Quick answer
Can I register a .nz domain in your company's name?
Yes: you can register a .nz domain in our name at NomineeName. The registrant is DomaineGoat LLC, incorporated in Panama, so the registrant record and WHOIS/RDAP show the company, never you. As of October 2026, .nz costs $26.99/year, nominee registration included. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private — and you pay in crypto.

Who registers .nz in a company's name?
A .nz is the extension of New Zealand. Its rules are specific: individual holders must be 18 or over, and organisations must be registered. An opt-out exists for individuals who do not trade, but the name stays public. Nominee registration puts a registered company in the holder record.
What the .nz registry receives, what WHOIS shows, what we keep
| Who | What they get for your .nz domain |
|---|---|
| InternetNZ | DomaineGoat LLC as holder, with the company's address. Nothing about you. |
| Public WHOIS / RDAP | The company as registrant, or fields the registry redacts. Never your name. |
| NomineeName | Your verified email and your orders. The email never goes to the registry. |
| You | Beneficial owner: DNS, renewals and the transfer code (free, from your account, at any time). |
What does the .nz registry ask of a holder?
InternetNZ runs .nz. Individual holders must be at least 18, and organisations must be registered entities. Individuals not trading can opt in to privacy (IRPO), but their name remains public. Some registrars offer no privacy on .nz at all. On a NomineeName .nz, the holder is our registered company. The name that stays public is the company's, not yours.
What should you check before registering .nz?
- Hand-back: you can take the .nz in your own name if you meet the rules: 18 or over, or a registered organisation.
- Term: 1 to 10 years per order.
- Second level: InternetNZ also runs names such as .co.nz; this page covers .nz.
- Trading names: if you trade under the domain, the opt-in privacy for individuals would not apply anyway. Nominee registration works for trading and non-trading sites alike.

Frequently asked questions
Does .nz privacy hide my name?
No. The .nz opt-in privacy for individuals hides contact details, but the name remains public, and only non-trading individuals can use it. Registered in our name, the public name is our company's.
Who can hold a .nz domain?
Individuals aged 18 or over, and registered organisations. Our company is a registered organisation, so it can hold .nz names for customers. To take the domain back in your own name, you must meet one of those conditions.
Can I register a .nz for several years?
Yes. Our data lists a term of 1 to 10 years per order for .nz. Our yearly price is the same for registration and renewal. Multi-year terms are paid at once from your crypto balance.
Who owns a .nz domain held in your name?
DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner, under a written agreement in our terms. Your transfer code: free, from your account, at any time. The hand-back of the .nz name to you is free, on request to support from your verified email address. It works where the registry accepts you as holder.
Can a complaint take my .nz domain down?
Not on its own: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court. The strict exceptions have fixed delays: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately. See the abuse policy.
