What is a .lv domain?
The .lv extension is the official country-code domain for Latvia, operated by NIC.LV, run by the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Latvia. It is the natural choice for reaching Latvian audiences and is well recognised across the Baltic region. A .lv name is registered for a minimum of one year.
Who can register a .lv domain?
The .lv registry is open to anyone worldwide, with no residency or citizenship requirement; local presence is not needed. Residents of Latvia provide a personal ID number, while companies supply their registration and VAT details. Registrant information must be accurate and the name must respect existing rights. ITMG-Cloud manages the registration for you.
DNSSEC enabled by default
Every .lv domain registered with ITMG-Cloud comes with DNSSEC switched on from day one, at no extra cost. DNSSEC cryptographically signs your DNS zone so browsers and mail servers can confirm they are reaching the genuine domain, protecting your visitors against cache poisoning and DNS spoofing. You keep full control of your records through our advanced DNS management while staying secure by default. Renewals and the required DS records are handled automatically, so your chain of trust never lapses.
