1. Own a registered trade name in Andorra (limited to Andorran nationals or residents of Andorra for more than 20 years).

2. Apply to the State Signs Service for the use of ".ad" in a domain name. The domain name applied for must be the same as the registered trade name.

3. Obtain an IP address. This may be an IP address awarded by the Andorra Telecommunications Service (STA) or by any other Local Internet Registry authorised by the Réseaux IP Européens (RIPE) (http://www.ripe.net/) or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) (http://www.icann.org/).

4. Once you have obtained authorisation from the State Signs Service and an IP address, you should apply to the Andorra Telecommunications Service (STA), as manager of the ".ad" NIC, to link the authorised domain name with the IP address (ftp://ftp.nic.ad/nic/ft-dom-AD-catala.txt). Return this form to postmaster@dinis.ad.

5. If you would like a hosting service, you should contract an Andorran, or any other, hosting service.
