What is a .doctor domain?
.doctor is a healthcare-focused extension operated by Identity Digital. It instantly signals medical expertise — ideal for physicians, clinics, specialists, and trusted health information.
Patients searching for care often look for clear, professional addresses. A .doctor domain tells them your site is about medicine, consultations, or clinical services before they even click.
The extension is open to anyone, but registrants who present themselves as licensed medical practitioners must be able to demonstrate that license if the registry requests it.

Registering a .doctor
Search for the name you want, add it to your cart, and check out. Once payment is confirmed, your .doctor is registered with the registry — usually within minutes — and appears in your dashboard with managed DNS, free WHOIS privacy, and renewal reminders ready to go.
Transferring a .doctor
Already own a .doctor elsewhere? Unlock it at your current registrar, grab the authorization (EPP) code, and start the transfer with Orbit. Your remaining registration time comes with you, and most transfers add another year to keep you covered.
