Hi guys, I just want say that I purchased domain of .us but I am non usa resident. Now I came to know you need to submit a proof about you that you are a use resident. But I don't have this. Please suggest me that I got right information or I can use them. I have just purchased it. What should I do mail back to domain provider or there is any other way i should do. Should I continue my this work or need to take some more steps ......Suggestion appreciated .
Never heard about it. The only restriction I know is that you can't have private whois info. So what domain registrar need a proof?
You have to be living in America in order to own a .us domain. All registrars ask for some sort of confirmation when you register such domains. You can lie and register such domains BUT the registry can ask for a proof of your residence if they suspect that you are not a US resident and they can take your domain from you. I remember there used to be a very popular forum on Xboards.us and it was owned by an indian guy. The registry took the domain and now that indian guy transferred his forum to a .com domain.
Could you please tell the name of the domain registrar, who asked you for the proof? Till, now i haven't heard an Issue like this. But, the domain name registrar have the right to ask their user to produce the documentation such as company registration, trademark registration etc.
