Additional Domain Fields

Depending on the domain’s TLD, additional domain fields may be displayed.

Let’s take the example of a domain with the TLD .ca, where the additional domain fields are:

  • The requirements regarding presence in Canada that the registrant meets (Legal Type).
  • The registrant’s acceptance of the CIRA Agreement.
  • Whether or not the registrant wishes to opt out of WHOIS privacy for .ca domains (WHOIS Opt-out).

To find out what to enter in the additional domain fields for other TLDs, please refer to the articles in What Are the Country-Code Domain Specifications.
