A .NL Domain is normally used by companies or private entities who are located in the Netherlands.

* Maximum: 63
* Letters and numbers
* Hyphens ("-"), however not at the beginning or directly in front of the TLD
In order to register an .NL domain you have to:
* Request the domain via webinterface or API with the AddDomain command.
''(If you want to use our trustee service please check the corresponding box in the interface or add the corresponding API parameter)''.
[COMMAND]
command = AddDomain
domain = yourdomain.nl
x-nl-accept-trustee-tac = 1

* Generate the "Registration Contract" at http://pdf.rrpproxy.net/ and have it signed and faxed to the number stated on the form.
Please note, that we can only accept fax forms generated at http://pdf.rrpproxy.net, since the .NL registration process is highly automated.

* A fax form is required'' (see Domain Registration)''.
* Configured nameservers are required by the registry. A nameserver check is available here.
