.COOP Domains from Blacknight

A .coop domain is the best way to tell the world about you. And it speaks volumes.

It says you’re part of a global movement of more than 750,000 cooperatives, with over 85 million members, which includes some of the world’s most successful businesses. That you put people first. That you are ethical and fair. That you’re great to do business with. That you’re not just another dotcom. That you’re a cooperative.

About .COOP Domains

  • .COOP is the only domain reserved for cooperatives and cooperative organizations
  • The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) recognised .coop as the cooperative movement’s internet domain in 2002
  • All Cooperatives verify their identity when registering a .coop domain.

Important information

As soon as a .coop domain name is registered by a new registrant the verification process is initiated and the applicant receives an email by dotCoop asking them to provide confirmation or evidence that you are eligible for .coop registration.

The registrant will have two (2) days to respond to dotCoop with ONE of the following to determine their eligibility:

  • A contact in another organisation that can confirm the registrant’s cooperative status (for example the contact in the apex organisation the registrant co -op may be a member of)
  • A copy of the organization’s bylaws that reflect cooperative principles
  • A copy of the organization’s most recent annual report or the most recent past two years of audited financials, which reflect cooperative principles
  • The last two financial statements provided to members
  • A  sample of the organization’s membership application forms and/or membership materials which reflect cooperative  principles
  • Promotional, sales or informational material that reference the organizations status as a cooperative and reflect cooperative principles
  • A copy  of  the  cooperative  act  in  the  country  of  origin  or  other  legal  definition  of  a cooperative  of the  jurisdiction  in  which  the  applicant  operates  and  to  which  it  conforms  along  with  the  legal documents  confirming  cooperative  organization  within  the country
  • A listing of the organization’s board of directors with contact information.

Please note that the .coop name/s registered by this registrant will be inactive until the registrant has been verified as eligible.
