What is a .co.nz domain?
.co.nz is the commercial second level of New Zealand’s .nz country code, operated by InternetNZ in Wellington with the Domain Name Commission (DNC) overseeing the rules. It is the ending most New Zealand businesses register first, and the .nz policy says the namespace should be open and accessible to everybody.
Since 2014 New Zealanders can also register directly at the second level (brand.nz), but .co.nz remains the familiar choice for trading businesses. The .nz zone has a secure DNSSEC delegation at the root, and DNSSEC has been available across .nz since 2012.

Which Indian businesses register .co.nz?
Indian buyers of .co.nz are firms with customers or students in New Zealand who want an address New Zealanders read as local. The name usually fronts a dedicated page or site, while the main brand stays on .com or .in.
- Overseas-education agents: counsellors placing Indian students in New Zealand universities and polytechnics, e.g. studyauckland.co.nz.
- Tour operators: Indian agencies selling New Zealand holiday packages and wanting a destination-led name.
- Diaspora businesses: Indian grocers, caterers, tailors and wedding planners serving the Indian community in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.
- IT and BPO firms with New Zealand clients: a local-looking site for tenders and support pages.
- Food and spice exporters: brands supplying Indian stores in New Zealand.

Do you need a New Zealand address for .co.nz?
No — .co.nz has no residency, company or document requirement, so an Indian individual or company registers with Indian details. The two conditions are that a person registering must be 18 or over, and the registrant data must be accurate.
That openness is the main difference from Australia next door. A .com.au needs an Australian business number or company number, while .co.nz can be bought today from Jaipur, Pune or Kochi without any New Zealand paperwork.
How .co.nz transfers and expiry differ from .com
.co.nz moves between registrars with an 8-character UDAI code, and a cancelled name is held for 90 days in PendingRelease rather than going through the grace and redemption stages of .com. During those 90 days only the previous holder can recover it.
- Ask your current registrar for the UDAI (Unique Domain Authentication Identifier).
- Send it to the WebJi® support desk with the domain name; the .nz registry validates the code.
- The name moves with its remaining term; check nameservers afterwards.
A new registration also has a 5-day add-grace at the registrar. For how .com and .in handle expiry, see the domain renewal guide.
.co.nz, .nz or .com: which fits a New Zealand audience?
Use .co.nz when the page exists for New Zealand customers; use .com when New Zealand is one of many markets. The direct .nz is shorter but less familiar to older local buyers; WebJi® can confirm whether a direct .nz name is available before you order. No ending improves rankings by itself in Google New Zealand. A small agency site fits on shared hosting, and the rest of our range is on domain registration in India.
Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .co.nz registry?
InternetNZ in Wellington is the .nz manager listed by IANA, and the Domain Name Commission sets and enforces the .nz rules, including complaints and disputes. Both apply equally to .co.nz, .org.nz, .net.nz and direct .nz names.
Can an Indian student-visa agent register a .co.nz?
Yes, the domain itself has no presence test. Advising on New Zealand immigration may be regulated separately in New Zealand, so check those rules for your service; the domain registration does not depend on them.
What does .co.nz cost for three years?
₹8,016 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹2,348 for the first year and ₹2,834 for each of the next two years. .org.nz and .net.nz cost the same.
What is a UDAI?
The Unique Domain Authentication Identifier is the 8-character code the .nz registry uses to authorise a transfer. Your current registrar issues it, and the registry checks it before the name moves.
Can I get my .co.nz back after it is cancelled?
Yes, within 90 days. A cancelled .nz-family name enters PendingRelease, and only the former registrant can recover it in that period. After 90 days it is released for anyone to register.
