Companies and organizations, which are resident and registered in Jordan may register a ".jo" domain name. However, the owner of the domain name (or it's representative, which must be authorized) must officially be registered and licensed upon the licensing procedures adopted in jordan.

Companies/Organizations outside Jordan can register domain names through a residing agent provided that he has a licensed active office and is authorized to represent the applying organization in Jordan. In this case, the owner of the domain name is the company/organization outside Jordan and not the representative office.

The domain name must reflect the whole name of the company/ organization or part of it, derived from it as a whole, or a trade mark owned by the company.

- be misleading or confusing for users of the internet.
- infringe on rights of third parties.
- conflict with another name, trade name, trade mark or service mark.
- be for any unlawful purpose or activities not permitted by the Jordanian Law.
- be registered to be resold again.

Registered active domain names must have an operational primary and secondary Domain Name System (DNS) server. Both need permanent IP connectivity to the Internet for queries and zone transfers to be easily checked for operational status and database accuracy at any time.

Transfer of a domain name to another holder should be confirmed by the original holder. The new holder must comply with the new DNS registration rules and the registry has the right to reject the registration if it didn’t fulfill the new registration requirements.

The new holder should submit a new application.
