In 2024 the registry relaunched the TLD and revised all policies. Since 22 May 2024 it is a requirement to use an accredited registrar. Before that date, registrants could buy domains directly from the registry, which was discontinued. Since 22 October 2024 the registration policies were changed so that any natural or legal person worldwide can register a domain name under .ad. Additionally, domains are not subject to prior validation anymore and are instead processed immediately. Registrars outside of Andorra are also able to accredit themselves since then.Telecom Andorra domini.ad Vull un .ad https://www.domini.ad/vullunad/ 2024-06-03 www.domini.ad ca Domain hack Because .ad is an abbreviation for the word advertisement or advert, .ad has also been used in an unconventional manner as a domain hack by some advertising media.
