov.

    Thanks for the info ! No wonder (.gov) tld websites are considered trustable, coz they're far away from the "bad" people.
