    Rules and Restrictions

    edit

    In general, anyone is able to register a .bo domain name. According the contract presented by ADSIB, the rule is that "the registration and use, whether directly or indirectly, of the requested domain name does not infringe upon the intellectual or industrial property rights of third parties, nor does it constitute an act of unfair competition or any other act that infringes the rights of third parties or constitutes administrative violations or criminal offenses."[2]

    Second-level Domains

    edit

    The second-level Domains ".edu.bo", ".gob.bo.", "mil.bo" and "int.bo" are considered restricted. To register, one is required to fill a registration form and present:

    • a letter of request from the highest institutional authority requesting the domain name, addressed to the Executive Director of ADSIB
    • a document that certifies the suitability of the applicant's Legal Representation;
    • a photocopy of the ID of the person signing the request. If the applicant is a third party, they must also include a photocopy of the special power of attorney granted by the legal representative.[3]
