.registeredagent
Is .registeredagent a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.registeredagent is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Registered Agents.
A weak TLD for most names for registered-agent and corporate-filing service firms (and the applicant's own ecosystem) wanting an industry-labeled or verification-flavored address; possibly compliance/identity products adjacent to entity formation.
Who is applying, and how much each already runs
Registered Agents filed 6 applications across the round.
The nearest 2012 strings, and how many names each holds today
The closest 2012 string, .broker, held 3,322 names, June 2026. .attorney held 4,871; .lifeinsurance held 2. Chosen by AI from every string in the 2012 round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Both are generic role-nouns for a licensed intermediary that businesses retain rather than are, so the registrant pool is the small set of firms selling the function, not the many companies that consume it.
Same bet shape - an open, unowned professional-service term whose registrants are the practitioners providing a regulated legal service, differing mainly in that the legal-services pool is vastly larger and consumer-facing.
A multi-word compound naming one narrow regulated service line, betting that a single product category concentrated among a handful of large providers can sustain its own namespace rather than living as a page under a broader term.

What a .registeredagent domain is
.registeredagent is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, in our Other category. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .registeredagent domain extension real yet?
.registeredagent is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .registeredagent domain?
You can’t yet. A .registeredagent name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .registeredagent was .broker, delegated on 29 April 2015.
Is .registeredagent a real TLD?
Not yet. .registeredagent is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .registeredagent is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). The string names a real but very small B2B vertical: registered-agent services for business entities, an industry with a limited number of firms and heavy concentration among a few large providers, so the plausible buyer pool is thin. At 15 characters it is among the longer TLD strings, which works against everyday use as a primary identity; most firms in this space already brand on .com and treat the term as a service descriptor, not a name. It is not in the 30-49 band because there is no realistic path to volume or price-driven registrations: the eligible audience is a narrow professional segment, and the term is a category descriptor rather than a broadly desirable suffix, so the aftermarket would be close to nonexistent. It is not in the 1-9 band because a genuine, if small, market exists: the applicant operates in this exact industry and its recorded portfolio centers on identity and verification strings, suggesting a credible use as a verified-industry or product namespace, which gives a handful of addresses real end-use utility even if resale value stays negligible. Main market uncertainty (launch assumed): whether the registry runs it as an open industry namespace, a restricted verified-agent credential, or effectively an in-house product space — the value of a third-party address differs sharply across those models, and the number of independent firms that would actually adopt it is unknown.
